Bertram Thompson of 2 First street, Meriden, is being held at the New Britain police station pending trial before the regular Tuesday evening session Of the Berlin town court, charged with carrying a con- coaled weapon. Thompson was ar rested yesterday evening by Officer Frank Brown at the home of Edwin Iindbcrgh following disturbance during which Thompson is alleged 10 have drawn gun on Lindbergh.
 According 10 the story told the police by the local resident, he ac- cused Thompson of slandering Mrs. Lndbcrgh and the Meriden man drew a gun. Lindbergh said he hit Thompson with his fist and knocked him down a flight Of stairs. Thomp- son was in need of medical treat ain police station, Dr.. William F.

 Sentiment regarding the building code adoption is evenly divided as the time for ( vote on the matter approaches.
