letters from you. Are you like Maude,
requiring some great disaster before you
find time to write? Charlie and Dorsey

the habit of childhood, when left alone

something out of the ordinary. Let's
hope writing to you will settle the
demon of unrest. presume Maude has
told you how the water got one and one

soon as it began falling, went from stair
way in boat to the steps of smoke
house, how we cooked up there on heater
until water got out of oven of cook stove
and Charlie could get into kitchen in
knee boots and do the cooking. While
was gone, he lived mostly on raw eggs,
too busy to try to cook on heater as it
took hustling to save the stock. Water
began falling on the 22nd of April and

month he stole a pair of horses from the stable of W. H. Young of Wood stock. Sleeves came to that town with other men in an automobile one night ill April of 1905 he said, took the pair of horses, blankets, horse goods, harnesses and grain and started for the Massachusetts line. The next day the horses were hidden in the woods near Oxford, and the next night driven into Boston, from where they were shipped to Portland, Me, and sold to a Iumberman.
 This story was repeated, in re- sponse to an inquiry Tuesday, over the telephone by Mrs. Young at Wood stock, who talked in the absence of her husband. Sheriff Rice recently wrote to Mir. Young, giving him the facts of the confession. Mrs. Young stated that there was no truth in the part of the New York paper story that her husband had received a let ter, unsigned, stating that it was from the man who stole the horses, and that while MT. Young was in Wor- cester looking for them he had eaten dinner at the same table in a restau- rant with the horse thief.
 From all that can be learned, there is no ground for the claim that the confession of Sleeves solves the theft of other horses hereaDouts.

A New London paper of Friday said: The large nuinber of members who attended the monthly meeting of the New London Horticultural society last evening felt well repaid in the pleas ure and instruction they derived from the interesting address given by Mrs Otis Chapman of Westerly, the dahlia specialist. Mrs. Chapman is a recog- nized authority on the cultivation of this flower, and her success is evil denced in the dahlia farm which she owns, covering many acres. Mrs. Chapman described in detail the best methods of planting, raising and pick ing dahlias. She said the ground should be plowed about May 15 and planting should not be earlier than May 20 and better from June 1 to 10. She raised a laugh when she said that the proper time to gather the flowers was a. 1 o'clock in the morning, while the dew vas still on them. Many points of great value to florists were embodied m her remarks. A vote of thanks was given Mrs. Chapman for her services.

On the night of the shooting Antonio came in and wanted 8 drink and gave him one, and another, and then gave him no more. Antonio was drunk and had a riece of iron pipe in his hand and struck the counter with 1t. An JoniO struck witness with his fist, but he did not hit Antonio with a club, but made q fCint at him to scare him away. Antonio struck witness and knocked him down. Lussia called to the other two men to stop Antonio from follow ing him, but they could not get hold of him. Lussia took the revolver out of the show case, pointed it at Antonio and then put the revolver back. Then Antonio said Lussia dare not shoot and kept following. Lussia then got the revolver and Antonio came towards him with bottle in hand. Then Lussia thought his life was in danger and fired two shots. Antonio kept follow ing until Lussla was backed up against the wall and then fired the third shot Then Antonio made outcry and witness realized the bullet took effect and was very sorry. The first shot was fired when the men were about eight feet apart ard about four feet when last shot was fired. Lussia said he shot Antonio because he believed his own life was in danger and he could retreat no farther.
