 Walter Burdick recently bought plot of land of Joseph Rood a couple | of miles above the town, on what is known in this section as the Plains. He built 8 house and now conducts q 1 small store and auto supply station in | connection with his home beside the l way. One afternoon in the latter pa1 of last week four young men, well l dressed, in an automobile bearing New York register, stopped at his door. One man came in and called for the presented 9 box of cigars. The GUS toner after critically looking them over selected one and offered a $10 bill in payment. He explained that he had nothing smaller so MT. Bunrdick made the change, which lay on the counter, $9.90. At this point man No. 2 came l in and immediately declared that was 8 shame to ask a man to change | $10 for ten cents. He produced a small l CT bill which he threw on the pile. Then
 came No. g. He allowed that the oth-
 CTS ought to be licked for making such 1 a fuss for a cigar, he threw down some coin also. Then followed the time
 worn game of manipulating the money. They pushed back Mir. Burdicks change | threw in ten cents fer the cigar and l left in the direction of Plainfeld The
 storekeeper figured up what was left l and found that he was $5 shy. He cranked up his auto and started in pur- suit. In a minute or two. as good for 1 tune would have it. he met state po- 1 lice officer from the Danielson barracks. The cop heard his story and took in terest at once. He was able to over haul the men near Moosup and insisted that they come back to Burdicil's where 1 they were positively identified. There were offers of a settlement but the off
 cer refused to listen. e took them tc Danielson. where after some plrley and
 stories, in which they declared their in
 nocenee, they paid Mir. Burdick what
 they had taken by a careless mistake. and were allowed to depart. Saturday afternoon at meeting of the board of selectInen, Arba Brown
 ing was appointed as the third member
