So worthy and beneficial an organ-
ization is the Boy Scouts that it seems
hardly credible that in Norwalk there
is not exhibited more of an interest
in carrying the work of this organiza-
tion forward to the success attained
in other cities.

At the banquet given last night. in
the Hotel Mahnckemojn honor of Com-
allusioner l’irie MacDonald. the com-
missioner pointed out the crying need
for scoutmasters in this city.

From 30 to it) young men, Commis-
sioner MacDonald stated, are needed

to take charge of the boy" Scotti
troops in Norwalk. Mr. MacDonald
is giving generously his time and

knowledge in conducting a training

school in this city. preparing young

men for the work of scoutmasters.

This training is not only of an im-

mense value to the individual. but

also enables one to he of great ser-
vice in Work among local boys.

. An appeal is made for more young

men to take up scoutlnasler training.

and the council is cooperating with
the commissioner to the end of secur-
ing the needed number of students.

Then were seventeen in attendance
at last night‘s pleasant banquet. The
following were elected officers of the
Boy Scout Council: .

asserted, "that it's a case of spite on

Grey's port."
I m luau one in which Attorney
Gray appeared for the plaintifl

against Mr. Davis. as defendant, was
the fraud action of Ella-both Mills
against Mr. Davis and Attorney units
s. ‘Beeru. . .

The Sentinel, this morning, secured
the following detailed explanation oi
the history of this case:

lira. Mills purchased a piece of
property from Dudley E. Hoyt. The
papers in the transaction was trans-
ferred to William-fluhbell. it is al-
leged the property was not all that
was claimed, but at any rate Mr.
liubbel brought a f. .. closure action.
He attached all of hi . ‘Milia' proper
ty, including her old homestead. At
this point MM. Mills retained Attor-
ney Davis to help her save her home.
Mr. Hubbeil ‘won the foreclosure ac-
tion, gaining a judgment of 31.6”-
This was seltled.for 8772.80. The
Sound View property of Mrs. Idllla.
it is claimed. was not worth the mort-
gages, and Mrs. Mills didn't have the
money to pay the Hubbell judgment.

Attorney Davis and Attorney. Been
advanced Mrs. Mills the. money. that.
her homestead might be saved. The
llwycrs took over property. at
Mrs. ‘Milis' on Aiken street._vvortll, it
is said, 3250, to make up 3170 do
ficlency. and to pay attorney's fees for
fighting the previous case, and to
cover advanced money.

A year following Attorney Joseph
A. Gray brought suit for fraud to the
I Superior Court. The case was thrown
out by Judge Webb, who rendered a
decision in which be emphasized his
opinion that "Davis and Beers had
acted very ofticiently.’r

The case was again brought by Mr.
Gray to the. Court of Common Pious.
it was tried before Judge Booth and
a. Jury. Judge Scott was disqualified
from conducting the hearing. This
trial- the defendant; did not unit that
the one be thrown out, but. desired it
go to the jury. The jury. yesterday,
was out about four minutes when
they brought in a verdict for Attor—
neys Davis and Beers, the dolundants.

[The desire on the part of tho‘gov-
ernment for recruits to the army and
navy is well indicated in the addition-
al advertising posters which have
been posted on the walls of tho MI-
towtpost omen. setting for they the
advantages of life as a marine. sailor

or soldier.
