 Mrs. Taylor told the police that an she was walking along the street. neas her home, accompanied by her daugh- ter, Miss Grace Taylor, she heard tho footsteps of some one coming on behind her. The daughter had just turned to enter their home when . man ieapod forward and snatchcd her handbag from her wrist, and ran though near by lane. Overcome by surprise, Nm. Taylor did not give any immediate alarm, and the fellow was able to eu- cape.
 On sunday the handbag was found q short distance from the site of the robbery, and in il the little purse, but empty. Later in the day two one-doI- lar bills were also picked up, evidently dropped by the thief in his anxiety to escape.

futnam's continued prosperity is the erection of more tirsi.elass dwellings this spring and the passed six months, than in the same period during the past thirty years, In addition, we are enabled to announce on the best ot au- thority, that besides the manufacture ing concerned mentioned two weeks ago, with capital of sao, ,eoo, soon to be located In this city, another and an equally large concern, will tn all pro- hability soon he doing business here.
 The factory of the Novely Compa- ny. the foundations of which were laid two years ago, near the Foundry, is now to be built, the contract for which has been given to the Wheaton Building and Lumber Corporation, and work was begun Monday and will be hurried to completion and finished pro bably within two months. The work was suspended in the 1907 business de precision. This will make third large industrial: concern that promises to be in operation shortly, to increase the business prosperity of our city.
 As We have befor remarked, Put nam, like healthy boy in a family, grows to large dimensions without ai. tracting notice unless some incident oc- CUTS to indicate the change In growth.
 It is mol alene in size and business the city has developed. It's social ad- saneement cannot be demonstrated hy material evidence. like its growth in size. But no one who has lived in the city for the past twenty-five years but notices an elevation in the tastes and styles of its city, The better adorn. ment of their homes and surroundings K one indication that iis citizens are influenced by their new environment; they are not on such familiar terms with all people as they were at the pe- riod indicated--when no one was e stranger, who lived here, to any resident. Now one meets in the crowded busi- ness and residential streets scores daily who are total strangers to him. It Is the natural order of the growth Of n city that It's residents get separated in- to classes, without causing any reflec. ton on any one. lt is only necessi- ty that it should be 90, but k bene- 1t, as It elevates and insptres all class es to live their best, and to have their environments made to assist in inspir- ing higher and nobier influences on themselves and the community.
 Thus, scientifically, Putnam Is being made more desirable place for the better and more desirable kind Of peo- pie.

Mrs. ,,..a s..ssy Fatally Burned.


 Mrs. Alvan Bussey, of Norwich, for many years resident of this city, was fatally burned on Monday evening, at the home of her son, Walter Bussey, of that city. The following account we take from the Norwich Bulletin:
 Mrs. Alvan Bussey was fatally burn- ed Monday evening caused by the tip- ping over of a kerosene lamp. Her clothing caught fire, and she was burn- ed from head to foot, as it WAS some time before the flames could be cxtin- guished. Sine ran into the street . mass of lire. After the neighbors quenched the flames she was taken to the Backus Hospital, where she died about o'clock Tuesday morning.
 Mrs. Bussey had been staying at the home of her son for the past few weeks, having just recovered from . fit of sickness, and intended going home on that day. Tn the evening she WAS with her two grandchildren while Mir. and Mrs. Walter Bussey went to the thea- ter. Villa, the older, aged $, had gone to bed, and Natalie, aged ., came up stairs. In some manner the child over turned the lamp, and the blazing kero- sene set fire to the carpet, the wood- work and Mrs. Bussey's clothing. She tried to estinguish the flames, but was forced to run downstsirs and out into the street increasing the flames and set. ting number of places on fire as she ran. Two women in the house tried to quenuh the fire, but failed, and Mrs. Bussey ran out to the street, all afianie and screaming in agony, and fell. The neighbors hastened to her assistance and threw mats upon her and snoth- cred the flames. Others rushed Into the house and got the children out safe ly.
 The alarm of fire soon brongh the firemen and the fire in the house was soon put out without much damage.
 Mrs. Bussy, her clothes all burned, was taken into the house of neighbof and physicians summoned, who did all they could to relieve the poor sufferers agony, but 1t was useless, and she was taken to the hospital, where she died after few hours.
 Mrs. Busscy is survived by her hus- band, two sons, Walter ]. and James w. Bussey, of this city, sister, Mrs. If. ID. RaIIion, and two brothen-Ed- ward cfoeker, of Washington, and Charles D. cBocker, of Hartford.
 Mir. Bussey and sons have the heart felt sympathy Of | large circle Of friends and acquaintances in this city.

IOO-STAMP MILL
FOR LANDER CO.

NJ c. Scully, the mine operator
and promoter, leaves this morning
for Montreal, Canada, where he has
interested a number of the most
conservative investors of that city
in a project that is of tremendous
importance to the people of Lam
der county. This is nothing less
than a deposit of free gold quartz
that in places is strong enough to
dazzle the eye. The ledge is said
to be 500 feet wide and has been
traced for 1000 feet. Portions of
this are so impregnated with gold
that the stuff can be picked out
with knife, with values running
up into the pictures. The lowest
assay clear across is IS and from
that up to $4,000, scraped off the
face of the ledge. The footwall is
porphyry and the hanging wall is
quartzite.
The location is south of Beowawe,
about forty-five miles in a rough
country, and the promoters think so
highly of the venture that they are
arranging for a 100 stamp mill for
immediate construction at the mine.
At present there is nothing more
than a group of shacks, Occupied by
a few Swedish sheep herders, who
made the original location. A pow
er company will also be organized
with supply of water within easy
reach. The electric line will be 25
miles long SO that the juice can be
supplied at low rate.
Mr.. Scully is so enthusiastic over
the prospect that he predicts the
erection of 500 stamp mill before
no distant day. He carries speci-
mems that cause the eye to bulge,
and he has exploited the ground to
establish the fact that he has not
picked up rich surface deposit.
The company that will operate the
plant will have ample capital, as it
is incorporated for $5,O00,OO0. On
the present trip Mr.. Scully expects
to be absent for thirty days, and
says that when he returns it will
be with orders to hasten the COM
pletion of the proposed mill as fast
as men and money can do it
