BUG HOUSE LETTERS
 ASTONISH RECIPIENTS. 1ncoherent Collection of Words With out Meaning Received By Station
 Agent and Selectman-

An anonymous letter writer is busy in town but so far his efforts have not caused alarm because the reef pfents are unable to make out what < he is after. Two weeks ago, Walter Curtis the station agent of the New Haven road received letter which puzzled even this adept in deciphering vaguely worded manuscript.
 It purported to come from a form CT railroad man who wished to be reinstated but whose brains were sad 1y out of line. A full page of discon- nected words and sentences made puzzle which MT. Curtis was unable | to decipher.
 On Saturday First Selectnan Chas. H. Welles received a letter which in comparison identified as coming from the same person, who wrote to Agent Curtis It was a jumbled collection Of disconnected words and sentences and it's real import was hard to de- cipher but the same burden of desire for reinstatement as railroad man seemed to be evident. Neither of the letters bore signature. It IS prob- able that the writer is demented. No threats of any kind were made and the tone of the letters was distinctly friendly The addition of an anony- nous letter writer to the Hone band it, who is shooting up the streets at night need not cause undue alarm for both are harmless. The shooting
 
 streets has been investigated, and found to come from gunners on Knel1s island who have been taking advan- tage of the moonlight nights to bag ' the ducks which take refuge there. RESOLUTIONS BY CUPHEAG CLUB The following resolutions have been prepared by the committee of the cupheag club, appointed for the pur- pose.
