Childreu's Home Barn Burned
5000 LOSS. WE'LL INSURED

A fire which may have been of in- cendiary origin destroyed the large barn at the Windham County Tempo rary Home shortly after o'clock Wednesday afternoon. The loss is es- timated at S7 900 almost fully insured.
 The fire was discovered by few of the 67 children in the Home, most of whom were just returning from school at the time. Job Thatcher, snperin- tendent ot the Home, was engaged in getting in ice when he heard the cries of fire. With the aid of his hired man and a neighbor he succeeded in getting the nine cows and about dozen hogs outside to a place of safety, this being all the livestock that was in the build ing. Two of the horses were being used in getting in ice, and the other
 one was on a trip to Putnam. Some of the wagons, harnesses and farming implements were saved, but not all. Immediately on discovery of the fire request for aid was telephoned to Putnam, and Mansfield Hose company
 was sent up, but the principal defense in saving the Home from destruction was made by the fire hose st the
 Home, the supply of water coming from the large tank, which was filled | to it's capacity. While the barn was
 totally destroyed, this fire protection system was sufficient to prevent ths | Home from becoming ignited or from
 being in any way damaged.
 The children at the Home were bad l ly frightened, but none were injured and under the diplomatic handling ol 1 Mrs. Thatcher, the matron, were soon
 themselves again.
 Mrs. Thatcher said, after the fire | that when it was first discovered some
 of the children claimed to have seer
 three disreputable looking men coming
 out of the barn. and there was belief
 Wednesday night that they may have been responsible for the blaze. The | fire started downstairs in the rear oi 1 the barn.
 The County Commissioners happen | ed to be in Putnam and hurried to the
 scene in an automobile. Other auto
 mobiles and wagons carried others.

F,rcmen's Ball

The committee of arrangements are at work planning to make the Fire mems Annual Concert and Ball, to be held in Union hall, Monday evening, February 10th, greater pageant, a better musical treat, and the finest time they have ever had. This Is a task the committee have assumed and those who have attended similar events in the past will wonder if 1t is possible to accomplish 1t. It can be done of course. And if il can be done the firemen can do it. The answer is that the l2th Annual Ball will be the biggest yet.
 We are tempted to say Firemen's Ball, give the date, and let 1t go at that. Any other advertising seems su- peffuous. The public hardly need 10 be told year after year that the fire men will have good time, as they have had the proof for Il years. But it has got to be habit People like to hear the details, talk it over and thereby interest is created.
 This year the Cargill orchestra of eight pieces will render a fine musical program md play for the dancing. They will include all of the newest musical hits in their program. Frank | E. Murray will act as prompter. The special decorations will be Tn l charge of the American Decorating Company of South Birmingham, Mass, and will include a brilliant elec- trical display.
 Special car north as far as West Thompson at 12 o'clock. i. South as far us Danielson at 12.35. Tickets may now be had of mem bers of the depart ment at Sl each. Ladies' tickets at door 20 cents.

Charles p. Havemeyer and
daughter of CORTLAND D. Moss,
of Philadelphia, should have been
waiting, with her hands folded in
her lap, for the return of her
slightly exhilerated lord and mas
ter. ,. ..---/
There is quite a difference of
opinion as to what happened after
this, the difference being between
the police and Beach.
Beach says he went home and
found his wife lying on the lawn,
bleeding from wound in her
throat, and unconscious. He
says. a negro did this, and Mrs.
Beach backs him up, although
vaguely.
The police, however, say that
no negro has a part in the drama
at all. They say that when
Beach came home there was a
certain man in a gray suit" in
an unconventional attitude with
Mrs. BEACH, and that Beach, be-
ing too drunk to chase the man,
who fled, took it out on his wife.
There is much speculation as to
whom the IMAM in the gray suit"
may have been, and there is some
comment on the fact that c. Oil
yer Iselin,. dean of the millionaire
colony, has offered huge re-
ward for the arrest and convic-
ton of the negro. Some people
suggest that c. Oliver would be
content, with the arrest and con-
viction of any negro.
The police say they have the

is the manner in which blood

There also is a certain CONVEX

trial. This happened at the po-
lice hearing of the case.

they were alone in the room in
