 Wanted to Be Away.

The shooting at a moving target was to have taken place first on Nov. IT. Then it was postponed to Nov. 23, but the weather was so bad that it had to be put off again.

Field, cable layer, Gen. Nathaniel Greene, Gen. Robert B. Ayres, Lieut.. gustine-boats assigned for patroling the danger zone and towing targets were in readiness. The water was too rough either for target shooting or navigating in Gardiner's bay.

BuroIa- Clue Was of No Value.

Constable John Reeves was in Put nam this week on the clue suggested by the letter of a Providence woman to the Putram police authorities, ask ing for information about John Gren- non, wounded in that neighborhood. The clue proved to be valueless. for Constable Reeves found that the letter was a week old and was written before the postoffice burglary. so that the woman could not possibly have been inquiring about one of the robbers shot by Constables Reeves. The man de- scribed in the letter was also not of the calibre to make safe breaking ex- pert.
