 May Purchase Shack


 The SeQuassen corporation has come to an agreement with B. H. Bacon in regard to the one-room wooden shack on the railroad prop erty next to the new Strand theater building. At a meeting of the di- rectors Wednesday night the matter will be taken up and an offer made to MT. Bacon. who has requested such action and has expressed a de- sire to cooperate in removing this detractor from the appearance of the new structure.
 The new issue of stock in the corporation is being sold rapidly, a number of sizeable subscriptions having been made by outsiders. The directors wish it understood that the sale of this stock is not limited to Odd Fellows, as the impression seems to be.

 Souse Hit By Auto
 A man who was too intoxicated to give his name and address narrowly missed being killed last night when he lurched out into the path of a passing automobile. The driver turned quickly aside and slightly damaged his car in doing so. but he was successful in evading the drunken man. The latter was then put in the car and given a free ride to the lock-up, where he spent the might in preparation for arraignment in court tonight.
 Forfeit Upheld
 The forfeit of the Plainville '. M c. A. basketball team, claimed when the New Britain Comets called off their game with the locals last week, has been upheld by Harry An dcrson, president of the county league. The league rules provide that notice of cancellation must be given at least 4 hours before the time for the game; the Comets lost the floor on the day of the game and had to call off the contest. This puts Plainville in third place with four games won and two lost, one game behind the New Britain South church and two and a half behind the New Britain State Trade school. The locals are scheduled to play the latter team here this week but will have to secure a floor in New Brit ain or Bristol as the high school gym here is not yet ready.
