HIS TOMBSTONE SENT
IN BALE OF HAY
Special to The herald.

Special to The Herald,
GREENWICH, Conn, March 15,-
Thomas Newton, proprietor of q Rro-
Gerry In Greenwich and q valuable stock
farm near this town, answered an
emergency call to the farm. one Of
his stablemen had nonchalantly tilted
bale of hay out Of q freight car to
his back, thinking to carry It to one
Of the Newton wagons for transpor-
tation to the farm, as he had carried
many others.
When this bale tumbled on the mans
back he went down fiat and his COM
panions had to pry the weight off his
prostrate form. They regarded 1t with
almost superstitious wonder as they
carried 1t to the farm and the WISE
acre Of their number told them It was
plain to him that the grass It repre-
sented had been grown on top of q
lead mine and become impregnated
with the metal and they would all be
wealthy If they could locate the place.
Mr.. Newton's investigation disclosed
that the bale contained no lead, but
only a tombstone marked "R. b." 1t
was shipped by the firm of OHara e.
Sellen, Moravia, Cayuga county N. Y,
and they were asked to trace It.
Mr.. OHara married q cousin of John
ID. Rockefeller and the head of the
Standard Oil company was born in
Cayuga county. O'Hara pursued his
researches until he found that the hay
originally came from the farm of an
elderly, prosperous and very irasoible
agriculturist. This man was so
wrought up by the discovery that the
last mile post of one of his ancestors
had been used, probably as a joke,
by one of his employers to make
weight for horse feed that his entire
establishment was plunged into a
panic, whose chief Characteristic was
terrified silence.
So the mystery is unexplained and
Mr.. Newton still has the tombstone.
1t reposes on a counter of his grocery
and all the oldest inhabitants of Green
wich are straining their wits to excel
in relating similar experiences out of
their memories or invention.

COUPLE DELAYS BANQUET
WHILE PREACHER TIES KNOT

Banquets or no banquets, young peo-
pie will get married when they make
up their minds to 1t, as was proven
last night at the Angelus hotel. The
Baraca boys of the First Methodist
church and their girl friends enjoyed
banquet last night. They were all
gathered In the reception room above
stairs awaiting a signal from DR.. Rob-
ert Mcintyre, when an automobile
dashed up to the side door of the hotel
land man and a maid, both of them
very much in a hurry, rushed up the
stairs and told the doctor they wanted
to get married.
1--WE went to your house first and they
told us you had gone to the banquet, Sc
marry us right away?" said both OF
them in the same breath.
Now the doctor never declines to be
an aid to Hymen when Cupid has prop
erly begun his work and the marriage
license clerk has given his sanction, Sc
he turned to the hungry young people
and asked them to delay the banquet
just few minutes and he would be
with them. He went to Chief Clerk
Tuttle and told the story to him.
II want to use one of your parlors for
a few minutes to unite a couple of
young people in matrimony," he said
and as 1t has not been so very long
since Mr.. Tuttle was married he made
haste to help the good work along.
In less time than 1t takes a woman to
change her mind Miss Emma P. Butler
became the bride of Raymond L. Nor
riS. The automobile was again started
on its journey and DR.. Mcintyre was
announcing that the banquet was
awaiting the guests, and leading the
way to the board.
The banquet, interrupted In the be-
ginning, went on to delightful conclu-
sion last night.
The affair was the annual dinner of
the members of the Baraca class and
covers were laid for seventy-five.
The tables were decorated with red
carnations and asparagus ferns and
menu cards were ornamented with pur-
pie and gold and tied with purple rib
bon. After the discussion of the menu
DR.. H, w. Brodbeck, the toastmaster,
introduced the speakers Of the evening.

raca classes, and DR., Mcintyre finished
the evening with an address, "And
