Closing of the -four mill at Wells
came as rather startling news to the
people of that village the first of last
week. Adverse freight rates were
given as the reason for the closing
act by the officials of the Information
al Milling Company, of which the
Wells mill is a part. The mill, which
has been running steadily since 1875,
when it was originally erected, will
close down as soon as the present
stock of wheat is milled.

questions whether he has a legal right to post reward. and believes that he has not. The chairman of the fire board, James J. Butler, regards the matter one for police depart ment action, considering that the fire department has performed its duty when it responds to alarms. whether justified or false. and is not actively concerned with the question of cap- turing the responsible party. He said, however, that whatever cooper alive agencies the fire department can place at the disposal of the po- lice will be made available. Mean- while, the police are eNerting every effort to bring about the arrest Of the offender, but are faced with the proble.u of covering" more t.'an 20 alarm boxes in all sectlohs of the city.
 Patrolman Edward Musczynski passed the box at Hart and Hawkins street last night less than two min- utes before the alarm came in. He reported having seen a man standing there, but paid no more than pass ing notice, believing he was waiting for a bus.

AGED WOMAN GETS
 COURTS SYMPATHY
(Continued from First Page)

purchase the house and paid $5,000 down and took a mortgage out for the balance.
 Finds Price Was Reasonable The judge finds that at the time the transaction was completed, real estate here as elsewhere was at peak prices and according to expert testi- mony. the price paid for the house was not unreasonable at the time, although the present value of the house is estimated at S15.00O. The income at the time of purchase was s1,StS per year. which the court finds is a sufficient income to carry the expenses.
 The court further finds that the plaintiffs testimony did not sustain the claim that any misrepresentation or fraudulent statements were made by either of the defendants. and is unable to find that any fraud was ' practiced. Idle tenements and gar , ag's, and reduced rentals made 1t impossible for the plaintiff to sus- tain the burden and on May 25, 1929, she voluntarily quit-claimed the property to Bengston, who claims that if there is anything left of her equity after a sale of the property. he will turn over the money to her. Sale Made tn Good Faith In his decision. Judge Sake agrees that the purchase of the property turned out badly for the plaintiff. and particularly the investment. which should never have been made by the plaintiff. However, the most that can be inferred from the plain tiif's testimony is that the defend- ants stated that the property would be a good investment at $17,5OO. the decision reads. This however, was only an expression of opinion and there is nothing in the evidence 10 indicate that at the time of sale such a statement might not have been made with perfect good faith. In closing. the judge states that the court is unable to find anything concerning the transfer that would involve the defendants in legal liability. It is further adjudged that the plaintiff has no estate. title. in- terest or remembrance upon the premises to which she claims inter- est by virtue of . caveat placed on the property September 14 last. and the court deems the caveat cancelled and discharged from record.
 
 Attorney William E. Hagearty represented the plaintiff. Israel Nair was counsel for Bengston and H. E. Emanuelson of New Haven repre- sented Danielson.
