East Norwalk people are talking ser-

patrol the town, as it is being overrun
with the depreilattons of a during

chicken houses. A number of chickens
have been stolen during the past three

of it. They believe that if the resi-

pointed a committee to visit Bridge»

the Red Men of Fairneld county to
hold a meeting there Labor Day, made
the trip Saturday afternoon. Mr. Smith
did not meet with much success. as
he found all the Bridgeporters were
thoroughly enthused over the Old
Home Week celebration which will be
held from August 31 to September 7th.
As this will Include Labor Day, it will
be practically impossible to hold the
affair in Bridgeport. as every available
resort will be occupied. and a shore
dinner e peclslly for the Red Men could
not a ranged, and there will be no
pla e where a meeting could be held
on that day. A large auditorium is to
erected In Seaside Park, and If this Is
allowed to remain in place after La~
bor Day the convention might be held
there at a later date
. R W. Fawcett, of Stamford was to
go to Meadow‘s End. Milford, to see
about holding the convention In that
place, and It is thought the affair may
take place there. if It Is held at all.
Messrs Smith and stcett will make

her allowance of time makes a bent
of about five minutes. ,
There were also two knockabouts In
the race. the Panipero. owned by Rus-

the Messrs. Moasinan. The honors go
to the Pampero. The liucoit did not

2:05 the thirty-six footers were start—

away ten minutes later.
It was a beat out In a light breeze
and a run home.
Despite the fact that the Pompom
started ten minutes after the big boats.
she completed the course before either.
The finish was quite pretty, the three
boats coming across the line In close
order.
The Defiance had all of the better
of the Sells on the run across the

Neck twentyefour minutes in advance
of the Eolis. Commodore Farrell had
much trouble In getting around the
buoy, eight or ten minutes being eon-
sumed. On the run home, however.
he caught the breeze. Which freshened
somewhat from the south and began
to rapidly overhaul the Defiance. Al-
though she gained twenty minutes on
the Defiance on the run home, It was
not suillclent. Had the course been a

festivities which accompanied the an-
nual picnic of the Arlon Societies

Staedtler‘s park. where the picnic

and jolly a gathering as ever aspen»
bled within its confines. There were
numerous visiting societies. and new
oral specially invited guests of honor

orchestra of ten pieces provided mu-
sic for dancing, and with the cXcel~

Judge Sanka Decided Against E. C.
Sherwood, Father of the South-
port Abscondcl‘.
A new phase of the Southport Na-
tional Bang imbrogllo has come to
Iightthrougb the recent finding in a
hearing before Probate Judge Elmore
S. Banks In the Ann Elisabeth I’erry
estate. About eleven years ago by a
provision In the'will of the testnier a
bequest amounting in property and
cash to about $64,000 was left as a life
residue to Miss Miranda B, Merwin, of
Newiisven, and at her death the be-
quest was to go to Trinity Church cor-
poration. of Soutbport. E. C. Sherwood.
father of the missing cashier, was
made executor.
it is nine years since the last report
was made by Mr. Sherwood. and re-
cent developments in the Sonthport
National bank affairs prompted Miss
Merwin'and others in interest to ask
for an accounting, which the probate
judge ordered.
There were issues raised on three
Items and a hearing was begun. It"
appears that. at the date of the filing
of a previous report._the estate inven-
torled 854.000, the bulk in reality. and
about ”4.000 In cash.
The execut. “ . disposed of the
cash by the pure e of Southport Na-
tional bank at 6 shares owned by
himself and sold by him as such for
about 810, 000. There was a loan to 0,
T. Sherwood of 82.500; one also to
Frank Sherwood for 81,600.
On teaming the facts in the case
Judge Banks made an order disallow-
Ing these three Items, which results in
throwing back the stock on Ill. 0.
Sherwood had leaving him as executor i
in debt to the estate to the amount of
$14. 000. the loans the uded.
Whether the executor will appeal
from the decision of the probate courti
remains to be seen.

long. 35 feet wide and there was an
oil on the rear. 40 feet square. The
building Was two stories high above
a basement 16 feet in the clear. The
cause has not been determined, but It
Is believed to have been due to spon-
taneous combustion. ,
The memberoof the family were
seated on the plaza of the house, not
far from t e barn, when they noticed
smoke cre’. ing out of a crevice. Be-
fore Mr. Sherwood and his son could
reach the building It was in flames.
John H. Sherwood, seventy-three
years old, was severely burned about
the hands in his efforts to extinguish
the blaze. Three horses and two cows
ware saved, but a lot of harness. sev-
eral wagons and carts, a sleigh, thirty
tons of hay. eight loads of rye and a
large amount of other produce was
burned.
The barn was situated upon a high
hill and the blaze was seen for out on
