Arsenate of Lead May Poison Cattle.
The use of arsenate of lead behooves
the owners of grazing animals to guard
them carefully, for where trees have
been sprayed there is danger that they
may be poisoned by eating nearby
grass The adoption of the practice
of marking trees that have been spray
ed with poisonous liquid, as is in
vogue in Massachusetts, is urged
where it is believed there is danger
to either persons or other living things.

PUT NAM
Two Burgiaries Early Monday Morn
ing-Men for Jury Service in Five
Towns-Two Fires on Monday.

Putnam had two breaks during the
early hours of Monday morning. The
places entered were the store of Bal
lard & Clark. where a heavy stone was
sent crashing through a plate glass
and two revolvers stolen from the win
dow display. and the lunch cart OF
Frederick Z. Franklin, located near by,
where a screen was pulled out Soma
cigars were the only things missed by
Mr. Franklin. The revolvers stolen are
of 80 calibre. one with a six inch and
one with a three inch barrel.
Police Sergeant Hayes believes the
breaks were made some time between
and 5 o'clock, after he had gone off
duty. He says that he heard no break
ing glass during the night and feels
quite certain that he would have If it
had been done during the hours that
he was patroling the business section.
Sergeant Hayes says that at about
o'clock, when he was on the way to
turn off the lights in the subway. he
saw a tall young man dressed in dark
clothes sitting on the steps at the
drinking fountain near Luke's store,
and that he talked with him. The fell
low said he had just got in" and in
opened and as to how soon he could
get a car for Thompson.
This incident is mentioned because
the fellow I'm question answers in
way the description of one of two
young fellows, strangers hereabouts,
who are under suspicion of being
guilty of making the breaks. Neither
of them is much if any over 20 years
of age. They have been lettering about
the southern outskirts of the city for
several days. Each wore suit OF dark
blue. One wore q dark cap and the
other a light cap. They could not be
located Monday.
Recent breaks at railroad stations
along the Midland, divosion between
East Douglas and Franklin have given
the local police the theory that the
fellows may have worked as far as
Putnam, changing the operations. from
stations to stores.

There have been in town this week

in town last week says the big elms
