Boston Institutions Anxious to Find
Claimants for Snug Little Sums.
Boston, Nov. 28.-According to a law of
Massachusetts, savings banks are re-
auired to publish each year list of such
deposits as have not been called for dur
ing period of twenty years preceding,
giving the names of the depositors and
the accounts. One would think the work
would not require much space in a news
paper. And yet the ful1iIlment of this re-
quirement in just two of the savings in
stitutiOns in Boston occupies a column and
a half in one of the evening papers, the
names being set in very small type.
In one bank there are 1877 of these ac-
counts, and in the other 239. The amounts
average in the hundreds, but less than
$1,000 The smallest is %26 and the largest
a little above $4,000, and the total for these
two institutions reaches the astonishing
sum of S22G, 1912. The banks advertise
for information concerning any of these de-
positors, as all of them are unknown or
their whereabouts are unknown to them.
Following is the list of the accounts, the
amounts of which are over $1,000, each
little fortune, lying unclaimed in a bank
that is clamoring for some information
concerning the owner:

The Princeton Boys Fall Before Yale's
Mighty Football Team.


New YORK, Nov. 25-Once more Yale
has defeated Princeton. Once more the
Tigers have failed to score, and again the
blue flag waves triumphant over the foot
ball field. Probably never before in the
history of football has such game been
witnessed. For brilliancy of play, I'M
looked for maneuvers and fine individual
work, the game of '92 will stand pre-emi-
nent.
Nothing more heroic than the work of
Laurie Bliss and of Captain King of
Princeton has been seen on the football
field in years. Bliss neck was wrenched
three times. and his lame knee injured
on four different occasions. but with
Spartan courage he continued in the
game, and only gave up in the latter part
of the second half when he had to be lit
orally dragged from the field. Graves
took his place. Plucky little King was
injured six times, but stuck to his work
throughout, amid the applause and adj
miration of friends and foes alike
The score at the end Of the game stood
IL to O. Princeton worked bravely and
scientifically throughout and would GER
tainly have scored had it not been for the
poor play of Hall.

The horrible double murder was re-
garded at the outset as the deed of some
one devoid of reason, and from it's very
brutality and the evident cunning with
which it was planned and executed the
theory held that it was committed by the
wild man, who has figured so largely,
gained ground. This wild man has never
been found and no trace of him has been
unearthed. Lizzie's queer actions and
doings have long been matter of remark
among her acquaintances even before the
murder drew the attention of the whole
newspaper reading public to them.
The rumors that Henry G. Tricky, the
newspaper man, is wanted for attempting
to interfere with a government witness,
are believed to have foundation in fact,
and in the event of their truth they will
form an important feature of the case.

A Peculiar Animal.
Especial Correspondence


NORWICH, Conn, Nov. 24.-While out
hunting day or two ago James B. Peck
ham, a well known resident of the neigh
boring town of Preston, caught and
killed peculiar animal, the exact pedi-
gree of which he is very curious to learn.
He was tramping through the woods
when his attention was attracted to the
animal, which somewhat resembles the
polecat. Carefully approaching it in the
rear, he succeeded in killing it with a
club and brought the freak home.
The animal is about eighteen inches in
length, and with the exception of its
tail is covered with fine soft hair of a
dark gray color, tipped with brown.
The head is of very peculiar shape,
with long, snoutlike mouth, and nose
and ears that closely resemble those of a
raccoon. The teeth are very long and
sharp and very regularly set. The tail
is several inches in length, without a
hair, and pinkish white in color. The
feet also are hairless to the ankle joints
and are tipped with long, sharp claws,
evidently used for digging. There is a
very slight odor about the body similar
to that of a skunk, and the animal is
probably of that species. Nothing of the
kind was ever seen before in this vicini-
ty, and Mr.. Peckham is very anxious to
learn Just what the animal is. He has
taken care to preserve the body, and the
curiosity now occupies a prominent
place il his museum. J. T.
