Some time ago Leavitt arrived at

and applied for a job Mr.. Putnam hired
him and nothing moro was thought OF
Benson until he commenced to cut up
capers. Mr.. Putnam makes a speciality
Of raising fine apple trees, choice pota-
toes. seed corn. etc. Mr.. Putnam found
Leavitt in the seed corn room, where
Leavitt was amusing himself with throw
ing the ears of corn against the wall.
He practised this SO long and SO dligent-
~ that he shelled all the valuable corn.
Mr.. Putnam then became frightened over
. l.eavitts actions and drove hurriedly to
Cambridge. the nearest village, after
Deputy Sheriff Smith. Leavtt raved and
howled, and was taken TO the l.amoille
| county jail In Hyde Park, still bowling
In the jail he screcched all night.
Sheriff Smith then discovered that Mr.
Putnam lived in Westford, not Cam
bridge. and that his residence was but
a short way across the town line. Sc
| Ieavitt was carted to the Chittende,
county jail. In the local jail Friday
| he made lots of noise and many threats

CFrom tho Worcester TelegramD
Hundreds OF letters from farmers In

plots and nothing In the way OF orchards.
or small woodlots such as are common TO
the farms In this part OF the country.
This persistent inquiry from the West
has attracted the attention of men In the
eastern cities and they are applying TO
President Powell for Information as TO
how they can buy farms and make ar
arrangements for such capital as they
have not got to begin the business Of
