HEN PATCHES OUT
 EIGHT YOUNG QUAIL
Mother Bird Killed by Machine
 Barnyard "Biddy" Saves Brood

Thoughtfulness on the part of CharlesNL. Luce and his wife, of New ington, have resulted in saving the lives of eight young quail, when the mother hen was killed accidentally just before they were matched.
 MT. Luce was in a field on his farm moving hay when he saw he had run over something with his moving ma chine. Investigation revealed the fact that he accidently had killed quail which had been sitting on g. nest of eggs. The nest. containing 22 eggs, was taken to the house where Mrs. Luce put them under a hen
 Subsequently eight young quail ap- peared in the barnyard, healthy and full of life, not to say anything about being full of fight, much to the ap- parent disgust of their foster mother hen
 So much turmil and comm otion was raised among the chickens by these scrappy youngsters of the forest that it was necessary to dispose of them for the peace of the barnyard. MT. Luce accordingly communicated with the state game commissioner at New Haven and the new corners weer ship ped to the state farm at\Madison.

Arthur Stanley has returned from a vacation spent at Lake Congamond.
 Conlin Makes Statement.
 John E. Conlin, constable, this morning made a sweeping denial of the charges laid at his door by Con table Philip Marine who accused him of being the prime mover in an aSi- tation to injure my character" or words to that effect MT. Conlin stated that he was accused of giving the story of Marinos alleged attacks on two local women to the represen- tative rof another newspaper. Con- lin stated this morning that he not only did not give the story to the cor respondent but also does not know who the man is. Cohlin says he was just as surprised as anyone the next m orning in reading the, story which he is stated to have given to the pa |per.
 As for the Stone case where a dog started 1t all. Conlin remarked that the case was won by the late Attor- ney F. T. O'Brien of Meriden. who made a sweeping attack on the con- stable and witnesses who. he told the court in Hartford, were clearly guilty of perjury. 'If there is going to be any trouble of any kind I have enough to back me in the line of good clear evidence" Conlin finished.
 It is reported now that another of- flcer of this town is going to the bot tom of the affair to see just what is wrong. As reported some time ago this same official has some mighty in- teresting evidence of neglect against some officials and if he presses his ac- tiyities there may be some fireworks in this small town.

Recano. the passage had been booked for him, and plans called for sailing on August on the IS. S. Canada. While the police were conducting an investigation, two men called and inquired, as to Dicesaro's $ financial condition, stating that he owed for rent at the Arch street house, while another said he loaned the dead man $12O recently. t
 As far as can be ascertained, the man was to leave the Gasperi woman soon, her friends saying that she had never intimated in any way that she intended to return to Italy. It was noted by them the decided change that came over her since the letter from her mother. She lived with him believing him to be. single. and with 1 the thought that he would some day | lead her to the altar, friends declare | After viewing the body of Dicesare, Medical Examiner Dr. Waterman Lyon gave permission for its removal to the undertaking establishment of Larai l and Sagarino.
 Revolver Was Stolen
 It was learned by the police this afternoon, that the Iver-Johnson re- volver used by Dicesare was stolen from the store of Joseph Soli this morning. The revolver lay on a shelf at the store, and was badly rusted Dicesare was a visitor at the store several times, and when the thought of his deed entered his mind today he made straight for the store where he secured the gun.
 Letter is Translated
