The continuance was sought by Prosecuting Attorney Torrance Car mody in order to give Sergeant Far- rar, who wis ill today, an oppor- tunity to explain why he did not call a lawyer for Tallarico.
 The continuance came as a srr- prise for all evidence had been given, Judge Thomas Weary had found Tallarico guilty and fined him $100 and costs, Atty. Francis Mcdonald of Waterbury, counsel for the ac- cused. had given notice of an ap- peal. Then after a conference, Pros. Atty. Carmody asked the sentence be set aside and the case be continued in fairness to Sergt. Farrar.
 Tallarico's car on Jan. 20 crossed the walk on South Main street and crashed into Daly's restaurant. Pa trolman Raymond Carlson who made the arrest, said Tallarico was under the influence and did not perform test successfully.
 Defense counsel brought out that Tallarico hit the steering wheel with his head and suffered a cut. He contended that Tallarico was not drunk, but dazed for time. It was stated by the patrolman that Tallar- ico asked that Atty. Mcdonald be notified. Tallarico was arrested but Sergt. Farrar apparently did not contact the lawyer.
 Carlson said Farrar told Tallar'ico he was in no condition to talk with anyone Atty. Mcdonald said the constitution of this state guarantees an accused the right to counsel and medical attention, and felt both should have been supplied immedi- ately in this case. Capt Anthony Malone contacted Mcdonald the next morning after Tallarico had spent night in jail here, the att torney said.
 Tallarico claimed he had fallen asleep when the accident happened, but asserted he only had two drinks. He indicated it took him from two and one-half to three hours to get to Naugatuck from Bridgeport that night. Judge Weary indicated he did not believe part of Tallarico's story.
 In the case of Arthur Cornell of Southbury, charged with intoxica- ton, bond was reduced to $5 and then was declared forfeited when Cornell failed to appear. He was a companion of Tallarico.

Flaming Meteor Often
Seen But Seldom Found

sition of meteorites is usually so diff
ferent from anything native to the
earth that scientists have little trouble
identifying them. Almost invariably
they contain alloys Of iron and nickel.
Sometimes practically the entire mass
is composed of these metals. In stony
meteorites, silvery- appearing nickel
iron grains are usually thickly sprink-
led throughout the stony body.
Lightweight objects, full of holes. are
not meteorites, but are usually lava or
clinkers from a fire. They have ex-
perienced intense heat-but not in the
sky.
According to the writer's experience,
O.OO2 of all suspected finds" are gen
uine. Out of about 1000 specimens re-
ceived the past eight years only two
were the real thing" These were from
Washougal, Wash, and Ashland, Mont.
But he hopes the shower Of stones"
will continue, and that the next 1000
will test higher in star dust"

sides this he sat up each night as the
| long snakelike passenger trains craWled
| by the little log cabin and dreamed
Of a night when he could sleep I'M
disturbed Last Of all he attempted to
build a fence along both sides of the
tracks. The post holes were between
the ties at each end. The companyS
injunction prevented his putting IN
gate across to charge toll. The fence
passed into memory. Perry tackled
Officials CajOle, Curse
In turn, the railroad had failed TO
fence the land. Sparks from the trains
set fire to the timber adjacent to the
tracks The section men laughed at
him. The officials cajoled and cursed.
The railroad injunction soon became
a scrap Of paper. Their offers were
discarded as Perry had been ignored
In the early days, according to the old
mans story. One Christmas, the law
Of the country the old sailor fought
for, reached out and took him to Jail.
He went to jail because he would not
promise TO abide by the decision Of
the court. Three days later Peter Perry
succumbed. His dog, his old white
horse, his cats, his animal friends,
went hungry. He told the Judge of the
district court that he would promise.
The railroad runs unmolested.

man, 1.-THE land is mine and if they
do not give it to me III win cut
my logs on that hill yonder and slide
them down. Like I did before. They
must give me a place to cross, and
they must pay; Or" and a VEIN
ridged arm, tatooed with the crossed
anchors of the navy, pointed to the
crest Of the mountain, a half mile
away.
Perry told in broken French and
English Of the time he slid logs across
the tracks and broke a rail Terror
gripped the man. He had no malice

GUN-TOTIN POSSE
LANDS RED CHIEF

1t required a gun-toting posse, di-
rected from the air by a flying United
States marshal, to vanquish defiant
90-year-old Pia Machita, Papago In
dian chief. whose lifelong resistance to
the United States government was cli-
NAKED when he ordered his young
braves to ignore selective service regis
tration.
Pia Machita and 10 Of his followers
were in a federal jail at Tuscon Ariz,
recently charged with assault upon a
deputy marshal who was mauled when
he went into the southern Arizona
Fapago reservation to arrest the re-
calcitrant Indians last Oct. Is.
A 17-man posse, making its third
trip after Pia Machita, approached his
village by automobile and horseback at
dawn, guided by Marshal Ben j. Nc
Kinney from an airplane.
McKinney's plane landed on reser-
walton road The officers surprised the
old chief, who surrendered when con-
WINGED that he and his men were out
numbered.
To apprehend rebellious Indians in
other nearby villages, Mckinney re-
turned to the plane and led the posse
across the desert, dropping notes Of in
struction and circling low over the
tribesmen fleeing through the mesquite
bushes.
The officers granted Pia Machita
time to milk his COW and eat his break
fast before removing him to the Sells
Indian agency.
Pia Machita has steadfastly declined
to recognize the Gadsden purchase Of
1858, by which southern Arizona was
added to the United States.
In 1885 he rebelled at the Wheeler
Howard Indian reorganization act, and
for six months flew the flag of Mexico
over his village. Last year he chased
census enumerators from the reserva-
ton, but finally relented.

From Georgia comes the account OF
the recent finding of a one-ton meteor
lite, one of those strange stones that
occasionally come tunbling down from
the clear blue sky A boy working in
a field that had been cultivated for
generations struck something very hard
when his pillow dipped little lower
than usual.
Investigation revealed a large mass
totally burned. A specimen sent to the
Smithsonian Institution at Washington,
D. c., was pronounced meteoritic. AS
a result the entire mass has been pur-
chased for the national museum.
These objects are discovered in va
rious ways, sometimes decades after
they have fallen. In 1887 Jacob Snyder,
near Gettysburg, Pa, found a BAT
pound iron meteorite while digging a
hole to plant an apple tree. He thought
he had struck an iron mine.
In the '80s Mr.. Kimberly in Kiowa
county, Kansas, was greatly plagued by
the metallic stones" which often
caused his pillow handles to swat him
violently in the ribs. He piled the stones
behind his barn and in 1890 sold them
for almost the original cost of his
farm.
The Society for Research on Meteor
ties in December, 1910, listed 1,347 me-
teoritic finds" throughout historical
times. Sometimes a find" consists of
only single piece; occasionally, as in
the Holbrook, Arizona, shower of 1912,
thousands of stones are involved.
Strange to say, almost half the
finds" have been seen to fall. Most
supposed falls, however, are erroneous.
A flaming meteor most certainly seems
to strike the top of a nearby hill. In
reality it was likely 100 miles away.
The next day an ordinary terrestrial
rock is taken from the hill top and
reported as a witnessed fall.

PARSEIL TO BOSS
BIG GAME PLANS

Jack Parsell, recognized by game
authorities as an outstanding big game
expert, assumes charge Of the Treas
ure states big game management
project under the Pittman- Robertson
/ act
DR.. j. S. Mcfarland, state fish and
game warden, said in announcing
Parsell would have charge of the big
game work, I'VE are fortunate in Sc
curing a man generally conceded to
be one of the principal big game au-
thorities In the west" adding that
Parseu was known to many Montana
sportsmen through work he has carried
on here in the past.
He said Parse1 will survey Critical
areas" and carry on the extensive
groundwork preliminary to building an
organization.
Actual project work begun this year
win be started Nov. l and continue
until June 1, 1912. ParSeIl, however,
will be employed the year around, while
the big game project itself is planned
to extend over a period Of years.
DR.. Mcfarland said the big game
management project, the second to be
started by the state game department,
has not been formally approved by the
federal government as yet, although
approval is believed certain.
The first project, already approved
by the federal government, win be the
transplanting of beaver, to be started
in July.
Cost Of the big game management
program has been estimated at SILL
900 for the two fiscal years ending
June 80, 1913.
ParSeu, who will be in active charge,
has had many years experience in big
game management IN the west. He has
at various times been employed by
state governments, including Montana,
Idaho and the forest service.
One of his most recent tasks was
supervision Of elk management in the
SeIway primitive area Of north Idaho,
in an elk project listed officially as
the most extensive of its kind ever
carried out Earlier he had worked on
big game programs in the Bitter Root
and Lolo national forests of Montana
and Idaho.
One of Parsell's specialties In the
big game field, the state game warden
said, is his work in forage and that
he is generally recognized as being
an authority on browse and grass for
age and its Notwithstanding advantages.
DR.. Mcfarland said the big game
is planned as an annual
project to be actively carried on eight
months of each year, affording long
time program in the field of the big
game animals.
