eerning these women who have braved

domestic difficulties. The little town
that, when 5000 persons are in il, is
crowded is filled with hundreds more

can see scores of beautiful women
whose very carriage and bearing mark
them at once as members of some
of our haughtiest and most exclusive
families, women who have graced
some of the most exclusive social
functions in our large cities and abroad
brushing shoulders with rough min
ers or farmers who make up Reno-s
natural population. Some. in the sum-
mer season. vainly try to escape the
awful ennui of the long wait by
dashing madly and headlong into the
few gayeties that the place affords
And. even though the weather man.
within month OF the outset of the
next winter season, should prophesy
that a repetition of the bIizzards of the
winter of 1910 would take place. the
result would be the same. Just as big

will fill the houses and hotels. Just
as long as Nevada's divorce laws are
so lenient just as long as it is really

mated pairs continue.
The divorce seekers may return to

CHASE PROPERTY.
PurcF1 ased from Mrs. Chase by J. Ar
 thur Atwood of Wauregan.

It was announced Saturday that J. Arthur Atwood of Wauregan has pur- chased the property and ice business of A. A. Chase at Quinebaug lake. The sale includes the ice houses, ice tools and machinery, and all other equip ment that MT. Chase used to carry on his business. Mir Atwood's purchase includes the dwelling house occupiel by the Chase family This is the property which MT. Atwood desired to purchase a short time ago, but no agreement could be reached.
 Mrs Chase said Saturday that she was reluctant to sell the property, as a. good, paying ice business had been built up, but that she was unable to carry 1t on in the absence of her hus- band, who went west a few weeks ago. Mrs Chase has not yet definitely de- cided whether she will make her home in DanieFson or in Providence.
 Excepting that taken out by farm CTS living in the vicinity, no ice has been cut at the lake this winter. There is an excellent opportunity to get a good crop, however, as the ice Is from ten to twelve inches thick and of very good quality. MT. Atwood will not engage in the ice business, probably leasing the privilege of the lake and houses.

FORT WRIGHT SOLDIERS

Discharged by courtmartiai After
 Twelve Had Been Heard.

Wright on Fishers island, charg- ed with mutiny, were liberated with out any punishment or even a fine, been in session for the last few days, adjourned abruptly Thursday morning after hearing the testimony Of only about twelve of the accused men. As soon as the soldiers left the court room the enlisted men in the post started to cheer, and the summary conclusion of the trial was followed by celebra- ton.
 The courts action was followed by the announcement that orders had been issued for & courtmartial at Governors Island next Tuesday. The trial is to be conducted by an officer of not lower rank than major. from which 1t is inferred that a captain is to be tried.
 Col. W. T. Wood. the inspector gen eTa who GsS gss sent fT9m %o9s pe gently, to investigate the mutiny, made a hurried trip to Washington few days ago. He returned to his post Wednesday night. but refused to say martial of one of the officers.

STAFFORD SPRINGS
Marrow Looms to Be Moved from For estviIIe to Borough-Drifts Too Much for Rural Carriers.

T. F. Mullen & Go. have hired the rooms occupied by St. Jean Baptiste society on Westford avenue and will move the narrow looms of their For estville plant there. They believe that it will be easier to secure help in the borough than where they now are. The work of moving the looms will begin at once. The society will probably move into the Rockwell block on Main street.
 On account of the heavy storm not any of the three rural mail carriers were able to make the trip Saturday morning. All started out, but were obliged to return on account of the drifts after having gone a short dis tance. The snow in some places is much deeper than that of the Christ mas storm.
 The copartnership of McCrohan & Reynolds has been dissolved.
 Employees at the Central mill have been having vacation the past few days on account of a break in the en- zine.

Danielson people sized up the storm which whanged away for more than thirty hours before 1t emptied the ven- om of the northeaster on this weather beaten section. That January thaw will surely have something to work on when it arrivesl Between ten and twelve inches more of snow came along on the wings of the gale of Fri day and Saturday That amount was sifted and swirled in much the same manner as was the Christmas storm, but not quite as badly. The promise for this time is good sleighing and a lesser tieup of traffic. Even the man who begins T remember when," is willing to admit that there may be a little real winter this year. Under the heavy blanket of snow is heavy coating of ice. This insures wearing quality for the pretty top dressing and the enduring of rough conditions out of doors.

DODGE MINING co.

 Do Something for Investors.

Local stockholders are watching closely the process of adjusting the affairs of the Dodge Mining and Mill ing company, with a gold mine at Lisbon, N. H. The manageme rent of the affairs of the company has not been entirely satisfactory to the stock holders and dividends have failed to materialize. A meeting of the stock holders was held in Providence the past week and the result is expected to bring more satisfactory results to those who have put money into the pany which bought some of the ma chinery that had been in use at the gold mine in Foster, R. l. Danielson men bought stock when the price was ten cents a share. Since that time it has been quoted as high as fifty cents, but it's present value is uncertain. Some of the local investors are of the opinion that the investment will prove to be a paying one in time, while others are of an opposite mind. Thou sands of the shares of the company are held in Danielson, Willimantic, Taftville and other places mostly by French Canadian residents. Stanis- the president of the company. Fail ure to achieve paying results up to the present time has caused some of the local stockholders to become dis couraged and induced them to sell out their holdings at a loss; others, how ever, are holding on in the hope that the mine will eventually pay.

 Were Heard at Putnam.

A new spring was attached to the steam siren at the mill of the Daniel son Cotton company Saturday, and it is expected that the accidental blow ing of the fire alarm signal which has become a regular happening. will be overcome. The whistle got going about 10.30 Friday evening when the storm was at~its worst and for a min ute after it started to blow the fire men were on edge to know whether it was for a fire or fake The alarm sounded one steady blast for about ten minutes and then kept quiet until about 435 Saturday morning, when 1t blew off again. The firemen did not go out, as they realized no box num- Der was being blown, but nearly every one in town who has a telephone called at the central office to find out where the fire was. One call was also re- ceived from Putnam, where the sound of the whistle was heard and recog- nized. There was no trouble with the fire alarm telegraph system. as was shown by test of the circuits.

R. F. D. Carriers Rose and Frazier of routes and 8 and Letter Carrier Frank Sterry started from the Nor wich Town station two hours late on Saturday morning. as the 5.3o train did not reach here till s.3o a. m.
 MT. Frazier found his route open as far as T B. Lilnbridge's. where a force of men was breaking through the drifts. From there he went through the lots to W. B. Wilcox's in order to avoid high drifts. He found a milk man fast in a drift with a whifietree broken. The Lawler road connecting the Scotland road with the Canter- bury turnpike was banked in with snow. so that MT. Frazier returned to Norwich Town, unable to finish his route.
 High drifts had to be broken through on Plain Hill. On Wauwecus Hill some parts of the road were wind swept. others. badly drifted. Pendleton.
