Aftsr hearnG evidence submitted to him A the town court Tuesday morning. Judge V. Fenner Woodward found prob able cause for hoiding Fred LaFont2tne of WoodBtock for trial at tho next term of the superior court having criminal iuF4SdiGtien. He fixed the bonds at s2,- 500, Ia default of which LAFontaine was rSos1Amitted to Brooklyn jail, where he has been held since his arrest last week by Deputy Sheriff Charles E, Aver and State onicer Howard B. Elliott
 LAFontaine Is charged with seduction and entieing girl for immoral pur- poses LaFontaine did not exercise nay of his rights in court Tuesday, contenting himself with stating that he will obtain counsel to represent him when the case comes 10 trial in the superior court. He declined also the opportunity to ask such questions as he might desire of his ac- cuser, after she had given her story to the court at Tuesdays session.
 It was testified in court by the com plainant In the case that she became ac- 1ua!nted with LsFontaine in Pineville last year during July, while he was engaged in doing some repair work on a chimney of the mill in that place. There were meetings thereafter for a time and then LaFontaine went away and did not put in an appearance again until September. In October the complainant said she told LaFontsine that she had learned that he IS a married man, but she testified that he denied this and said that he was a divorced man.
 There were no further meetings be- tween the two until toward the end of last year and nothing really wrong about their relationship until January of this year. according to the story told in court by the l9 year old girl who figures in the case.
 During the past month the affair cul- m.nated in the girl going to Woodstock on LaFontaine's promise to marry her. she testified. She remained there most or the time at LaFontaines house, she claims, until she was brought away last Friday by an officer. LaFontaines arrest followed disclosures she made Friday tc officials here.
 What's this? Politics in the first of Inc cooling winds that have come trailing in the wake of the July heat wave There were whispers about town Tues, day relative to plans that look toward the formation of a third" party. Some people who were asked about it didnt t-splay much interest. Promoters of il are said to be enthusiastic. They wan to organize and be ready for business 'n the first Monday in October, when the annual town meeting VIII be held
 Object of organizing is said to be witf l view to getting town officials who vii Tt down the town expenditures. Every. body, especially the taxpayers is in favor of that but everybody does not believ, hat third party is a means of guaran .scing this much desired result
 Be t understood that the third party 9romotors have no particular care as tt whether the republicans or democrats ge pumped through their activities The, a-c engaged at present in trying to lin ur both republicans and democrats fo their organization. They want to ous most of the present officials, republical or democrat, and put some new men ol tho job.
 The third party activity. if continued II add some spice to the Septembe campaigning. There is no denying tha there is heavy independent vote in Xiii lingly. but whether it can be corraled il a third Harty program is another thing Tho independent voters in many case will want to know all about what kin of candidates they are going to be aske 10 vote for before they leave their pres ent near-reiations with either of tn older parties or the candidates they of fer. Most politicians are well aware tha citzens who would make splendid tow
 
 come candidates. There's the rub. Wha is the third partys program in deta and whom will it name on it's list ( caruidates2 Most of the independer voters will demand answers 10 thts questions before they do anything reall worth while 10 boost the new party nov, menu In any event, this seemed to | tht sentiment insofar as it could be teste Jut here Tuesday.
