Strong Canton.
A taste of old time base ball was
had Saturday, in Danbury. when the
East Danburys succeeded in defeating
the Independents, of South Norwalk,
in a ten inning game. A great crowd
witnessed the contest. The bleachers
were filled. and there were ranks of
people stretching out on either side of
the boundaries.
Everybody was expecting a close
game and as it. turned out they were
not disappointed. although for four in-
nings it looked like a one-sided con-
tent. The visiting team went to the
but first. Defcnback. the first sum up,
succeeded in getting to first on a hit,
but died stealing second. Laliy walk-
ed. the next man, Day, was caught out
by Foley. and Hagerty struck out.
N. Fennell went to the but first for
the horns team. He made second on a
bit and stole third, then he crossed
home plate and McNaiies, G. Stratton
and Foley went out in one, two, three
order. For three innings, thereafter
the visitors made no runs.
D. Fennell made a run in the second.
Hunter in the third, and Stenson in the
fourth. In the fifth tuning the inde—

loy and ladrlgan brought in three runs
in quick succession. The East Dan»
burys made no runs in the last half of
this inning, but I). Fennell and Griffin
brought in two in the sixth. Neither
side could then find the bail until the
ninth. Mcnahan, Howley and Latirigan
again piled in three runs, thus lining
the score, 6 and C.
in the flrstbalf of the tenth inning,
Day scored for the Independents} and
Danbury sports began to iOok blue. The
game was going to be lost, won or tied
.in the last half.
The game grew intensely interesting
and when George Stratton stoic around
to third and made home plate, enthus-
Iasm ran high, Foley went out. D.
Fennoll went to first out] when Griffin
was at the but made third. Griffin
fanned out and Stenson took up the
stick. Every eye was on the better.
The audience roared with excitement.
Twice lie swung and hit the air. The

Uncoocerned While in Court
in Hartford. this Morning
——Poiice Captain Conn falls
of Confession of Accused
HARTFORD, August 9.—-Joseph
Watson, the negro lad who shot and
killed former Police Commissioner
Henry Osborne, last Friday morning,
was in the city court today. for a
hearing on the charge 01’ murder. As
he sat. on the prisoners' seat under
guard of officers. Watson exhibited no
special interest in the proceedings, Af-
ter the reading of the complaint Wat.
son entered a plea of guilty, which
the court refused to accept. In re
sponse to inquiries made by the court
as to Watson's age. the appointment
of a guardian ad litem for Watson was
ordered, but none of the attorneys. of
whom there were a large number pre-
sent, would accept the office. The
court finally named E. L. Smith. an at.
torney, and Mr. Smith consenting, the
hearing was begun. At its conclusion
Watson was held without bail for the
next term of the superior criminal
court, which will sit in this city in
September.
Officers Allen and Sullivan, the first
witnesses, told of the finding of Wat-
son in the house, hidden under a bed
in the basement. They also testified
to seeing the body of Mr. Osborne,
Coroner Taintor described the wounds
on Mr. Osborne's body. and exhibited,
the bullets recovered.
Dr. Knight, who made the autopsy
on the body, gave corroborative testi~
rnony. .
Captain Gunn, anothcr'witness. re-
lated the conversation he had with
Watson. He said that he warned Wat-
son against talking, as whatever he
said might be used against him. Cap~
tain Gunn then gave the following eon-
i’ession of Watson:
“I got to the house about 12:30, and
entered through a side window. i
went to the basement and fell asleep.
i stayed there until 8:30 in the morn—
ing. whenligot up and wcnt up stairs
to Mr. Osborne's room. When i got
there. Mr. Osborne was up and said:
grabbed me and l wrenchctl away and
allot. him. I put. the first shot in hitn
while he was in the bedroom, but he
came after me, and 1 shot him again.
in the bathroom. and again when we
were in the hall way. Watson said his
motive was revenge because the ser-
vant girl was telling stories about
rim, and Mr. Osborne believed the
:irl and did not believe him."
The confession goes on to say that
he went there for the purpose of kill-
'ng him. and that he shot Mr. Osborne
four times.
Captain Gunn identified the revolver
which Watson says he bought in a Sa-
vannah pawn shop for $5.

The worst has happened and life is
no longer worth living to many in
South Norwalk, The place is desolate
and the inhabitants in tears, for there
is a Lolly Pop falnlue. ‘Tis true and
pity 'tis, 'tis true. a dealer confessed
it this morning. He stated that he had
had an order in for three weeks for
Lolly Pope. but could not. get any. the
demand was so great that the Lolly
Pop foundries. even though working
over time, could not supply them fast
enough. ‘ -
Lately Lolly Pops have been king
in the candy stores. They are of va-
rious colors and flavors and consist of
a chunk of transparent candy resemv
bling a nlttch used cake of soap on the
end of a stick. They are eaten by lick-
ing them. giving the tongue a rotary
motion while doing so. Many child-
ren find that it is very pleasant to rub
them on their faces.
It is sincerely hoped that the string»
ency of the Lolly Pop market will soon
be relieved. , .
