 on Elm street the proprietor saw that the signature was not genuine and called up cashier Gilpatric at the bank.
 MT. Gilpatric went out on the street and met Cole who pointed out the man just as he was entering Ballard X Clark s store. They followed him in
 and heard him say that the check had been given him for work done. Gill patric took the check and declared that the signature was not that Of MT. Bowen and the man immediately con- fessed.
 When in court and asked why he did 1t he said he had been drinking.
 He admitted being caught at the same
 thing before.
 Newcomb wore what appeared to be
 an old coat of the style worn by letter carriers and answers the description of
 the man who was begging from store
 keepers on Thursday saying he got
 his black eye when attacked by two
 men while he was on his way from
 Woodstock to this city. He was under
 the influence of liquor at the time.

Runaway Horse lnjures Three

Edwin T. White, for eighteen years selectman of Pomfret, Mrs. White, and incidentally Mark Lewis of Putnam, who tried to stop the horse, were in- jured Friday morning about half past ten when MT. Whites horse took fright at the city's steam road roller near Tyler's store and ran away.
 Mrs. White was the most severely injured. Her thigh was broken and she was badly bruised. MT. White were taken to the Day Kimball hospi- tai but MT. White was soon able to go to his home. Lewis was slightly in- jured but was soon able to be about In the afternoon.
 MT. White and his wife were on their way to attend the funeral of Allen Bab- bitt at Thompson. When near Tyler's store the horse took fright at the steam roller and MT. White got out and took the animal by the bridle to lead him by. The bridle broke and the horse Jumped on MT. White knocking him down, then whirled around and dash ed down School street. IL turned the corner at Providence street. Mark Lewis was coming along and made an endeavor to stop the animal. He par tially succeeded in doing so and man aged to get hold of the rear of the wa gon, draw himself up and climb over the seat. But with the bride broken there was not much to be done. A train coming under the Providence street bridge still further frightened the horse and it sweryed to the right, the wagon struck a trolley pole and the occupants were thrown out, the horse continuing on down the street.
 People who saw the accident hurried to the scene. MT. White soon arrived but was in such dazed condition he could not tell who ne was nor where he lived. Lewis, too, was dazed for few minutes and staggered about but said he was not seriously hurt. A gentleman from one of the mills near by went to hIs office and called up the stable where the ambulance is kept and asked that 1t be sent. He was told that orders from the hospital must first be obtained. He told the man who answered to get the authority and he called doctor. When the hospital was called the reply was that the man who first called must call the hospital. The gentleman assured the stable man that he would be responsible for the cost of taking out the ambulance. The outcome was that the ambulance did not arrive at all. Dr. Overlook hap I pened to be at the hospital and came i in his automobile and took MT. and 1 Mrs. White back with him. In the meantime Mrs. White, who said that her leg was broken, and she also
 thought one or two ribs, was taken in 10 a nearby house. The wagon was somewhat damaged and the horse cut
 The horse was stopped near pupre'' 1 drug store and put In the barn of Al phonse Boucier, who was one of ths l first to arrive at the scene of the ae

Violet Edmands Spent Week at Pomfret

Miss Violet Edmands, tiancee of Rev. c. V. T. Richeson, now in the Charles street jail at Boston awaiting trial on the charge of haviug caused the death of Avis Linnell by giving her cyanide of potassium, spent last week at Pom- fret.
 Miss Edmands, her parents and a nurse, arrived at the Vernon Stiles ho- tel in Thompson week ago last Sun day afternoon. IL was believed that they intended to stay indefinitely, but Miss Edmands showed dissatisfaction with the place and insisted upon leav- ing. The big touring car was brought out and the party left about 8 o'clock in the evening. Whither they went no one knew.
 It has since developed that the party went to the Ben-Grosvenor in Pomfret where they registered under the name of Smith. They made arrangements immediately to occupy cottage con nected with the hotel and the so called Mathewson cottage was assigned them. Meels were sent over from the hotel.
 Beyond question the family are seek ing quiet and seclusion on account of the health of the daughter and the no- toriety they have attained. Their de- sire has been respected by the good people of Pomiret, who were close mouthed when any inquiry,respecting the new arrivals was made. The fam. fly have kept closely within doors with only occasional outings for fresh air, one such outing being trip .o Putnam.
 Monday night the cottage was de- serted. The family have left Pomiret. They did not make their destination generally known. If some of the peo- pie in Pomfret with whom 1t was nec- essary for the family to have business relations, were told where they went, they are respecting the contidenceiIe- posed in them.

scribing conditions which have result
ed from the use Of seed like the
sample under discussion.
All OF the statements here made
are capable Of definite proof by con
crete examples. In fact considerable
care has been taken not to over state
or to make conditions seem worse
than they are. There is good seed on
sale, In many places in the state, by
many dealers; there is also poor seed
for sale, often times at Fancy"
prices.
1t is hoped that by the time the
next legislature meets there will be a
sentiment throughout the state strong
enough to bring about the adoption
Of a good seed law, 40 that garden

freed from the labor and expense Of
fighting noxious weeds which have
