BANKRUPTCY IS CAUSE
Howe Was Formerly Lessee Of the
Putnam House But Is Now
Out Of Town

The bar at the Putnam House was
voluntarily closed this morning by
Fred b. Howe in whose name the IL
cense was issued.
The action is the result of his petit
ion in bankruptcy which has been filed
by Mr. Howe at Burlington.
A meeting of the license commission
ers will be held tomorrow when it is
probable that the license will be revok
ed under the law which provides for
the revocation when the licensee enters
bankruptcy.
Since Mr. Cornell resumed the man
agement of the Putnam, Mr. Howe has
leased from him the bar room and the
bar has been conducted by George A.
Miller, in the employ of Mr. Howe as
before.
" the license is revoked by the COM
missioners it Is probable that Mr. Mil-
Ter will at once make application for
the license.

doubt about the constructionof broad
gauge road between 5rattleboro and
South Londonderry.

the officers to haul towline of con-
siderable length that was towing
over the taffrail. After pulling in
forty or fifty fathoms, which had
put his patience severely 10 proof as
well as every muscle Of his arms,
he muttered to himself:
Surely, it's as long as today and
tomorrow! It's a good weeks work
for any five in the ship. 'Bad

it yet? Och, murderl The ss's
