Word has been received in Ken sngton of the death in San Juan, Porto Rico of William O'Connell, a native of tho town, who sucCumbcd In April 13 to a serious operation. MT. O'Connell was in the service of the United States navy at the time of his death and he had been sta toned in the West Indies for some time.
 MT. O'Connell was well known in Kensington. He was born here, the son of MT. and Mrs. James O'COn- nell. He was known to his friends as Buck" and he was active among the younger residents. When war was declared by the United States ho joined the navy and served during the contest. After the war he re- mained with the naval forces and went on many cruises, finally being stationed at San Juan.
 While in Kcnsington he attended the public schools and later he en- tered the employ of the American Paper Goods company with which firm he was associated at the time of his enlistment. He was 33 years old when he died.

 May Light Fires
 With the nollc of the cases against several residents of the town, brought into court last evening on charges of lighting fires without per mits from the fire warden, the way is opened for citizens if members of any of the fire districts, 10 have their own bonfires without seeking the permission of the warden or his deputies.
 Willard I, Aling, prominent resi- dent of Kensipgton, Frank Kosiac and Peter Bonforte were ordered to court last evening by Deputy Fire Warden Clark, after they had start ed bontires without first taking out permits. It was found that all three men are residents of one of the fire districts in town and so it was pos sible for them 10 burn rubbish with out permission from the authorities The state statute states that persons residing within a fire district may do so and Prosecutor Charles F. Lewis, taking this fact into consideration. asked that the cases he nolled.
 Residents living outside of the fire districts must secure permission from the warden if they wish 10 light fires in the fields or in the yards. This measure is taken so that there will be no danger of the fires running wild and destroying forests.
