Norwich bulletin., 1912-12-04

From 8 paper published in south ern city. where he happened to be staying, Major A. D. Mcintyre of this city made clipping telling of how cashier in the Bank of London, Eng land, nearly collapsed when a. quiet i appearing gentleman entered, handed check for million pounds in the win dow, and said, "AH gold, please" The money was wanted to ship to Amer | lea on the Lusitania to meet the cost of 1 the purchase of the Willimantic Thread l company by the English Sewing con- pany, the man who handed in the check being director of the latter l concern. Fewer Tramps This Season. | Police records in this city and other like records in the larger Windham county towns indicate that this section l of Connecticut has not ben much trou- i bled during 1912 with the tramp nuis- i ance. Fewer knights of the road have l been arrested hereabouts during the past year than has been the case dur ing the last decade. Why this is a fact is a difficult matter to explain, but | for some one of various reasons ad- vanced, or maybe for several of the reasons, there have been few tramps to appeaf in court. That this is true all over the county is indicated by the reduced number of prisoners in the county jail at Brooklyn this year.
 Suits Against City.
 Several suits against the city for al- legged damages caused by sewer con- struction and on account of other claims are expected to be either tried out or adjusted during the next few months. Two of the most important of these suits are brought by Pomfret people, MT. and Mrs. Edwin White, who were injured in a runaway accident here about a year ago.
 Will Place Wires Underground. 1 Changes contemplated by the s. N. D. Telephone company in Putnam during
 the coming year include the placing
 underground of additional lines now on
 poles in the city limits. These changes
 will probably be made incident to the
 construction of the new central office
 building on South Main street.
 Work at Railroad Yards We'll in Hand.
 In the Putnam railroad yards during
 this season of an extra large amount
 of work the men are making fine
 record All the principal transfer points
 on the New Haven system, of which
 Putnam is one of eight,are rushed with
 work. but Putnam is making a record
 that will compare with the best.
 Firebug Not Located.
 The state and local police have put
 in several more days of work on the incendiary fire cases without making
 any great progress toward solving the mystery, which is mighty difficult one
 to unraVel.
 The ceaseleSs activity of the officers , however, has had one very beneficial , result-that of putting an end to the , work of the firebug, or should the lat
 ter word be made plural? There have , been no fires since the big one, al though many people were startled into thinking another was at hand Monday night. when the alarm rang in during the storm.
 Miss Notre Dame Academy. } Students who were at Notre Dame Academy in this city write from other : institutions where they are now study ing that they would much prefer to bt ? in the school here that has been clos. ed. Putnam always seemed to appea to a majority of the students as city
 just to their liking The people of St
 Mary's parish were much interested II ,, , them and there was also the traditions
 
 home.
 z Bull Moose in North Foster. 3 There's supposed to be moose in th' $ town of Foster, just over the state lin' : in Rhode Island. Now, this isn't an. 3 joke, nor Is it an introductory to al . insipid yarn about the kind of noos'
 that was put down and out in the No l vember election. This ds the story O 8 a real live moose that has apparentl! !. wandered into territory where such al ! animal has not been known to exis 5 for more than century. and maybe { I whole lot longer.
 t Several good North Foster peopl l have reported seeing the animal, ,amonS T them being Mrs. Henry Smith. She i Q reported to have seen it on Jerimoutl X Hill. which sounds like reasonabl place for a moose to be if he intend a spending any length of time in thi T section.
 d Hunters who have heard the stor. and feel convinced that the people liv 2 ing in a farming section know the diff 5 ference between a moose and deer 2 are anxious to get a shot at the anima y for they claim there is no closed sea
 son on moose in Rhode Island an f Connecticut.
