NORWICH TOWN MAN
 ADMITS FORGERY AND THEFT.
Picked Up Pay Envelope of Friend Containing Cash and Check-kept Money and Endorsed Check.


 Early Tuesday afternoon William H. Snow was arrested on the charge of theft and forgery, both of which charges he has since admitted. His case will come before the city court this morning. He is a resident of Norwich Town, where he has lived a number of years, and attributes his action to the fact that he had been drinking.
 On Monday Chief Murphy was in- formed that on the previous Saturday Thomas McDermott had gone to the Glen woolen mill to secure his pay. With him went Snow, who boarded at the same house. MT. McDermott re- ceived $20 in money and a check for $2475. Putting both in his coat pock- ct, they took short cut home. There was a hole in McDermott's pocket and the money dropped out as they went along a path. Snow picked it up, it is claimed, and kept the money. The banks were informed of the check and payment was stopped. On Tues day a business man appeared at a bank with the check and was told that payment had been stopped. Chief Murphy was informed of the presenta- tion of the check and sent Policeman Maloney to the business mans store, where he found Mr. Snow waiting. As the proprietor returned and gave over the check to MT. Snow saying that he could not cash it, Policeman Maloney arrested him. Mir Snow had bought some goods and rendered the check in payment, having used Mir. McDer- mott's name in endorsing it.

Next week, according to orders is sued by the adjutant general, the reg ular drills of the Third and Fifth com panies will start for the season. On Tuesday evening the Fifth company will hold it's meeting and on Thursday evening the Third company will meet
 For several days First Lieut.. J. s. Pratt of Fort Monroe, formerly of Fort Mansfield, has been here for the pur- pose of installing some new apparatus furnished by the government for the state armories, and he was detailed by the war department to set it up. Ow- ing to it's failure to arrive here he was unable to do much and the local off cers will have most of it to do. he having given instructions to First Lieutenant Coleman.
 There is now in the equipment here plotting board, Pratt range board, time range board, a defiection board and wind component indicator.
 It is intended to use the headquarters room as the plotting room, 1t being of the right size and convenient and tele- phones with headgear and mouthpieces will be installed soon to run from the floor to the galleries and headquarters room. The primary station will be placed under the center of the gallery where the mouth instrument will be located, while the secondary station will be at the left side under the gal lery in line with the other. There will be thermometers barometers, powder chart and a dummy eight inch gun here soon, they being overdue now This gun will be similar to the guns at Battery Wooster at Fort Mansfield and 1t will be installed at the right hand corner of the armory. It will be equipped with a sub-caliber tube and will fire .22 caliber shot. Everything will be handled as at the fort. All but the breech will be of wood and it will be arranged with hinges to initiate go- ing in and out of battery. There will be rubber mating for the headquarters room to keep it quiet. Probably one out of three or four drill nights will be given over to the use of the apparatus and both companies will use it.
 Lieutenant Pratt is installing this apparatus about the state and left here on Tuesday for Danielson. The work will take two weeks, and from Daniel son he goes to Bridgeport.

VIOLATED GAME LAW.
John Linsky Fined $7 and Costs and
 is Now in Jail Here.

Before Justice Charles A Williams of Salem. Tuesday, John Lnsky was fined $7 and costs, totalling s32.98, for hunting without license. The court waited all day for the mans friends to get together money enough to pay the amount, but they were unsuccess- ful, and he was committed to the jail at Norwich.
 Game Warden Elmer Chadwick and D. l.. Spencer of Salem caught the man in the act last Saturday. It is said 1t could also have been proven that he has hunted on Sundays and also that he has shot songbirds but one charge was thought sufficient to show him the evil of~his ways.
 Linsky is a foreigner and a new conner to Salem. where he hires a farm. It is expected that he will have no trouble in obtaining his liberty in a day or two.
 Warden Chadwick shows himself vigilant in rounding up violators of the game ls<x>

PREPARATORY WORK FOR
 PROPOSED BIBLE COLLEGE
Several Glasses Started in Rooms in
 Mechanic Street.

A much needed and highly appre- ciated gift of books and magazines was received on Monday by Rev. Da- vid w. Cannon, president of the To- cal Bible educational association. It came from Charles H. Haskell for the rooms of the local association in Me chanic street. The building was giv en by Mrs. Fannie Bently during the summer; the rooms are now opened for the public and young men and women, boys and girls. and elders, are invited to take advantage of the opportunities offered.
 A class in systematic study of the English Bible is taught each Friday evening at 8 o'clock. and class in teacher training methods and princi- ples, international Sunday school les sons and missions is conducted by Rev. MT. Cannon. A class in stenog- raphy is being taught by Mrs. H. Gertrude Cannon. on Monday, Tues day and Friday evenings. Other class es will be started as soon as occa- sion demands.
 It is the hope that all young men and women who cannot attend the public and high schools will seize this opportunity and thereby fit themselves for better and higher services. The president would be gratified if some friend would give to the association 8 ton or half-ton of coal to heat the rooms. The local association aims to do in part the preparatory work of the proposed Bible college of New England which is planned to be es- tablished in or near Norwich by next fall, if a suitable location can be se- cured; and final arrangements agreed to between the general association at Philadelphia, and David w Cannon, general superintendent for New Eng land, who is also to be president or the Bible college.
 The local society is doing an ad- mirable work and asks the co-opera- ton of friends.

Above is the outline of the foot ball
schedule including the principal games 10
be played by the Iowa teams next fan.
Not all Of them have been announced as
signed up, but II is a certainty that all
Of them will be played as given in the list
above.
Ames and Drake have signed a five-year
contract for Thanksgiving day. The old
contract stin had q year to run, but the
managers were so fearful that there would
be an agitation against playing on Thangs-
giving day In the near future that the old
contract was ditohed and the new one
made.
Iowa has pleased the state by coming
forward with an offer to meet Drake on
November IL. Drake has accepted and the
contest will take place at Iowa City. This
leaves November 5 for the annual Iowa
Ames game, and there is no doubt but the
contest will come on this day. Nebraska
and Ames will renew relations and the
game will occur on November IL.
The Iowa championship contests will
all come in November next year, which is
pleasing to the Iowa foot ball fans. Iowa
and Ames will meet first; then will come
the Drake-Iowa contest; and last will occur
the Drake-Ames battle. The teams will
nave an excellent chance to show how
strong they are next year.
