TOWN, MEETING. TALK... 
The political pot is neurite: to 
wari up. in anticipation of Manches- 
ter’s annual town meeting and’ elec- 
tion. Thus far only a few. candidates 
have appeared for town office. 
Former Postmaster Samuel L. 
Wheaton has declared himself a can- 
didate for the board of selectmen. 
So far as we know the present incum- 
bents—Edward S. Knight, Lyman W. 
Floyd and Frank G. Cheever are can- 
didates for re-election. 
One of the most interesting con- 
tests looms up in the announcement 
that Fred J. Merrill is a candidate for 
tax collector and treasurer. Mr. 
Merrill is the former proprietor of 
Smith’s express and those who have 
urged him to run for this important 
office feel he is eminently qualified to 
handle the position as treasurer of a 
twenty-one million dollar concern 
such as Manchester is, and which 
carries with it the actual in-come and 
cut-go of nearly a million dollars a 
year.

Caretaker Joseph Katon was con-

The police were called to the barn 
- of Austin Morley on Norwood ave., 
Tuesday afternoon to investigate the 
actions of a man whom the owner had 
found there. He claimed to reside 
in Beverly Farms and had walked 
here and was laboring under the de- 
lusion that he was being followed by 
some one who wished to do him some 
harm. After being questioned by the 
police he was taken to the station by 
Officer Bullock and placed aboard a 
train for the Farms.

Rank, in which connection we might 
say that the Lieut. J. S. Reed of the

tion of our popular Beach st. cafe
