NOBODY SENT IN THE ALARM.
Box 21 Rang Yesterday Afternoon
 Cause, Some Twisted Wires.

Box 21 Rang Yesterday Afternoon
 Cause. Some Twisted Wires.
 The fire department responded to a call which apparently came from box No. 21 at just o'clock. It was caused by the crossing of some underground wires at Congress avenue and Meadow street. Linemen were working there and it is supposed that in some manner the wires became crossed and completed the circuit so as to ring the fire bells, and the combination happened to be "21." A large crowd gathered at Chapel and Orange streets, where box 21 is To- cated and they all wondered where the fire was.
 Last night. at ' o'clock still alarm was sent to Artizan street and the chemical responded. It was for a slight blaze in the students boarding house kept by Mrs. E. Forbes at 405 Temple street. There was practically no damage done.

LIKE THE ToPPAN CASE.

B. H. Guild. Who Died in Wrentham,
 May Have Been Poisoned-Clue
 Turns up in Connecticut.
 Wrentham, Mass, Oct 13.-The possi- bility that this town is involved in a murder case similar to the notorious ones of which Jane Toppan, the nurse, was accused a few months ago, has startled the citizens on all sides.
 The majority of the residents here knew nothing definite about the matter until to-day, when it was learned that suspicious that B. H. Guild, aged fifty two, who died here last July, about month after his marriage to Mrs. Jen- nie Wilbur, aged thirty, nurse, was a victim of foul play, had prompted Dis trict Attorney Asa P. French to order the body of Guild to be exhumed so that an autopsy might be held to deter mine if possible whether or not death was due to poisoning.
 The action of the district attorney is said to be due to evidence that MT. Guild, few days previous to his death, was in his normal health and that his brief illness was marked by symptoms which would have been caused by pos- oning. It is claimed also that Martin Wilbur of Windsor, the first husband of Mrs. Guild, died under similar cir cur1stances. The woman at present is serving fifteen months sentence. at Sherburne prison for forging MT. Guilds name to a note for s275.
 Sidney Wilmington, farm hand em- ployed by MT. Guild. also is in the re- formatory as an accomplicc of Mrs. Guild in the forgery.

On these sample acres every tree is kept

number aud length of sections or logs cut
