George NJ. Phetteptaee OF Vernon was
drowned in the Connecticut river Sept. 20
near Hinsdsle ferry. Everett stockweli,
who has charge Of the ferry, went home
and when he returned he found one Of
his small boats missing. He went across
the river and found the body floating q

four weeks OF rest convinced him that
idleness, even at his age, possessed no
charm, and Sept. l6 he returned to his
bench at the organ factory in the action
department, where he spent practically
all OF the last century, and the firm was as
pleased TO have him back as he was to go.

V. Ry yards at st. Adams for petty

same plan as the well known brass cases

nloyees and Junk dealers and others were

tematic theft OF brass fittings and trim
mings from the local yard and round
house.

him out. His head struck rock and
there was large wound which had bled
freely.
