with the brotherhood of Trainmen. De-
spite this fact the D., L. q w. has

he did not see Nesler sign the docu-

witness was Mrs. E. A.. Schaef, now

the caveats, alleging that the will Is

Hardly had these papers been pre-
pared when James c Yioren, a half

Waterbury evening Democrat., 1908-10-24
THE ELKs BIG BAZAAR

The one great reason why the Waterbury lodge of Elks appointed a committee to arrange for fair this year. was that before another year rolls around the members will be housed in new quarters and it was thought 1t fitting to wind up their. home in the old quarters with all the ceremonies attendant upon such an entertainment. To that end the committee began it's work and so far that work has been well done. It will be an elaborate affair, more so than ever before and thousands of dollars will be spent in order to surpass any event ever given by any lodge of Elks in the state. So elab- crate will it be that almost every ledge of Elks in the state has sig nified its intention of being present on some night during the fair. It is a little early as yet to speak of the entertainment that will be pro- vided for the patrons of the fair but 1t is not too early to remind the pub lie, say the committee, that every member has in his possessions some thing which the public should im- mediately secure. They are cards of admission to the treasure house and when you are once admitted,
