HIS WORK IS ENDED

It is with regret that the Editor of THE NEWS records the death of Dr. Robert Gordon Leverty of Bridgeport, whom he knew well in years gone by as a bright young physician with wide cir cle of friends. He was only 37 when pneumonia claimed him on May 27, last. When he was located at the Bridgeport emergency hospital as attendant physi- clan. the present Editor of THE NEWS, then on the staff of Bridgeport news paper, found Dr. Leyerty always a cour- teous, affable gentleman, ready to give to the newspaper boys all the aid possi- ble in running down some of the good stories that came his way. One night in jocose mood Doc. Leverty remarked. "You fellows are always on the alert for stories. suppose some day you'll be writing up my death." I replied, well Doc ii that time ever comes, we'll try to do you justice" Strange are the mys- teries of fate, that this'w should see the fulfllment of Doc Leyerty's pro- phecy.
 A brighter yoang physician and sur geon never held scalpel, in the city of Bridgeport, nor one more genial or whole-souled. Every newspaper man liked him. He was their friend. There was nothing stuck up about him. He knew 8 news story when he saw it, and gave the boys the facts. As physician he understood his business; as a friend he was steadfast, firm and true. Those of us who knew him best, will miss him most. A kind personality has been plotted out. A big hearted generous man crossed the great divide, when Doc" Leverty died. Peace to his ashes, and may his reward be that crown immortal for which poor humanity strives.

SCHOOL
 JANITOR ROBBED.
A Pocketbook Containing Several $5 Bills Stolen Empty Wallet Found.
 Cast Aside.

When Robert Bailey had his lively spr1nting match with husky Sheriff Rhoades and posse on a go-as-you- please match for that part of the Massachusetts state line, designated as Clayton, there was with him friend who later met him at the store in Clayton, after he had won foot raco with the Canaan posse. Shortly before Bailey's arrest, one of these men was seen to throw something down near the store steps Later, one who had witnessed the act, thinking it odd that this was done, set out to investigate.
 Empty Wallet Found
 He found that the article cast aside was a pocketbook, bearing on it the name of one believed to have been its owner, and the address, Hotchkiss school. Later an investigation was started which has led to the wallet being located as the property of Fred Bailey, janitor at the Hotchkiss school.
 The wallet was shown to him and was fully identified as one that had been stolen from him recently, At the time of the theft, he claims, there were in it several five dollar bills and a few one dollar bills. When the wallet was found, after it had been cast aside, there was nothing in it. The presumption is that the money had been stolen and the wallet thrown away, lest it might later cad to the detection of the thief. The matter is to be fully investigated.

DON'T KICK; HELP PULL.

Don't be knocker. If anything goes wrong in the village, do all that you can in square and honorable way to set it right but don't stand back and criticise. Remember that to err is human. That man does not live but makes mistakes, and when a man or a woman has learned to profit by their mistakes, life for them is the better and oftimes the sweeter.
 Ours IS a beautiful village. It may not be the kingdAm of Heaven, but it is not far from paradise, and if you want it to be in reality your paradise, and measure up to the exacting standard you would like to see. remember that part of the responsibility for such measure ments rests upon you as & citizen and home lover.
 That man who is forever knocking his home town is usually; the sour and grabbed fellow who has made a failure of everything he ever attempted, and feels sore because others have not done likewise. By nature he is the most miserable of Gods creation-a confirmed pessimist. Tell him of the beauties of nature and he sees some flaw in it. Speak to him of another mans upright ness of character or goodness of heart, and he immediately quotes something to that man 8 disadvantage or detriment. The fewer such people you have in a community the better.
 Boom your town. Say all the good things you can about it, to all the people you can, and give them to understand that you are proud of this little gem, nestling among the hills and glowing in the sunlight of the valley By so doing you will do some good in the world and make the town you live in the better for your having lived in it.

Electric Lights
 To be Installed At the Canaan Railroad
 Station.

Approaches to be Improved by Grano-
 lithic Walks...Main Platform Will be
 Lowered Eight Inches and that at
 the South End Will be Raised SO as
 to Correspond.
 Canaan depot is to have electric lights. They will be of incandescent pattern and will be bountifully supplied both for interior and exterior illumination.
 Local Company to Provide Power
 Estimates for the electric lighting have been received and accepted. The cur rent will be furnished by the Berkshire Power O., who will also do the wiring and generally attend to the introduction of the needful equipment.
 Platform Improvements
 The station platform is to be lowered eight inches, and the present low plat form, at the southern end, is to be raised eight inches above the rails, so that bag gage trucks can be used at that end to transfer baggage to and from cars, there by making a great improvement over the present method, which prevents the use of the truck at that end of the plat form. These improvements are to be carried into effect at an early day.
 Good Approaches to be Made
 For sometime the approaches to the station have been regarded as any thing but desirable for town of this size and it has finally planned how this may be remedied, and the work will be taken in hand with the other depot improve ments.
 GrAnoIithic Walk Will be Laid
 A granolithic walk will be laid from Main street to the north end of the sta tion platform, from six to eight feet in width. To do this to advantage, the box near the gates on the west side of the railroad tracks will be cut down and the walk will thus have ample width at that point.
 This will give a good approach to the station, something 1t has always lacked. When these contemplated improvements are completed. Canaan will have a rail. road station that will be in the fullest sense up to date.

 NrrHlne' weight champion of the world, knocked out Jim Smith of New York with a right swing to the jaw in the fifth round of a scheduled ten round bout at the National Sport ing Club of America, in New York. Smith was outclassed, but despite the fact he made a most remarkable show ing, outpointing Ketchel in the first round, solving the open defense of the champion in apparently easy fashion.
 Jack Crwin) Sullivan of Cambridge, Mass, the oldest member of the fight ing Sullivans, earned a hard fought decision from Jim Stewart, the Brook lyn heavyweight, in ten round bout at the Fairmount Athletic club in New York. The Brooklyn fighter was fully thirty pounds heavier than Sullivan, but the Boston boxer resorted to all his ring trickery, which offset Stew arts advantage in weight.
 J. w. Coffroth, the California fight promoter, signed with managers for Sam Langford and Stanley Ketchel for a fight of not less than twenty-five rounds to be fought on July at Colma, Gal. The fight is on the basis of GO per cent to the winner and 40 per cent to the loser, with a guarantee of $30,0o0.

 A Cartagena judge ordered William B. MacMaster, American vice consul in Bogota, Colombia, arrested on the charge of having some years ago shot a Colombian citizen. The charge, it is believed, is the outcome of enmity against MT. MacMaster, due to his pressing cases against two Colombians who stabbed him in August last year. To a threat made by General Rivas of the Madriz forces holding Bluefields bluff, Nicaragua, that he would stop by force any vessel of whatever na- tionality entering the harbor, General Hines, commanding the American gun boat Dubuque, said that at the first shot fired against the American flag he would level the bluff.

The matter came up a previous

published, nothing was done. Yester-
day it was taken mp again. The Corn
well Ranch was the applicant for the
lease. offering to pay an annual rental
Of Len gents an acre aud asking lease
of twenty-one years.
As Trent had previously expressed
himself as being opposed to leasing the
tract as whole and had wanted to
cut il up into 1000-acre tracts. Andrade
moved as compromise that the tract
be subdivided into 20O0-acre tracts and
leased as previously proposed.

Aside from this the most important
