Confusion Caused in Call for
 Stafford District Meeting
R0BERGE DARES QUINION
Offers to Put Collar On Bear For $50 Offered By Captor-Railroad to War on Track Trespassins - Other Items of Interest.

Other Items Of Interest. Fireworks are promised for the meeting of the voters of the stat- ford school district, when the call is 1 issued by the committee. A petition was presented by Alfred Tallis bear ing his signature and those Of nine other voters, one of whom was Ken neth Johnson. who is also a member of the district committeee. In re- sponse to the petition, the call was issued and duly advertised. A day or two following, however according to MT. Tallis, MT. Johnson ap- preached him and asked permission to cross his name from the petition on the grounds that he was now re- siding in Plainville. He was allowed to do this but now Mir. Tallis has raised the question as to why MT. Johnson has authority to sign his name as a member of the committee when he has admitted he is a non resident of the district With the i withdrawal of MT. Johnson's name from the petition. only nine names appeared whereas ten names are re- quired for the call of a meeting. The committee therefore accordingly withdrew the call and the meeting has been postponed indefinitely.
 MT. Tallis and others signing the petition asked for a special school meeting to consider the advisability of permitting dances in the school building. It has been the practice in the past to hold such affairs every second Saturday night.
 The matter of additional school i facilities will also be brought up many of the residents feeling that additional room is required to pro- perly take care of the educational needs of the children.
 Accepts Mir. Quinion's Challenge | Peter Roberge called at the local office of the New Britain Herald to- day and stated that he had on two or three different occasions endeav- ored 10 get George H. Quinon to stand back of his offer of $50 to the person placing a collar about the neck of the bear recently captured in Wildcat by MT. Quinion, Homer H. Judd and Harland B. Norton. To substantiate his statement. MT. Ro- berge handed the following commun- ication to the writer:
 This is to inform the public that I stand ready at any time 10 take up any offers of $50 for putting a col lar on the bear claimed to have been captured by George H. Quinion, Harland B. Norton and Homer H. Judd.
 MT 0uinion offered to give $50 to any person who would put a col I lar on this bear. When I personally saw MT. Quinion on February Is re- garding the offer, he refused to pit up the $50 in spite of his previous statements. I saw MT. Quinion yes- terday and he likewise refused to back up his offer.
 T understand that Mir. Quinion claimed that he was a man of his word in producing the bear for the public of Bristol. Now If he wants to still continue to show the people that he is man of his word and put up the $50, I will make an attempt to put a collar on the bear and will | do it inside of the cage without hold i ing Mir. Quinion responsible in any way.
 T will also do the same for any one else who will make similar offer
 DETER ROBERGE."
