JERRY sHEtIlN -.TRlTs ilL


Asletter from Jerry Sheehan
this morning enclosed the follow
ing clipping from the Independent:
What became Of the wonderful
popularity of Senator Massey in
Elko? II seemed to vanish into thin
air yesterday when the test came
between friendship and principle.
His paltry majority off q in the.
town is more than off set in the
county, as Pittman will have over
100 majority in the county"
In very insulting letter, Jerry
saws he cut the clipping from a.
paper sent him by friends in Elko
and then proceeds to accuse us of
ingratitude for hospitality that we
never received and then continues
in the following Strain: eve did.
not expect you to support Judge
Massey, in fact knew you would
not, but had reason to believe that
you would at least act decent"
WeAlo. not know what Jerry's
ideas of decency are, nor do we
care very much, but if his ideas
of decency are correctly expressed
in his letter we are perfectly
willing to, admit that he does not
know what it is to be decent and
is not good Judge of the actions
nf others. He also speaks of his
friendship for us, but if.his letter
is an evidence of that friendship.
we would rather have the friend
ship of ratulesnake.
Jerry slobbers all over himself in
bis effort to make it appear that
Senator Massey received the votes
of all the linen of standing and
regulations as being the best
citizens" but does not tell how he
voted. 1t may be that he considers
himself one Of the "best citizens"
but if he does we pity the others.
Farther on he says that he "has
no doubt that the news of Msssey's.
defeat is very gratifying to you"
He never shot closer to the
mark in his life. Why shouldn't
we De gratified over the defeat of
la republican United States
senator? We did all we could
honorably to elect Mr.. Pittman and
have no apologies to make TO
Senator Massey or to his fool
brother-in-law, Jerry Sheehan.
It may be that oceans of tears
will be shed and millionns of hearts
made sad, when "the Good Lord
calls him Senator Massey to the
other side" and that there will be
no tears and 10 sad hearts when we
shuttle of, but ii we had such fool
brother-in-law as Senator Massey
has in Jerry Sheehan, we would
not cease praying that he be called
hence P. ID. @.
In order that Jerry may see
what jackass he has made of him
self, we will state what called out
the item that caused him SO much
pain. II was simply this: During
the campaign lying reports were
sent from here by Senator Massey
friends telling of his gre, t
popularity in Elko Those claims
failed. to materialize when the
votes we're counted and we stated
the fact. That's all.
Now. jerry, should you be
moved to write us another letter,
we will be pleased to answer it.
Just turn her loose whenever you
feel like it. Don't spare us and
we'll be happy to do the same by
you. Let her come.

No Blame to City Electrical Dept.
Coroner Browns Finding on the Death of T. Turcotte of Taftville-PuIing on Telephone Wire Swung It Up Against High Tension Lne-Investgation Finished Thursday.

Coroner Franklin H. Brown con- cluded his investigation on Thursday afternoon of the death of T. Turcotte of Taftville by an electric shock last Sunday and announced his finding that the young mans death was not due to negligence of anyone other than himself, thus relieving the Norwich gas and electric department and the Uncas Power company of any blame that might have attached to them through the unfortunate accident.
 It was an unused telephone line be- tween the Scotland dam of the power company and the city station of the gas and electric department that young Turcotte had hold of when he received the current of electricity which killed him.
 With Supt. w. F. Bogue. Line Chief Edward Malaga of the Norwich gas and electrical department, Coroner Brown on Thursday afternoon visited the scene of the accident near Taftville for the purpose of finding out, if pos sible, how the electric current which killed Turcotte got into the wire he

VOTES TO DISCONTINUE
 SUNDAY EVENING SERVICE
Second Church Summer Recess Will
 Last from July Eth to Sept 18th.

At the Thursday evening prayer meeting of the Second Congregational church a recommendation from the church committee was before the meeting that the Sunday evening ser vice be omitted from July 7th to Sept. 18th, inclusive. The meeting voted in favor of adopting the recommendation
 The topic for the evening was The Best Hour to Hold Sunday School. It brought out an interesting discussion, but without any action being taken In advocating the hour of 9.30 Sunday morning, the pastor, Rev H. J. Wyck- off, made the points that it was best for the pupil at that time because he was mentally more alert then than later in the day; best for the church because this hour was an aid towards securing the attendance of the Sunday school children at church, and best for the family because it interferes less with the usual arrangements in the everyday programme of dinner hour and other family interests.

was holding, since that wire did not carry a current enough of itself to give him a fatal shock.
 On the same pole on which the tele- phone wire was strung was run the high tension line of the Uncas Power company.
 They had the current on the high tension line shut off on Thursday while they were making their investi- gation, and they proceeded to see if the telephone wire could be swung enough in the span between that pole and the next one to make it hit the high tension line. This they found would happen when the wire was jerked the way the testimony showed young Turcotte had pulled on it at the time of the fatal accident. They also found one or two spots on the tele- phone wire which showed where it had been in contact with the high tension line, so that it was demonstrated con- clusively to the coroner that young Turcotte had met his death by his own act in pulling on the wire, and he rendered his finding that way.
