WORTHLESS CHECKS
PASSED IN NEW LONDON.
Frank r. Cornell, Formerly of This
City, One of Several to Get Stung.

Frank r. Cornell, druggist, formerly
of this city, with a store in Broad
street, New London, was duped by a
bad check Wednesday night, and the
man described by the druggist is the
same one who passed bogus checks on
the Hartford Delicatessen company and
Charles J. Ducy. James Kanure also
have been a victim had he wished.
Ducie entered the saloon of c. j..
Ducy and after making himself ac
quainted with the bartender asked to
have a check cashed. He presented a
check drawn by C. R. McNally and
payable to c. Ducie. Like the one
presented at the de1icatessen store the
amount was $1,000. Mr.. Ducy found
out Thursday night that the check was
no good.
After a visit to the saloon. c. Ducie
went up Broad street to the drug store
He bargained for a syringe found one
he liked and presented the check.
There was not enough small change to
balance the price of goods purchased
and the amount of the chez. Mr.. Cor
nell Endorsed the check, took it to w
II. Slocum's grocery and got cash for
1T. Like the other two checks, the last
one was drawn for the amount of
$1,000 and was identical with the one
cashed at the deHcatessen store.
The young man wore a fine, long,
light colored overcoat which must have
been an expensive garment. He was
81 or % years of age and stout build.
That the fugitive was out of reach be-
fore the matter of bad checks was re-
pressed by policemen Friday. Patrol
man Beebe, who has had charge of the
case, had no reason Friday to believe
the forger would be caught

MUCH MONEY CHANGED
HANDS AT COCkFIGHT.
Massachusetts Birds Won, the Battles
Being in a Vacant Waterford House.

There were present about $50 at the
Icockfght in Waterford Friday morn
ing. The admission fee was 81. The
place in which the battles We're fought
was in an unoccupied house just be-
yond the Spithead district, recently
vacated by the owner. Automobiles
and carriages whirled the sports to the
scene of the main. 1t was after mid
night when the first battle was fought
and it was very nearly o'clock when
the last fight was over.
The main was for the best six The
Rhode Island birds took four of the
first seven and looked good for the
1000 side bet for which the main was
being fought. The fifth fight was won
by the Rhode Island bird and the back
ers were beginning to count the mon
ey.
Then came the surprise. The Mass
achusetts birds won three fights in
succession and took the main and the
$1,000. The $1,000 dropped on the main
was a small part of the money that
changed hands. On one fight alone
about $4,000 passed and the total of
losses was a large sum
Some New Londoners We're heavy
losers, but the burden of the losses
was borne by out of town sports. The
hackers of the birds had great faith
in them and backed them to the limit.
The cocks were in prime condition and
the fights, tits said, were bitterly con-
tested.

HALLEYS COMET NOT
EASY TO FIND.
w. Tyler Ofcott Has Ben Able to Pick
1t Out, But Only Family.

Attracted by the report that Hal
Iey's comet could now be seen with an
ordinary fieldglass numerous Norwich
people interested in the study of the
heavens have recently been searching
the sky in the early evening for a
sight of the comet, but without much
success. 1t was given out from the
Harvard observatory that the most
favorable time to see it was between
$50 and 7.30 p. M, looking towards the
west, with the glass elevated somewhat
above where the sun sets.
Conditions, however, have to be ex-
ceedingly favorable to see the celes-
tial wanderer, and the ordinary OBJ
server with a fieldglasS stands small
chance of picking it up just now, and
his chances are simmer each night,
said w. Tyler Olcott on Friday even
ing. With a telescope he saw the COM
ct on Thursday, March Sd, but was not
able to find it Friday night. Mr.. Oh
colt first picked it up on January Sth,
very faint then and looking like q pale
white electric light seen through a
mist. 1t is setting earlier each night
now, he says, so that there will be
only one or two more evenings on
which there is a chance of seeing it,
if no clouds are in the way. But by
the first week in April it will BE- around
in the east, where it will be visible.
Mr.. O1cott has had numerous inquiries
from local people about where to look
for the comet.
Prof. e. c. Pickering. director of the
Harvard observatory, says:
THE comet is al present in the twi-
light region. 1t is in the line of the
sun, and its brightness is dimmed by
the luster of the great center of the
solar system. Besides, it has not yet
attained it's greatest size. When it
makes its transverse of the sun it will
have attained it's maximum lbrilliancy.
That will be on May IS. 1t Will be
visible all through April. but at it's
brightest in May.
About that time if clouds do not
obscure it, it will be a dazzling sight.
About a third of the heavens will be
colored with a fiery gold, its great
flashes of light viii play from one part
of the heavens to anothSr, and the
scenes will be remembered for gen.
erations. Halley's comet has been noted
for it's brilliant displays.
There is absolutely no danger to the
earth from the comet The earth is 60
ing to shoot through its tail like a
cannon'ban through our atmosphere.
And we snail not notice the fact that
we are travelling through a comets
tail The idea that any harm will
come from the poisonous gases is ridi-
culous- The gas in the tail is cyano-
gen. In order to become dangerous it
would have to come into contact with
a large mass of hydrogen. and that is
practically all locked up in the water.
When the comet is nearest the earth
we shall be 100000 miles away. and
that is far enough to be cut of mis-
chief. OF course. the tail will reach
US, and we shall pass through it. But
we have done that before without any
damage and we shall do that again.
