Petition after petition has been
filed with the aldermanic board
and as yet no direct action has
been taken. John Bender and
Daniel Mahaney went to bat for
the last group of petitioners and
stated their views on the subject.
At that time it was reported that
there were no funds with which
to even think of starting such I

could be furnished with q field to

nothing in the way OF a park

tions of having representative

couragement in this line of activ-

Pulls Stickup Gesture on DR. j. Sheridan Bell After

It was into DIR. Bells Office that
John had directed himself.
DR. Bell had a case in his hands,
and John asked, whats that?"
Surgical instruments" said the
doctor.
John's right hand was in his

DR. Bell: Drop them"
Seeing Johns hand buried deep
in his coat pocket, the doctor did.
"Come with me-" said John and
he led the way out the door. Two
other people were entering the
building at the time, so DR. Bell
| ducked away from John and called
q policeman from across the street.
The policeman looked at John
and called the wagon. A search OF
Johns clothing failed to disclose
any dangerous weapon and he was
booked on charges OF drunkenness
and breach of the peace.
In court this morning John was
very frank. He had come to Wa
terbury Sunday with his uncle, he
said, by car. He'd been drinking
O. lot, he confessed, and didn't
know much Of what went on ex-
cept that he did want to get to

'In fact, I'm still groggy, your

his uncle and he'd allow him to

Here is q story in which some.
one got not only the point but all
the points.
It is still worrying the Sherlock
Holmeses in the post office and
their most valiant efforts have
been unable to find either any mo-
tive or any sense In the whole
thing.
Last Friday morning, at an I'M
earthly hour, the post office JAM
tor began his job of cleaning up
the lobby. Noticing a pen out of
place, he started to replace and
found that the nib was gone. The
other pens on the table had suf-
fered the same fate. and so had
all the pens in the lobby.
Baffled, he told his superiors.
whoever did IT," said one am
ateur sleuth, will go to the pen."
YES" said another, his guilt
will be pointed out"
So there the case stands. The
points are gone but not forgotten
and someone has lot of nibs.
The point Is, again, that someone
got all the points.
