Last week Wednesday afternoon
about s O'Clock an elderly woman
stopped at the house of Bert Lamb,
who lives ON the Wood place. She
was in a very bad shape from the
effects of the cold. Her feet were so
nearly frozen that she was hardly able
to move about. Mr.. and Mrs. Lamb
took her in and attended to her as we'll
as they could. She was foreigner
and they could not understand her.
Shortly after she came, while they
we're out of the room, she left the
house and they we're unable to find
her, until Mr.. Lamb, with the assis-
lance of his neighbors, Mr.. Bates and
son, finally tracked her to shed on
the Marsh place. When they tried to
get her to return with them she re-
fused, and they were obliged to carry
her by force back to MT. Lambs house.
Mr.. and Mrs. Lamb kindly kept the
woman over night, and the next day,
after trying number of times to find
some one who could talk with her,
finally found Bohemian who could
understand her. She was Polander
and belonged near Springfield, and
had recently lost q daughter. She
was looking for work and had become
respondent. Mr.. Lamb took the
woman to Selectman Ruby on Thurs
day. Mr.. Ruby kept her over night
and carried her to Stafford Springs on
Friday and bought her a ticket for
Springfield.

DRACNET INVESTIGATION
STILL HOLDS THE BOARDS
Testimony of Engineer Maxon and Foreman Hob
son Throws Much Light on
the Situation

investigation of the manner and pro-
cedure by which the contract for the
Normal Hill sewer system was let.
Attorney Miles S. Johnson is aking
a critical investigation into the entire
matter and it is expected that num-
Der of contractors, who originally bid
on the sewer system, will be called
by the state to identify which contract
was the original, and he also expects
to bring out the facts as to why the
specifications were changed and by
whose authority.
Attorneys Bender & Lingelfelter for
defendant Haight are taking a decided
stand in behalf of their client and are
endeavoring to show that Haight can
not legally be held on the attempted
bribery charge contending that Inspec-
tor Eichenberger was not an officer
of the city which would be sufficient
to release him even though money had
been offered Eichenberger.
At the close of the testimony on the
part of the state on last evening At
torney Lingenfelter renewed the mo-
tion to dismiss tn case on the ground
that the testimony conclusively
showed that Eichenberger was not an
officer as contemplated by the statute
and was therefore not amenable to the
law, and in the course of his argument
praised County Attorney Johr son for
the courage manifested by him in
making such a sweeping investigation
of the sewer contract and compared
him to the indominable. irrepressable
and invincible Joe Folk of Missouri
but maintained that defendant Haight
was being used as scape goat tc
enable the county attorney to try all
the parties in any way connected with
the sewer contract.

REDMOND IN FAVOR OF
IRISH HOME RULE
The Irish Vote Can Only be Secured by Promise
of that Concession All Other
Plans are Futile

Irish vote only on the promise of home
rule and said our present government
is corrupt. Ireland had rather govern
herself badly than be governed well
by another nation.
Ireland lags behind in commerce ag-
riculture and art because an education
board was imposed on the country
which was anti-national, narrow and
incompetent and should now be swept
into the dust bin. The governments
attitude on the university eduction
plan was a dishonest evasion OF an ad-
mitted duty. The governments prom
ise had been false. The Irish gave Red
mond tremendous ovation when he
concluded.
