”filial! diluted to some extent 'upon a
potltioo handed in to the eelectuien, and
which the seiectmen were requested
to call a town meeting, st they may

Wile the ‘ property of Miss Quirk.
The Hour stated that the selectmen. in
.eouversetion with one of its reporters,
said that aIlMiss Quirk’s property, as
costume in said petition, ‘is owned by
the town of Norwalk, and has been
, ‘ squatted upon by her‘, but that he, the
‘ selectmau. believes it more than proba-
‘ hie that she had received aquit claim
: ,dedd from someone. Now, the truth of
‘ the matter is, that Miss Quirk holds a
. good and sufficient deed of warrantee
forsaid property. and that she has held
" the same for over eleven years past, the
, . me having been givento her, consider-
htion of $800, by Milton VanKnren and
' . ’ V wile,“ the town of Norwalk.For over ten
' years and a half Miss Quirk has always
supposed that'she held good title to this
‘ rty, and it was not until suggest-
,ed by counsel for J. Sturges Randall,
“ some four or five months ago, when the
mmoioncy of her bond was questioned
in court, that she was appraised of the
cloud being upon her title.‘ As it now
stands. in my judgment, there is con-
siderabie of a legal question as to wheth-
er the town of Norwalk can assert title
to the property that will defeat the title
of Miss Quirk. '

“The building of the trolley road will
be one of the most important enterprises
ever started in this vicinity to build up
Durieu.” said an old and :progressive
resident to a reporter. “The place is
desirable for homes, but the people have
becn slow. and Darien has never been
pushed ahead as other towns, but the
trolley brings about what the people
have never been able to, and in a few
years Darieu will not only have increas-
ed in population, but property values
will have greatly increased, and the
‘Iittle town will be sought- for as a place
for suburbauresideuts."

C. 8. Guide: has been known for
many yearsas one of the most accom.
modsting men living. Whenever a
neighbor wanted to borrow anything
they knew they would never be refused
by Mr. Golder, unless it was someone
that had not returned what they had
borrowed. Mr. (iuider had a ladder
that he used to go up into the cupola to
get on the roof. It was made an exact
length and a hook was put on each side
to hook over an iron bar that crossed
the hatchway. to keep the bottom from
slipping on the waxed floor below.
Someone borrowed the ladder, and as it
was not the right length to suit them,
they sawed about fourteen inches off
the bottom. When Mr. Guider put the
ladder up the other day to search for a
leak in the roof, he found it was hung-
ing by the hooks alone and was about
fourteen inches from the floor. He had
to get a box and put under the bottom
of the ladder before he could go up into
the attic. “I am daily looking," said
Mr. (luidcr, “for the parties to bring a
new one in its place."
