L. Bergman of Chicago and George
Kirk of Stamford, two commercial
drummers. were the guests of Quarter-
master Noyes of Stamford, Tuesday
night, and shared the extra cot in his
tent. At exactly 2 o’clock Wednesday
morning, Adjutant Crofut and Lieut.
Houlihan of Co. B. entered the tent,
Crofut wore his cast-iron face, and or.
dered the lieutenant to rouse the sleep-
ers. When the commercial men opened
their eyes the adjutant demanded their
passes. They got up and meekly hand-
ed them to him. “I‘hese passes are not
good after 10 o’clock, and I’ll have to
take both of you to the guard house.
Lieutenant, order a guard,” thundered
the adjutant. The frightened commer-
cial men made‘a bluff, and Noyes turned
over on his pillow to smother a laugh.
‘ Adjutant Crofut said that all explana-
tions could be made at the guard house.
Then the men put on their clothes, and
begged Crofut not to call a guard squad.
When the men had dressed, the adju-
tant said that he was satisfied that there
Was no intention on their part to break
the rules of the camp, and if they would
set them up he would drop the case.
“But we haven’t anything to set ’em
up with,” pleaded one of them.
The adjutant said there was lots of it
in Quartermaster Noyes’ chest, and they
took what they wanted from it. Then
Adjutant Crofut charged the men 75
cents for the drinks. Then they smelled
a joke—Bridgeport Farmer.

Wilton People Have an Interest in His
Prosecution.
A justice trial of unusual interest to
residents of the village of North Wilton
will come up before Justice Reuben M.
Rose in the town hall at Wilton on
Monday. George Hull, a groceryman
in the village, will be prosecuted for
cruelty to a horse under acomplaint
issued at the request of the Connecticut
Humane Society. Edward M. Lock-
wood of Norwalk, prosecuting agent of
the society, will prosecute the cast.
North Wilton is a small village, and its
groceryman, although he weighs only
115 pounds, is a conspicuous figure,
Importance attaches to the ease in that
the opinion of the people of the village
is divided. Hull has his friends who
stand by him, but the sympathy of the
majority of the best people of the vil-
lage .is said to be with the society.
The society received complaint last
March that Hull had cruelly beaten a
horse. ' An officer of the society inves-
tiéka‘téér the abmpmintlmd advised'Hull ‘
not to repeat the offense; He was defi-
ant, however, and on July 6 the society
heard of his beating a horse‘ again.

given him by the officers of the society, , U
and on'August 10 he Was arrested for
cruelly beating the horse on July 6. On
the day of his arrest an officer of the
society found a feeble horse which Hull
had driven to Ridgefield. When he
was spoken to about the inhumanity of
his act he said he drove such a horse as
he could afford.
The society’s agent ordered Hull not
to use the horse until it became fit for
use, but it was reported that lie disre-
garded the order of the official of the
society and used the horse later in the
same day. When Hull was arrested on
August 10 he asked that the case be ad-
journed. An adjournment was granted
until Monday under bonds of $500.
Hull’s bondsman is Rufus R. Ruscoe.
What Hull lacks in avoirdupois is made
up by Ruscoe,'as he weighs 325 pounds.

Strawberry Hill Racket.
Charles Hoyt, son of the superintend-
ent of the Town Farm came to this city
at an early hour this morning after an
officer. He said that Owen R‘ce was
threatening the life of his (Rice’s)
mother with a hatchet, at her home on
Strawberry hill, so called.
As the alleged disturbance was out of
the jurisdiction of the oflicer, Mr. Hoyt
was sent to the home of Constable
Morehouse but did not succeed in en-
listing his services.
Chief Bradley was then visited at his
home on Franklin avenue and he came
as}far as the station-house,butdecided to
return home. _
About 7 o’clock Owen Rice and one
of his brothers might have been seen
standing on Mill Hill seemingly much
interested in the work going on there.
The brother had a blackened eye and a
wounded hand.
As near as can be learned, while
Owen may have threatened his mother,
he did her no bodily injury. The fight
seems to have been between the two
brothers and was brought about by
Owen’s coming home under the influ-
ence of liquor.
As no one has seen fit to make a com-
plaint, it is not thought that any arrests
will be made.
