ANOTHER YEAR.

With this weeks issue The News com pletes the Seth year of it's existence. It has reached an age which entities it to 8 position with the veteran publications, the tried and true newspapers, of the Nutmeg state.
 We do not propose to occupy space to- day recounting the past achievements or contemplating the future efforts of the paper, as the reader well knows what it stands for, what it is doing, along what lines and for what objects it is laboring. All these things have been outlined in our columns on previous occasions and not for moment since The Canaan Printing Company assumed ownership of the paper, in April of 1906, have we seen reason for deviating from the pol icy then decided upon or for abandoning the advocacy of projects which at the outset it seemed to us would ultimately rebound to the welfare of our territory and the residents thereof.
 It is most gratifying to know that the weekly visits of the paper are anticipated with pleasure by our subscribers and it also affords us pleasure to note that our lists of patrons in the various villages in northwestern Litchfield county are con- stantly increasing.
 Of course we have not pleased every one during the newspaper year now closed nor did we expect to. Water will run up hill and codfish will populate the Housatonic river ere the day arrives when any man or men conducts a news paper that will suit all classes. We have done as we expect to do in the future, i. e., advocated, furthered and supported what we believed to be for the welfare of all concerned, even though it resulted in criticism and adverse comment by those whose ideas have not been entirely in accord with ours. But all people do not think alike; we respect the right of everyone to an opinion, and in our effort to publish an interesting, newsy and en- tertaining paper during the coming year opinions we express may run counter to those of some of our readers, but we will endeavor to arouse their ire as little as possible, although it will be our policy to speak right out in meeting" when ever we believe the occasion requires it.

If this sort of thing continues much longer the companies will lose the remnant of public confidence which was left them after the disclosures of 8 few months ago.

ATTEND TO BUSINESS

A new scheme will have to be adopted to persuade some of the legislators to go to Hartford and attendsto business. The resolution asking all members to go there on Monday of this week prepared to reg ularly attend the sessions to and includ- ing Fridnysand providing that each man be paid $2. 50 per day for extra expenses,
 was greeted by remarks of sarcasm and resentment. It was not voted upon but,
 rather, was indefinitely postponed. Every candidate for senator or represen- tative knows full we'll that the purpose for which the people Of 8 town or dis trict send an agent or deputy to the state legislature is to act for them and to safe guard and further their interests. The compensation is small, smaller than it should be, but the aspirant for office knows this and he also knows that his constituency expect him to faithfully perform his duty if elected and this no man can do unless he is regular in at tendance. The man who allows his name to be presented to convention of elect ors for nomination, when he we'll knows that he cannot or will not attend to the duties of the office if his election follows, does his party an injustice and he gives the public an opportunity to vigorously criticize him. He should not aspire to an office unless he proposes to attend to the business of that office if he is elected

STRIKERS ARMED BUT
MINERS WORK
AS USUAL
Leader Petriella Says He Will
Start Things If Sheriff
InterfereS With
Men.
RIFLES and BELTS
WORN IN HOMES
Readiness For Violence Clearly
Shown to Officer Who Makes
Investigation of Situation
on Range at Hibbing.
Minnesota.

Duluth, Mimi, August 2.--All was
quiet In the Hibbing and Eveleth
districts on the range this morning
and larger forces are at work. Strike
Leader Petriella today sent John
Maxi. president of the local branch
of the Western Federation of Miners,
to Sashwauk to call meeting of the
strikers there. He says that If there
is any interference from Sheriff Hoo
lihan. he is prepared to call armed
men from all parts of the range to
resist.
Chief Madde, at Chrisholm last
evening investigated the stories that
the strikers were armed. He found
a number of men waiting at their
homes wearing cartridge belts and
armed with rifles.
Miners Sullen.
The sullen attitude of the follow
ers Of the Western Federation of
Miners indicates an attitude of des-
peration which was somewhat lnten-
sified by a vitriolic address delivered
by Petriella, who advocated the use
or guns to maintain what he said
was their right to sell their labor
where they could at the best advan-
tage.
In his address he gave the governor
"twenty-four hours in which to grant
the men Justice" At the end of which
time he advised the men ito be ready
" strlke the nedu OH any man VINO
tries to crush you
At the end of twenty-four hours
nothing came of this threat but the
officers are prepared. All of the
special guards who have been in Du-
luth during the past few days were
rushed to the range to augment Sher-
III Bates force of deputies.
Carry Out Governors Wishes.
The steel corporation officials are
carrying out the wishes of Governor
Johnson in the manner in which they
are resuming operations. They are
opening the mines one at a time and
gradually resuming work with as
many men as they can get to go to
work. All the old men will be givea
an opportunity to return to work
without discrimination and with the
guaranty of being protected by the
forces at the sheriffs command.
Reports received here indicate that
mining operations were resumed
heavily in both Hibbing and Eveleth
Although hundreds of men are go-
ing to work daily. they cannot be
persuaded that the police protection
is adequate. They seem possessed OF
feeling of impending disaster, and
this feeling has to a great extent been
caught by the public. The city is ap-
parently on the verge of the worst
trouble of the strike, If rumor is 10
be believed.

Whether Taylor will consider the
proposition and accept 1t, is not
known, but some people believe that
he will. II would release him from
further attempts To secure him for
trial in Kentucky and that may have
weight on his actions, though his
friends do not believe he will come

MAY NOT HOLD THOMAS
FOR KILLING Of
BROTHER
Plea For Mercy of Aged Faith
er at Inquest Needed by
COrOner'S Jury.
SHOOTING RESULT OF
MISTAKEN IDENTITY

Bisbee, Ariz., August 2.-It is not
generally believed here that Dee
Thomas will be held for the killing
of his brother, Southwark Thomas,
who was shot down by Dee Tuesday
night at the latter's home in this
city Dee Thomas had heard reports
affecting his family affairs and he
came to Bisbee from the camp where
he is employed, armed with a pump
shotgun, to investigate the rumors.
He neared his house about s O'Clock
and seeing a man seated in one of
the rooms, he fired two shots. The
man was his brother who had come
to the house to borrow a set of har-
ness to use in trying a horse he had
just purchased.
At the inquest held yesterday, the
jury returned a verdict that South
ward Thomas came to his death by
gunshot wound, inflicted by Dee
Thomas, through mistaken identity.
Aged Father Asks Mercy.
The inquest was attended by
large audience and its feature was
the plea made by Thomas aged faith
er to the jurors to treat his family
as lightly as possible"
The old man, with tears streaming
down his face, made an appeal which
everyone within hearing. Dee Thorn
as and his wife sat near the old man,
both crying bitterly.
The slayer told the same story he
gave at the time of the killing He
had been informed that Walter Hub
bard, who now declares that he was
acting only as Thomas friend, had
been entering the Thomas home with
evil intent and he determined to in
vestigate. The sight of the man in
his house, sitting there talking to
Mrs Thomas while she prepared the
one child Of the home for bed, was
too much for Dee Thomas and he
fired twice.
The first intimation that he had
killed his brother was given him
when his wife rushed out screaming,
Dee, you've killed Southwark"
Tried To Suicide.
While the slayer was in the house
tenderly caring for his yet living
brother, neighbors rushed up and
took him in charge. He tried to kill
himself, but was prevented and dur
ing the night he was in Jail his suf-
ferings were eXtereme. When in
formed that his brother had passed
away the morning after the shoot
ing, he again attempted TO kill him
self, saying that he ought not to live.
Both parties enjoy good regulations
here. the Thomas family being one
Of the best known I'm the district, and
the affair is looked upon as an un-
fortunate mistake.
The man who told Dee Thomas of
his wife's alleged infdelity, has dis
appeared, and il Is believed that he
knew he was telling an untruth at
the time,

STOLE MONEY TO SPEND
With HIS BOY
FRIENDS
Lad Caught In Act of RObbing
Cash Register at
Night.
ADMITS TOTAL THEFT
OF NEARLY S45 FROM STORE

Last night a thief who has been
Systematically robbing the cash regis
ter in the dry goods store of S. u.
| Rosenwald on Central avenue and
Third street. was caught red handed
as he was about to take a sum OF
money, Yesterday the proprietors Of
! the RosenWald store complained to
the police that their cash register
was being robbed and asked that
some special effort be made to appre-
hend the criminal. 1t was evident
| from the skill with which the rob
berries were committed, that it was
being done by some one familiar with
the store and The routine of the busl
ness,
Chief of Police McMlllin detailed
Lieut.. Kennedy to secrete himself in
the store last night in company with
one of the store employees to watch
for the thief. The scheme worked
to perfection. About 1890 a slight
noise from the cellar was heard and
then some one approached the place
where the cash register stands. The
thief was allowed to open the regis
ter and just as he was about to sneak
back the way he entered, Lieutant
Kennedy grabbed him.
Upon his arrest he broke down
completely and begged that his name
be not made public on account
of the other members of his family
who are highly respected citizens of
the community. In respect for the
young mans relatives, who are I'm no
way to blame for the acts of the boy
and upon whom no disgrace of this
kind has ever fallen before, The Ciu-
zen withholds the name of the guilty
party.
The young fellow admitted that he
wanted the money to spend with the
boys and his explanation is evident
ly correct.
SIS Taken I'm All.
The amount of money taken last
night was $3.50, and this together
with various sums previously taken
made a total of about $45 stolen from
the cash register.
The boy, who IS about seventeen
years of age, effected an entrance u
in the cellar. In committing his rob-
berries he was careful not to disturb
the stock Of goods or in any way
leave a clew behind him. 1t is not
thought that he robbed the firm OF
any property other than the money,
The police still have the young fell
low In charge and are considering
the best method OF disposing Of his
case. The youth maintained that he
would restore the money he has TAX
en- and the members of the firm are
inclined TO be lenient with him so
far as Il is within their power to be,
but the crime committed is for the
police to deal with and in view Of
the existing circumstances the boy
may be severely handled.
His relatives have reimbursed the
I store for all money taken.
