q TINS National Anniversary
Few Of the small, cities have
succeeded In making as much af
memorial day as Milbank has a.
ways done, and this fact has beea
largely due to the interest taken
in the matter by the local G.. 4.
K. post, which at each recurring
year planned for its proper
observance and superin tendeneA
the proceedings.
The day was ushered in with
threatening weather, but fortp.
nately the rain held off until
about the noon hour, when Q
drizzling shower set in and there
was more or less of mist in Tho
air during the afternoon. This
condition of weather undoubted.
ly kept many from attendiqg
who would otherwise have done
so, and the crowd was not .
large as in former years.
The thinning ranks of the vet
erans was q noticeable feature of
march but eighteen of the old
soldiers taking part in the parade
whereas q few years ago more
than twice that number werefre-
quently in line. The colu mn
was in command of w. G. Nc
Pherson, with Hopfner's juvenile
band in the lead, G. A. r. veter.
ans following, aud the foresters
and Woodman, with citizens il
carriages bringing up the rear.
At the cemetery the ritual
work of the G. A. r. for the &C.
casion was gone through with,
and both the old soldiers and
Woodmen deposited flowers at
the graves of comrades aud
neighbors.
The afternoon exercises were
held at the court house, q num-
Der of beautiful memorial pieces
being rendered bya choir Of sing
ers under the direction OF JOha
Burgan, and solo by Mrs. G. 4.
Mills. The address Of Hon. O.
Branson, of Mitchell, was one of
finest we ever listened to. Il
was an eloquent appeal to patrio-
tism and most touching tribute
to the valor and devotion of the
soldiers of the civil war.
After the exercises game cf
baseball was given for the enter.
tainment of visitors, the high
school nine and Woodmen nine
being the contestants, the game
being won by the latter ina score
of 5 to l.

Easter crosses. They prove that death

He is not one who can manacle his

He is a messenger who can fly swifter

Chief Croker Visits Norfolk

Fire Chief Croker of the New York Dr. Archer and Captain Rush, aide to Chief Croker, visited Nor folk last week. Saturday morning Chief Croker reviewed the local fire de- partment which was called out on the village green for the purpose. He in- tended to give an exhibition of work with scaling ladders, but the failure of the ladders to arrive rendered that inn possible. AS it was he instructed the department in the manner of coupling and uncoupling hose and the best methods of carrying and raising ladders Under his direction ladder was placed on the Congregational Church, line of hose carried up to the caves of the build ing and a stream thrown over the steeple from that point with hydrant pressure. Chief Croker gave the village depart ment two belts used by firemen to fasten themselves to ladders and also a special nozzle.

STRAY SHOTS

We wonder what effect the short corn crop will have on the crop of husking bees? Probably someone is prepared to answer that there'n be as many bees as of yore but that there won't be as much corn to husk and, consequently, the apples, cider and doughnuts will be passed earlier in the evening.
 They say Canaan will have the finest, most modern and most completely ap- pointed hotel of any village in the state when "The Garfield Inn" opens for business.
 We wonder why chief Croker isn't invited to Canaan to give demonstra- tions. We also wonder if anybody would know where to find the hose cart if he should happen to ask for it.
 That Uncle Tom s Cabin outfit shrunk amazingly between the time the ad- vance agent was here and the arrival of the show. He told about the 20 horses. the 40 people, the 12-man band and when the show arrived we'll, you saw it.

MASKED MEN
 AT M|LLERTON
HELD UP TELEGRAPH OPERATOR
Was Covered by Revolver for Two and Half Hours and Then Taken Two Miles out of Town-Purpose of Men Unknown.

Millertonites were much excited Fri day morning when they learned of the daring holdup of Robert Grant, tele- graph operator at the Harlem railroad depot at Millerton. The affair is one of the mos6 mysterious that has ever oc-, cured in that vicinity ard the authori- ties are at loss to account for the actions of four strangers who left as mysteri- pusly as they came and without ac- complishing their purpose if they had one in view.
 Grant was sitting at his desk in the railroad station about 1 o'clock when the curtain on the window in front of him was partly drawn and revolver pointed at his head. He was told to sit still and not to touch the key at the peril of his life. Thus he sat until 3:30 in the morning when three other men arrived and he was commanded to open the door. The men, all of whom wore masks. then took the handkerchief from his pocket, and after blindfolding him, ANNt Aillll bO a SpOl hhONiA us Center on the road to Amenia, N. Y., about two miles from Millerton, where they left him with orders not to move. After standing still about twenty minutes, the plucky telegrapher decided that he was alone and tearing the blind fold from his eyes he ran at full speed back to Millerton. He immediately notified the other stations along the line of what had happened and then, think ing that the men had footed the stores of the town. he aroused Officer Freeman Travers and William Denny, cashier of the bank. A diligent search was made but nothing had been distured.
 Many of the residents maintain that the men intended pulling off a big rob bery somewhere in the vicinity but were frightened away in some unac- countable manner while others believe that it was a joke on Grant. At any rate Grant got the scare of his life and will not soon forget the experience.

BARLOW WANTS INJUNCTION.
Would Prevent Canaan Sewer From
 Passing Through His Land.

Last week Salmon Barlow's opposi- tion to the laying of sewer pipes through his land in Canaan took the form of an application for an injunction, restrain ing the fire district from laying the said pipes.
 On Tuesday the fire district, by its at torneys J. H. Roraback of Canaan and l.. J. Nickerson of West Cornwall, ap- peared before Judge Case in Hartford to show cause why such injunction should not be granted. Warner & LandoD of Salisbury appeared for MT. Barlow. whose contention is that the act grant ing the right of eminent domain to the fire district is unconstitutional and. inas- much as portion of the land in ques- tion is outside the limits of the fire dis trict, the right of condemnation does not apply in this case and that no pipes can be laid without the owners permis- sion.
 Messrs Roraback and Nickerson cited instances where the same question had been decided in Indiana and Oregon also instances in this state. One instance in particular, in the city of Hartford, was cited where committee laid out high way and assessed the damages precisely as the Canaan fire district committed has done in MT. Barlow's case. The fire district attorneys also argued the question from the standpoint of public need and held that the installation of the sewer is absolutely necessary for the preservation of health. They cited the fact that the charter provides the means to be employed by aggrieved parties in securing compensation for damages. If they are dissatisfied with the award made by the district committee, they may. within ten days, apply for the ap- pointment of committee and the duty of this committee, composed of disin- terested parties, shall be to assess dama- ges.
 Judge Case took the matter under con- sideration and will notify the parties concerned when he arrives at conclu- sion. ra.
 In the meantime the work on the sewer continues as it is confidently be- lieved the court will realize that a means of disposing of sewage is abso' lutely indispensable to Canaan, and that, inasmuch as the charter provides a means of relief for aggrieved parties, he will decline to grant permanent injunc- tion.
