eoroner's Finding on ReiIey's Death

Coroner A. c. Bill of Danielson has given out his finding relative to the death of John Kelley, who was struck by an automobile the night of Nov. 2, between Danielson and Elmville, died at the Day kimball hospital the fol- lowing day. The finding exhonorates D. E, Jette, driver of the machine, from all blame and is in part as fol- lows;
 find that John Riley, after visiting saloon on Main street In Danielson with one Andrew Healey, started about II o'clock ?. m. to walk to their board ing place in Elmviiie. That when about opposite the tenement house of Frank A. Davis, they saw an automo- bile approaching, and the said Healey remarked to said Riley, "There comes an automobile, look out.p That there upon said Riley appeared to be some what bewildered and started to the left side of the road, and stepped directly in front of said automobile. That the said Healey made an attempt to get hold oi said Riley to pull him toward the right side of the road, but was un~ abit tb up su III iiliit tO sHNt Hiin Ifoln being hit. That said Riley was hit just about hts left hip, by the fender of said automobile, and thrown violently to the ground, rupturing his bladder, and rendering him unconscious, and he never regained consciousness
 l find that the lights on MT. Jette's automobile were properly lighted, that when he saw the said Riley and Hea- ley approaching in the middle of the highway and about five hundred feet distant sounded his horn, slackened his speed, and turned his machine to the right of the highway, so that his wheels grazed the eurbstone. That he stopped his machine before the same had passed by the body of said Riley. find that MT. Jette did everything in his power to avoid said accident, and after the same occurred, rendered all the assistance possible to the injured man.
 1 therefore find that the said John Riley died from said injuries, resulting from being struck by said automobile, while walking in the highway as above stated, while under the influence of in- toxicating liquor, and that said death was not caused by the criminal act, omission, or carelessness of any other person or persons.
 Dated at killingly, this 2ith day of November, 1911.

 Coroner for Windham County.

Mans Skeleton Found

Thomas Baker and grandson Ran dall, of Pomfret, while out hunting found the skeleton of man near the Bark Meadow brook, near the Bruce farm, in Pomfret Landing, last Thurs day afternoon. They notified the se- leetmen who notified Deputy Coroner Dr. Overlook and he went to the place Friday morning.
 The skeleton lay within few feet of the brook. There were pieces of an old black and white shirt and dark brown overcoat. From nearby tree hung a pair of oyeralls. From the teeth 1t was judged that the man was of middle age. He was of medium height. A piece of tooacco and five cent piece was all that was found in the pockets.
 As no one has been reported missing il Is thought that the man was one of the gang of Italians who were em- ployed on the dam at Cotton's Bridge some time ago. He was either in the woods alone when he died or was done away with and his body dragged to where 1t was found.

City Election Next Monday

The city election will be held in Hammond hall next Monday. The polls will be open from a. m. to 8 p. m. Officers to be elected are as fol- lows: Mayor, alderman-at.large, eight aldermen, treasurer, tax collector, two auditors and two registrars.
 There is seemingly little interest in the election. There is little if any op- position to Mayor Macdonald and there is no doubt of his election. If there is any question as to the ticket to be elected it comes in the candidate for aiderman-at-large. To defeat the preS- ent incumbent of the office, John A. Dady, the democrats will have to over- ] come a naturally large republican ma- Jority in the city. There is little chance of their doing this, especially as they have no candidate to head the ticket and lend that much aid to the election of the alderman-at-large. It seems safe to assume that many of the democrats will east their votes for their straight ticket without taking the opportunity for expressing any 1 preference for mayor. The leading men of the party have refused the nomination and without some concert ed action on some candidate there would be no possibility of electing one of their party. It will be interesting to see what names and how many diff. ferent names will be written in the blank space.
 sample ballots have been received and the instructions regarding the writing of names that do not appear on the ticket are as follows:
 "If the column so marked in the cir ele for straight ticket does not con- tain the names for all offices for which you are entitled to vote or the number of names of candidates for any office | equal to the number for whom you are | entitled to vote, you may write, in the space in said column designated for such office and containing the words "No Nomination, the name of any person for whom you desire to vote for such office, or may place cross-mark "X'' in the voting space at the left oi the name of any candidate for such of. flee appearing in any other party col umn.
 To vote for a portion only of the can didates whose names appear in any one party column, or to vote a split ticket, that is for candidates of differ ent parties, make no cross mark "Xn in any circle at the head of the ballot but make a cross-mark "N' before the name of each candidate for whom you vote; and you may also write, in the space in the "blank column" designat- ed for the office, the name of any per son, not printed on the ballot, for whom you may desire to vote for such office u

City Court...Fuller Judge

Roderick Miller. rouuder, In and out of jail for getting drunk, was given six months by the court Friday morn. ing being found guilty of being com mon drunkard.
 twas said only the Monday before that the man finished s six months term on the same charge. He came to Putnam and has been drunk ever since. He had been sleeping in shed and the owner feared he would set fire to it, so complained to the officer.
 The court asked the prosecuting at- torney if 1t was within his power to put men upon the black list and was informed that 1t was not. He then asked if there was not law forbidding the sale of liquor to common drunk ard, The attorney said that the law was that no one should sell to an ha. bitually incorporate person, knowing him to be such. These last five words made the law worthless as any dealer could come into court and say that he did not know that the man to whom he sold was habitually intem perate The court then suggested that such be ing the case it would be a good plan te have cards printed and in such cases to notify all of the liquor dealers of tho city as to a mans conviction of habit nal drunkenness Ha reouesta1 tht clerk to get such cards printed.

Thanksgiving Day in Putnam

Tomorrow, Thursday, Is rhanksgiv- a community, have much to be thank ful for. We have suffered no epidem- ics of any kind, nor conilagrations, nor calamities, whatsoever. The past year has been one of peace and quiet. Bus. mess has been rather dull, especially among some of the mills which have been running on short time. But Put nam has been as we'll, if not better, of in this respect than most places in the country. There has been work plen- " for willing hands and there has been nc suffering on account of the lack of the necessaries of life. There has been clean administration of city affairs, and the police court record will show that the standardiof morals has been unusually high.
 The city has made great progress. Improvements are apparent on all sides. A fine new High school build ing, sewers, sidewalks, and highways, are among the prominent ones. These benefits are shared by all.
 We have lived in peace and harmo- ny as one large family, the minority gracefully submitting to the will of the majority. The improvements have tended to beautify the city and make 1t better place to live in. A hundred reasons might be advanced why Put nam is good home city.
 Putnam is not wealthy communi- ty, but it is q prosperous and generous one, and the people have good homes and live good, wholesome lives.
 For all these blessings our hearts should be filled with joy and gladness. In compliance with the proclamations of the President of our country and the Governor of our commonwealth, we should pause from our labors and re. member with praise and thanksgiving Him whose divine love and mercy has showered these manifold blessings up. on this community.

Disappeared With Contents of Cash Re-
 gister

Charles Tighe employed for a short time at Esrl's restaurant on Livery street, took the contents the cash register, S25.40, last week Tuesday night and left town. He left behind the following note addressed to his employer whom he robbed:
 Friend Tom:
 left in a hurry, the fly cops from Worcester are after me. I am going to Boston, will send you the money in about week.
 NIT. Earl has little confidence that the money will be sent. Tighe comes from New London where Earle for merly lived. He came to the restaur- ant down and out. Earle took him in paid his board, furnished him a place to sleep and paid him wages for work ing in the restaurant. On the Tuesday night Tighe lit out, Earle was out of town, so the man had plenty of opport- unity to help himself. The man who opens up in the morning discovered the loss.
 Tighe, it is understood is wanted by the Worcester police for deserting his wife.

World of Sporte

Putnam opened the basket ball sea- son in Hammond hall last Thursday evening with a 29 to Il win over the fast Oxford quintette. And with the win came an eye-opener for the fans, who were surprised at the strength and form shown by the local team.
 The game was kept fast but clean and the sport was enjoyed the more for that reason. Lewis work as referee received the commendation of specta- tors and players alike. All of Putnams lineup had been seen in Putnam uni forms before except keaney, assistant principal at the High school. He was under close observation and the critics voted that he made good.
 The attendance was not as large as the game warranted and it is hoped in the future that more interest will be shown as it has been proven that the local team is a good one.
 The teams lined mp as follows;
 PUTNAM OXFORD ANNHAiNN tAEht Aoi " Atd " T AiA ' Gagne left forward Bear Shaw center Lewis Wheaton right guard A. Taft Dupre left guard Sweeney
 On account of the storm there was only few spectators who saw the P. H. $. team play rings around the Alumnae Friday evening, winning by score of 45 to %.
 Thanksgiving afternoon at 8 o'clock there will be two games in Hammond hall for one admission. The headliner is Putnam vs Danielson. Between pe- riods the Baptist Sunday school, mems class, will play Woodstock Academy, Admission 9 cents, ladies 10 cents. Danielson's lineup will include S. and w.
