by many years beyond what the av-
erage oldest citizen has spent In this
town. He obtained his education in
the schools Of Suff1eld. In his early
years he learned the carpentering
trade and followed it during the great
er part Of his active life.
Captain Granger served in the civil
war, making q fine record. In 1851
he was the leading spirit in the or
ganization of a company, later mus
tered in as Company III. Fifth Con-
necticut Volunteers. that was recruit
ed principally in the towns of Putnam

the residents of that nearby village.
Sewer Contract About Half Done.
About so per cent Of the contract
to build sewers through various streets
| in Putnam has been completed by the
| Petrossi company of Hartford whose
men have been employed here since
spring. When the contract that this
company has is completed the work
of providing the city with a sewer
system will have been practically
completed. 1t is understood that own
ers of property abutting the streets
| through which sewers have been laid
are not hurTying themselves in many
| instances about making connections
with the service. Where nuisances
exist because of their failure to dc
this action may be looked for from
the city health officer 1t is said.

MAD DOG SCARE.
Deficient Spring In Revolver Saved
Life of Innocent Canine.

Putnam had mad dog scare Just
before two o'clock Wednesday after
noon, but It later appeared that the
dog that caused all the excitement,
which found a setting on Elm street.
was not mad, but according to Peter
Gardner, dog warden, frightened be-
cause it had received chastisement.
The Elm street persons who sent word
to the dog warden to come and shoot
the animal. which was trying to get
into their home. believed the dog to
be suffering with the rabies. Mr..
Gardner took his revolver and went
out to do his duty. AS he explained
later in the afternoon, a spring that
failed to work properly in the revolt
yer was the cause of the dog eseap-
ing with its life, for before the little
bulldog was hit DIR. F. S. Baldwin
came and took the dog into his charge.

MODERN ROAD BUILDING.
Steam Shovel Makes Dirt Fly on New
State Highway

What may be done in road building
through the use of modern mechani-
cal devices is being demonstrated on
Perrin hill, where Antonio Vito, con-
tractor, is using a steam shovel to cut
down to the grade of the new state
read that he is building. Contractor
Vite has a steam shovel at werk up
there and it is certainly doing its
work, The teams that are carrying
away the dirt cut out of the hill barely
stop before the big shovel has them
on their way again with a load of
soil, AS enc man described the work
on Wednesday, the shovel just keeps
the teams moving in a steady pro-
cession. There is no lest time. It is
estimated that the cost of removing
dirt under the system in vogue at
Perrin hill is in the vicinity of Is
cents yard. The old-fashioned meth
cd of shoEelling it out by hand has
made the cost average about 80 cents
a yard

rain spoiled the plans of the officers,
for speeders do not as a rule like to
travel in the rain. 1t is not probable
that the officers gave out that they
were at Elmville, but is probable.
There Is q fine new stretch of state
road there to tempt the fast drivers
and it is at such points that the state
police station themselves.
About the New Repair Shops.
1t is suggested in a newspaper item
that the repair shops Of the New Eng
land Southern railway, now being
built through Massachusetts and
Rhode Island. be located in Putnam.
Maybe Danielson better try to get the
shops If the company is considering
locating them on the New Haven sys-
tenn and at least score Of miles from
their own lines Maybe!

From the start it was conceded that the Locos would land the Industrial league pen nant for Bill Lundberg, the nifty lit tie, right little manager, had the material and the ,noddle to work the boys to their best. Oh, the press agents yarn-here goes:
 Judging by results, nothing but the best will satisfy spirit, so mo- ticeabIe a feature of the Locomobile Go. organization, was evidently adopt ed by the Loco baseball team at the beginning of the 1912 Industrial League season.
 Not only have the Locos played a quality of ball during the entire sea- son that demonstrated their right to the championship, but their work was of so snappy an order that they all but ran away with the staff as we'll as the pennant.
 Fifteen games were played in the series and the I.ocos were victorious in fourteen of them, including the last one on August 17th, with Crane No 1, the score being 10 to o."
