Another Bag Snatching Attempt

Another unsuccessful attempt at bag
snatching occurred early Saturday
evening on South Main street not far
from the railroad station.
A woman from Attawaugan had
been in the Peoples Store to do some
shopping. When she came out a man
who stood near the steps leading into
the subway saw her and followed her
towards the Fronts street ibridge. She
had not gone far before the man grab
bed her hand bag and tried TO take II
away from her. She struggled and a
man saw the trouble and ran to her
assistance. The thief saw him coming
and started on the run. The man gave
chase and followed down the street
and through the yard of the Putnam
Coal Il Wood company and the
snatcher ran up the railroad bank.
When he reached the top he turned
andpicking up stones and anything else
that came TO his hand threw them at
his persuer and threatened him if he
came nearer. He then turned and ran
up the railroad track in the darkness.
The man who gave chase described
the thief as about eighteen or nineteen
years of age and light complexion.
The description does not correspond
with the bag snatcher who operated Il
week previously.

christmas in Putnam

1t was n good old fashioned New
England white Christmas after all.
The first snow of the season was a
small sized blizzard with nearly foot
OF snow. Trains were delayed Tues
day from an hour to two hours and a
half. Travel was heavy and most
trains were run in several sections. 1t
showed from O'Clock Tuesday morn
ing until o'clock in the afternoon.
Then it cleared and grew cold. 1t was
a cold, crisp, starlight Christmas eve
and the streets were thronged with the
late buyers. a party of Christmas
carol singers serenaded ON Grove street
and the music was pleasing to all who
were fortunate enough to hear it.
The clerks in stores and post Office
ended their trying labors, tired, but
nevertheless full of the prevailing
Christmas spirit. Business was the
best in years.
Christmas morning the thermome-
ter registered 40 below zero, but il
grew warmer during the day and the
temperature was mild before noon.
The day was quiet one. No arrests
were made by the police. The basket
ball game in the afternoon drew a good
attendance. Webster won Is TO 10.
The theatre did good business after
noon and evening. There were many
family parties and Christmas trees in
the homes and visits were paid back
and forth among neighbors and
friends.
The church services brought out
good numbers and the Christmas trees
pleased the youngsters. All in all it
was joyful day and one of good cheer
for the citizens of Putnam.

Health Bulletin

The monthly bulletin of the state
Board of Health shows that there were
1881 deaths during the month of No
vember. This was LA less than In &c.
tober and 65tmore than in November
of last year and 80 more than the aver.
age number of deaths during Novem-
Der for the five years preceding. The
death rate was 1870 for the large towns
aud las tor the small towns. For the
state IL was $50.
There were 149 deaths from diseases
of the nervous system, 1i2 from heart
disease, III from consumption, lOS
from pneumonia, and IS were by acei-
dent or violence.
DR.. Joseph I'll. Townsend, secretary
of The state Board, in speaking of
colds says they are transferred from
one person to another by an infection
and that the best place TO take cold
is not out of doors but in close, i'll ven.
tilated rooms, ears, theaters and
churches. The fact that colds are
much more prevalent in winter is
chiefly due to the tact that at season
of the year we take less exercise out OF
doors and live in houses with doors
and windows closed. TO avoid taking
cold DIR. Townsend says we should
keep the body in such excellent condi-
ton that IL will resist the invasion of
germs and we should avoid infection
as far as possible.
In Putnam there were II deaths in
November, representing an annual
death rate of 1877. There were II births
and % marriages in October.
The following infectious diseases
were reported: Measles |, diphtherIa
and Group 8, consumption ,.

The desth knell Of the old wooden
dining and sleeping ears upon the
New York, New Haven and Hartford
system has been sounded. Wednes.
day il became known that the road
had placed an order for 250 of the very
latest steel dining and sleeping ears
turned out by the Pullman company.
Delivery on these cars is TO be rushed.
For years the New Haven road has
been using its own diners and sleep
ers.
The Pullman company has been try
ing to get in on the New Haven sys-
tenn, but except cars on through trains
coming from other roads, ii has
found very little business on the New
Haven.
The contract for ESQ of the new cars
will practically turn over the whole
sleeping car and dining car system TO
the Pullman company which operates
its own ears.
The contract calls for the substitu-
ton OF any improved equipment which
may come out s@twsen now and the
time of delivery of the cars.
Whether or not this change will
affect the employees now operating the
New Haven built equipment is pro-
blematical. The New Haven equip
ment will probably be taken over by
the Pullman company after an APP
praisal of its value has been made.

City Court--.FuIler Judge

Roy Caisse, II, was committed TO
the Connecticut School for Boys when
he appeared before the court at a
special session Saturday afternoon.
He was charged with being incorrigi-
bic. The same afternoon his nine
year-old brother was committed to the
County home by Judge Wright.
The boys mother is sickly and their
step father gave them scant attention
and they lived in manner that tend
ed to cause them to lead vicious lives.
The family came here from Eastford
some time ago and have given the
the authorities more or less trouble.
The mother complained about the
boys and wanted them committed and
they were summoned 10 appear before
the probate court. This they failed TO
do and several times when the officers
went to get them they saw them COM
ing and made off. 1t was learned
Saturday morning that they had re-
turned home and the iofiicers went to
the house. The boys attempted to get
through window and escape but
were not quick enough.
The lad begged for another chance
but as he and his relatives had given
repeated promises TO have the boys
attend school and lead better lives it
was thought useless to trust them fur
Their. The lads had also annoyed the
neighborhood by begging for food.

Tuesday Clubs Christmas Party

A most delightful afternoon was
spent Monday by the members of the
Tuesday club, when they were enter
tanned at Christmas party by Mrs.
c. K. Pratt of Bradley street. The
Christmas tea was served from pref
tily decorated table. A miniature
Christmas tree, lighted with red cam
dies was in the center of the table, 1.-THE
color scheme of red being carried out
in every detail. The place cards were
hand decorated, representing Christ
mas trees, and at each plate were pla-
ced red crepe paper baskets containing
small Christmas trees, which seemed
to be growing in the delicious fruit,
ice cream, which was found TO be in
the baskets. Red candles were used
about the room, which was also de-
cotated with hemlock and red ribbons.
Following the luncheon the arrival
OF a real 1--we Santa Claus caused
amszement and fan, rs this part of the
program was a complete surprise to
all; even the alarm eek, continually
ringing, gave ne hint of the APP
preaching guest. This Santa not only
distributed choice gifts, but amused
the young ladies by his witty remarks.
The club members always exchange
gifts at Christmas time, and as in pre-
vious years the gifts were choice and
artistic, each one showing that much
time and thought had been spent ON
it. Games occupied the latter part Of
the afternoon.
