DEAD MANS IDENTITY.
May Be Established Through Facts
 Gained from Local Syrian.

There is hope that the man found dead near East Killingly on Wednes- day afternoon may be identified. It has been learned that the man stayed in Danielson on Monday evening with a Syrian family on Water street. One of the male members of the family where he stayed has viewed the body and identified him as the man given a lodging in his home. but he does not know his name. He says, however. that the dead man was a mill worker, an Englishman. and that his home is probably in Fall River. IL is believed that the man at least may have rela- tives in the city mentioned and tn- quiry was made there Friday after noon in an endeavor to establish that fact.

Hunger, Cold and Fatigue Have Their
 Effect on George B. Gordon.

George B. Gordon, 23, one of Un- cle Sam's sailors, off the training ship Cumberland. stationed at Newport, spent Thursday in a cell in the local police station awaiting some one to come and take him back to his nice warm berth. which he left without leave on last Sunday. Gordon ran in- to such rough weather since he got ashore that life on good staunch ship in a snug harbor looks better to him now than it did. He surrendered him. self to Chief Filling and asked that officer to notify Newport that he was ready to come home.
 Gordon and two companions were given shore leave for about five hours on Sunday, but they drank freely ashore and decided not to go back. They went from Newport to Fall Riv- CT and from that city to Providence. There Gordon sold his uniform and
 after sleeping in boiler houses and
 wherever else he would be let, he took to the highway and walked to Daniel
 son. He arrived here very much sub
 dued after his forty-mile hike. He
 was cold. hungry, tired and very much
 disappointed. He told Chief Filling that he had not had anything to eat on the entire trip from Providence. be- ing at least too proud to beg. He is a cleau-cut youngster and says his home is in Michigan City, North Da-
 kota. He has relatives there, but left them nine months ago to try life ir the navy. which is not so bad, he says Gordon is now wearing an old coal and sweater and an abbreviated pail | of blue overalls. He looks the par | of a horse rake sailor. Gordon say: | he is sure to lose three months pay | and to get a. good going-over beside: | when he gets back to Newport. Notes.

east side approximately AS by 55 feet. A terraced series of broad granite steps lead to the main entrance. Four great colonial columns of Indiana lime- stone. "A feet in height, three feet in diameter, each a solid, single section. weighing several tons support a beau tiful facade artistically carved in scroll designs. the center of which will be occupied by an illuminated circu- lar clock face. The bases on which the columns rest and their capitols are hand-carved, to. harmonize with the immediate exterior. The cornioe Is of marbleine and galvanized iron and the roof has a covering of slate.
 A Beautiful Interior.
 As an introduction to the rich in- terior finish, the main vestfbule pre- sents an accurate forecast. It has . floor of terrazo and a dado of delicate ly tinted marble. The vestibule opens into a broad corridor extending the en- tire width of the building. from fhich access may be gained to all the rooms on the main floor and from which stairways lead, at each end, to q simi- lar corridor on the floor above. Six teen pilasters and an equal number of fluted columns in stucco are used in these corridors, ranged in eights on each side, their immaculate wilderness producing a striking contract against the mahogany dado and dark terrazo floor.
 A lavish use is made of stucco work throughout the building. Chartered and plain oak, maple, mahogany and white wood also enter into the interior finish.
 The Main Floor.
 The main floor provides two class rooms, two recitation rooms. a teach ers' room, masters private offlce, mas ter's public office and the main study room, A by 53, the last named in the wing at the east side of the building.
 Second Floor.
 On the second floor are four class rooms, the assembly hall and the Tourtellotte memorial room.
 The Memorial Room.
 The memorial room, AZ by 21, is the most beautiful in the building. The terrazo floor is surmounted by a mar ble base. above which is a mahogany wainscotting seven feet deep. The paneled walls, rising to a domed cell ing, are done in tinted greens. When completed the room will contain rare examples of mosaic work and a valua- ble collection of paintings and statu- ary gathered by MT. and Mrs. Tour tellotte of Minneapolis, donors of the building, during their tours of Europe,
 Assembly Room.
 Seating arrangement for 400 persons can be provided in the assembly hall which Is of the same size as the main

be provided. Granolithic floors are used throughout the basement, which Is subdivided into cloak rooms, lockers, sanatories, space for the heating sp- paratus. etc. In the school rooms the floors are of maple.
 Elegantly Equipped.
 All stairways in the building are of iron and have tsrrazo treads. The lighting, ventilating and heating Bys tems are the most modern devised. A spiral staired Ire escape is accessible from all floors.
 Seventeen firms hold contracts for work on the building, which it is ex- pected will be completed before the opening of the next school year. While the exterior Is completed except in mi- nor details. the interior 10 still hive of industry where a mingling of for eign tongues is heard as the artists carve and decorate.
 To Cost sfoo,ooo.
 The cost of the building, which win accommodate 200 students, will be well above t100.o00. Its equipment will be as complete as any high school in the state.
 An electric programme clock sys- tenn and a telephone system is being installed. all to connect with the mas ter's office. The equipment will be pro- vided by the donors and the building when turned over to the town of Thompson will be ready for occupan- cy. A liberal endowment is also pro- vided.
 Mr. Anden in Charge.
 c. s. Andem, agent of the GroE- venordale company, has full supervis- lon of the construction. at the request of Mir. and Mrs Tourtellotte, who give the building in memory of their daughters. Fourteen acres, given by the Grosvenordale company. are ina cluded In the site of the Achool.
 A Handsome Approach.
 A crescent shaped drive, the points of which are 1900 feet apart. leads up the steep hill from each side to the school. Great gateways of grey press ed brick and Indiana limestone trim mings have been built at the points of the crescent and later along the 1900 feet front of the grounds, a wall of the same materials is to be built. The grounds are also to be beautified.
 In the possession of such a property the citizens of Thompson may be par donably proud; and to those who are privileged to enjoy its benefits 1t must prove an inspiration to greater efforts in pursuit of knowledge.

 Mysterious Beast Again Reported.
 That mysterious animal that has been described at different times as panther, a wolf and bear. and may be somebody's big rowing dog is again reported as seen in the woods east of Danielson. The yarn has been so frequently repeated as to cause the belief among some timid people that a wild beast Is roaming at large in the vicinity. Whether the story be true or otherwise, this skulking terror Is sem dble enough not to make It's appear ance to anyone carrying a gun. He always Is seen under conditions favor able to speedy and safe escape.
