 Legal Battle.-W. C. T. U. Meeting
 Miss May Morgan of Park street was nominated for town clerk by a large majority at the republican caucus held in the Town hall last night. Miss Morgan received 43 bal lots out of 53 cast. The other l3 were divided between Judge Merritt O. Ryder and Assessor Schuyler P. Will Hams.
 The nomination of Miss Morgan did not come as surprise to either the democrats or republicans. as she ap- peared to have had clear field ahead of her before the ballotng started This office nomination was the main issue of the c. o. P. ranks. The democrats did not put anyone up at their caucus, intending, according to Chairman William J. Foran, to await the outcome of the republican cau- GUS. It Is probable that the demo- crats will also indorse Miss Morgan as they had announced they would do were she nominated. Miss Nor gan was mentioned by the democrats before their caucus as a possible can didate on their side.
 | Miss Morgan was showered with congra tulations on her victory at the caucus last night. Her conscientious work at the town clerks office as assistant to Judge Ryder has placed her in high esteem by the townspeo- pie who favored her candidacy for the place. Selectman William J. Indications so far point to her election at the polls on Monday, Oc- tober 2, and in case she wins out Miss Morgan will be the first local woman, or in fact, the only woman in this immediate locality who has been given the honor of filling the office of town clerk. Her victory has been hailed with pride by the women voters of Plainville who feel that now show what their representative can do m the running or town.
 Johnson Nominated.
 Selectman William J. Johnson. des- pite his refusal to run for that office again, was nominated for first select man. He was not opposed and his nomination was received with much applause from the republicans at the caucus. Mr. Johnson thanked the people for their support and there was a more cheerful attitude among the ranks of the G. o. P. followers when Mir. Johnson announced that he would accept the nomination in view of the support he had been given. His refusal to run for the office caused some consternation in the ranks when the news came to them and the town committee was at loss as to whom to put up.
 Selectman Johnson will therefore have for his opponent at the polls, ex-Postma ster Peter J. Prior. This will be the first clash between these two politicians and a close battle is looked forward to.
 Selectman Johnson in his state ments this morning, said that he hop ed the 1,2oo republican voters in town would turn out on election day in order to make clean republican sweep at the polls.

The dissolution followed a lengthy legal battle between Mennone and Matted during which Mennone was attached for alleged non payment of money into the business and Matteo in turn was attached by Mennone with a body writ of S5,000 for alleged mis- representation of the real assets the business had Matteo is claimed to have told Mennone that the business was worth several thousand dollars more than 1t actually was and an in ventory by Mennone resulted in f1nd- ing the assets were much lower than he had been told.
 Attorney William J. Donovan of Bristol, is representing Mennone in the case. Matteo has, however, now released the attachment he held on the Mennone property at Hart's cor ner which amounted to s3,500. Men none claims he cannot attach the | property inasmuch as he had trans ferred it over to his sister, Rosie Men none, who is minor, being but [ years old. Mennone now cannot get his property back from his sister. 1t
