 An enjoyable social gathering was held at the home of Miss Bessie Flynn of 115 South Leonard street by num- Der of friends, last evening, and a pleasant time was spent iii games, stories and songs by those present. Refreshments were served. Some months ago several coils used for winding cable wdre on disap- peared from the yard down at the new l power house on Vest Main street. The coils are worth about $1O to the company and are of no value to any one else unless they chop them up and use them as kindIing wood. When 1 they were missed the police were no- tifed and they had their eyes out for them, but no trace of them could be found All hopes of recovering the stolen goods and punishing the guilty parties were almost given up until q 1 few weeks ago, when an accidental clue was discovered It happened in this way: The gas pipes were being i laid along North Riverside street when one day Lithuanian boy came along, picked up one of the shIoyels that q laboder had laid down and carried 1t 1 into the house, The foreman saw the boy take the shovel and kept a keen ! eye out to see where he took it. As soon as the boy disappeared the fore man went into the house and demand ed his property. The boy refused to give into taking the shovel or to know 1 ing anything about its disappe earance. 1 Anyway, the man decided to search l for his property and in doing so he I came across one of the coils in the eel l lar. It aroused his suspicion at once and 1t was not long before news reached the office of the New Milford power house. A man employed by the company, accompanied by an off, I cer, called at the house and made a thorough search of the premises, but could only find one coil. Nothing more was heard of the case until yesterday, l when another visit was paid to the same house, probably with the inten- l ton of making another search, but l they were much surprised to find that l the tenement was empty and that I theiq bird had moved to other guar ters They were afterwards located, 1 however, and wagon of the New Milford Power Go was to be sent after the coil which they had discovered. I We have all the good baby foods and keep them fresh by ordering at frequent intervals. If the one you are using doesn't agree with the baby, try one of ours A. c. Walker.
