A WILD YEARLING.

Remarkable Conduct of a Connecticut
Bred Animal-Trying to Corral It.
Willimantic Dec. est is an I'M
common thing for Connecticut-br bred
neat cattle to become wild, especially
after having been raised with animals
of it's kind. But such case has re-
Gently come to light within two miles
of this city. Last May Henry Potter
who lives in the edge of Columbia
turned out to pasture some young cat
tie, among them being a yearling.
About a month later he went to
change the stock to another pasture,
when this particular yearling did not
seem inclined to follow it's mates to
new fields. and rather than bother by
chasing about, the animal was left;
it being thought that it would get To- =
some and follow of it's own az I'd.
Since that time Mr.. Potter has been
unable to get sight of it. The yearling
has gone wild, and although people
have seen it in the woods they have
never been able to get near it. Several
far have not been able to get within
rifle shot of it. The moment that it
gets sight of a. human being it will
run like a deer, and no fence, however
high or substantial, is sufficient to stop
its fight.
| There is an extensive range of woods
! through which it ranges, and hunters
have occasionally caught sight of it,
and report that it is fat and sleek. The
recent cold weather has driven it to
| the vicinity of the barns after some
| thing to eat, but no amount of watch
| ing or strategy succeeds in getting it
| trapped. A few days ago a sheltered
place in the forest was accidentally
found where this yearly had rested
nights, but it was too wary to be
| caught. Hay was carried to the place
every day, and during every night the
yearling would eat the hay and desert
! the place either at daylight or as soon
as anyone approached. Mr. Potter has
| recently erected a corral at that place,
and by keeping the enclosures daily
supplied with hay, hopes to be able to
catch the animal, but so far has been
unsuccessful. The yearling comes to
the place every night, eats the hay pro-
vided the previous day and is gone be-
| fore anyone can get near the place.
An attempt is now to be made to rig a
| trap door to the entrance to the cor
raj, which the animal will spring when
| it enters.

DEATH NARROWLY AvERTED,

Clinton, Dec. 29.--Mrs. Cornelia
Whitemore, an aged lady residing in
this place, had marvellous escape
from what could not have failed of be-
ing instant death shortly after noon on
Christmas day.
The Colonial express, due here at
1924, and late on account OF heavy
travel, was approaching High street
crossing at the rate of about thirty-five
miles per hour. Flagman Myron r.
Jones had waved the signal "all right, -
stepped to one side to avoid the dust
and discomfort incident to the trains
onward rush when he observed Mrs.
Whitemore in the act of crossing d.
rectly ahead of the iron monster, appa-
rently oblivious to it's nearness. =
Not a moment was to be lost if she
was to be saved, but Jones' was equal
to the emergency. With bound he
seized the aged lady bodily in his arms
and sprang back just in time to avoid
the fatal cowcatcher, the engine in
passing almost brushing their gar
ments. This is only one of many very
narrow escapes, of late at this point,
and Jones act of heroism certainly de-
serves more than a passing mention.

CHICAGO FINANCIAL TROUBLES
Chicago, Dec 29.-As a result of the
voluntary liquidation of the Atlas Ma

were borrowers therefrom to the
amount of 100000, have made an as
signment to the Equitable Trust com
pany of Chicago, which took possession
of the Van NortWicks bank at Batavia

The failure involves the entire inter-
ests of the Van Nortwicks, whose esti-
mated wealth, according to their last

senting besides the Van Nortwick bank

INTERESTING FACTS


Concerning the United Workers Boys
Cuba Glance at the Clubs Work
and Field of Operations,
There are comparatively few people
! who know anything of the good work
done among the poorer boys of the city
by the United Workers Boys club.
From rs to as many as $50 boys may
be found at the rooms on Orange street
any evening, of all sorts and sizes,
patched and ragged, white and colored,
but all intent on having a good time.
| The rooms are well arranged for the
purpose, One large play room, with
tables and benches is the scene of boys
busily reading, setting puzzles, playing
checkers, ringers, bagatelle and various
other games. Sharp little fellows they
are, too, and he is a good one who can
beat them at checkers. Above there
is large room used as a gymnasium,
oIten the occasion of wonderful contor-
tlons, so wonderful sometimes that the
/ superintendents have been forced to
visit neighboring clothing store in
order that the youthful gymnasts may
depart with some of the garments nee
w NiNlliACu llIt Ill the rear OIL
TINS room are baths. The shower baths
being an especial, and sometimes a
most necessary attraction. Through
the kindness Of lady who does not
wish to have her name mentioned,
carpenter class is conducted three
tunes a week, thus furnishing at least
! the elements of a trade to many little
hands that might otherwise be idle.
This class is popular, too.
| Nor is the good work confined to
these rooms. The club acts as a friend
to the boys when they are in distress.
Each morning the superintendent visits
! the court to look after the little va
grants who may have been picked up
the night before. Some of these are re-
claimed Those who have ito be sent
up are not forgotten. The work of the
club in this direction was put to a
practical test this summer. Funds be-
ing low, the club was closed for two
months. Immediately the court record
was full. When the club resumed OPP
erations, the police had fewer boys to
| look after
| Mrs. Il. G, Beach, the enthusiastic
| chairman of the committee having
charge of this work, yesterday told the
journal and Courier" of some of the
boys she had seen here "One, | re-
member, dirty and ragged enough at
one time, ! heard from recently as be-
ing in a gentleman's office in New
York. Next fall he thinks of entering
college, His reformation can be traced
to the boys club. Another little bit of
a fellow, always appeared so much
cleaner than the rest, that / asked him
! If he didn't think it was nice for his
mother to clean him UP SO nicely. oh,
he said, ruined away We'll, that is
sad oh, no; father and I am both
glad, and so would you be, too, if you
had her for mother "
The boys club is department of
the United Workers charities, and is
supported entirely by charity The ex-
penses average about $500 a month.
Books, clothes, games and other little
items interesting to the average boy
are often contributed But what we
most need" says Mrs Beach, lis for
the friends of these little fellows to
once in while step in and interest
themselves in the boys and in our
work"
