The Ellis quarry was shut down Satur-

is given as the reason. The quarry has
been running on short complement OF

about forty men, including quarrymen,

are leaving town. Some of the Italians
have taken the opportunity to visit their
homes in Italy and others have gone to

1t is understood that the grand jury at
Woodstock last week found true bills for
murder in the second degree against

and Julius Menck. The first four named
are now in Woodstock jail. Joseph
Gatschiff and Julius Menck left town
the next day after the ARRAY and their
whereabouts are unknown. No bill was
found against Frank Millman. The
trial will probably not come on until
next week.
One of the quietest July Fourths ever
seen in this village was that of 1908. or
course there was considerable gunpowder
and other patriotic noise, but the wanton
destruction and injury of property was
not in evidence. The selectmen appoint
ed F. Scott Blossom special constable,
and Mr.. Blossom, with Special Constab BILE
Putnam and Deputy Sheriff Cushman,
held full command of the situation. The
most serious injury suffered was that to
the hand of Sam Panare, a Finn en-
ployed in the tannery and living over the
Upper & Graham store. Mr.. Panare
held cannon firecracker in his hand
while it exploded. The flesh was badly
torn from the right hand and his right
thumb split by the force of the explo-
sion. DR.. o. V. Greene was summoned
and sewed up the wound. This was q
very painful operation and was under
gone by the patient without the use OF
