protested against the removal of the

In his affidavit Maury names a
score of we'll known Butte citizens

of Montana as to the selection Of
juries it is impossible to obtain a fair

Aside from her ineXperience in trav-

RAILROAD POSTAL SERVICE.
Present Inconvenience Between Put
nam and Norwich Should Be Rem
edied,

Towns along the line between Nor
wich and Putnam would like a better
railroad postal service. They want
an additional railroad postal clerk to
make round trip on one north bound
and one south bound train that now
carry only closed pouches.
Under the present service important
letters are delayed in transmission
and the condition is such as to cause
no little Inconvenience.
After eight o'clock in the morning
and up to six o'clock in the evening,
any letter that goes south out of Put
nam Cor from as far north as Worces-
ter, for that matter), over the Nor
witch branch of the Midland division,
goes out in a closed pouch. There is
no clerk on either the train that gets
into Putnam from Worcester at 1890
a. m, nor on the one that gets into
the city from the south at the same
time. Both these trains carry closed
pouches, but such a service has come
to be considered inadequate. The
train due in Putnam from the south
at six o'clock D. M, is also without
a postal clerk and brings only closed
pouch mail
The inconvenience arising from this
condition could be easily overcome by
putting on another clerk and it is
believed such q concession could be
secured from the postoffice depart
ment by filing petition bearing a
sufficient number of signatures from
persons in the interested towns. At
present, two postal clerks are hand
ling all the mail business except that
in closed pouches that goes over the
Norwich division.

JEwETT CITY BLANkED PUTNAM
Home Team in the Air in First Inn
ing and Visitors Score Seven Runs
"A Game of Errors.

Putnam slipped aturday-sIipped
up with both feet and slid to the very
limit of poor ball playing. The team
has occasionally slipped before, but
never like this time-never altogether,
all in a row. Jewett City TO- Putnam
0, was the score, and it was no Won
der the fans asking for results of the
game over the telephone could hardly
believe the score, but there was a rea-
son.
There never was such balloon as
cension on the ball grounds since
they have been used for playing the
national game as Putnam took in the
very first inning of the game. Be
fore the team got back to earth and
retired their first three men, seven
runs and seven errors had been cha~"-
ed up against them and the game lost
beyond hope of recovery. Carroll, first
up for Jewett City, hit a long high
one to Marion-the first ball pitched
in the game-and Marion dropped it.
Such a case of nerves as followed sell
dom falls to the lot of a ball team.
Everybody around the left side of the
infieid went up in the air. Labelle
and Gagne made some frightful mis-
cues and about every one they made
cost a run. Wild throws and missed
trys to get little rollers were some of
the sacrileges of the game that they
committed. The Jewetts ran around
the bases until seven big runs had
been hung up for their side and the
fact established that they were the
real thing in the way of leaders in
the race for the flag. 50 -<.I ,-
More than 500 people saw theI game
and about $50 of them sat nlouisnfully
on the bleachers as quiet as a collec-
ton of penguins. Meanwhile the roy
al frenzied rooters of the town from
i. III lit y,
sizzle around their end of the field
and what they did not think of in the
way of saying encouraging things to
the men on their team is not iniGthe
book. They had a great time and
gave a real good exhibition of what
enthusiasm means. Nor did this spirit
die with the game. Long after the
playing was over they were still cell
ebrating the biggest and most decis-
i've win they have made this season.
After that terrible first inning the
game was a good one. but the interest
had been killed. Barnicle was on
the firing line for Putnam and for
Jewett City Rathburn was on the rub
ber Rathburn would look a familiar
sight in the towns around the state
league circuit and he is one pitcher
as good as ever came into this league.
Only four hits were made off his de-
livery and Reach got three of those.
The other one went to I.izotte and
came very near to giving Putnam the
| only run they had a chance to get in
all the game. Pop" Williams made
a beautiful return of the hit from
right field, however, and Robertson
nailed Reach at the plate. All of the
heavy hitters of Putnam were famed
by the visiting box artist and he fin
ished with IL strikeouts to his credit.
Barnic1e was touched for eight safe
ones, but he pitched a better game
than is indicated in the score, and his
chance to win was killed by the host
of errors behind him.
