WINDHAM COUNTY
STANDING PAT.
Net One Representative Mixed Up in Bull Moose Gathering at New Haven.

Windham county men are keeping the. faith and were not mixed up m that Bull Moose gathering at New Haven on Tuesday. Not one of the 49 delegates selected to go to Chicago to select a vice president halls from a Windnam county toWn-not a solitary one,' Windham county stands pat. And up this way there is a constantly growing feeling that this never waver- ing loyalty to party principles should get some recognition when it comes to naming men for important places on the state ticket. And, furthermore, Windham county has republicans ca pablo of filling any or all of such of fees.
 Struck by Trolley Car.
 Deutro Stero, IS, of North Grosvenor- dale, has been taken to St. Vincent's hospital in Worcester. The youth was struck by a trolley car in the village where he lived Tuesday night.

 Garage Thefts Complained Of.
 ullIc11 1uIOlDORAAG VWDCl0 WAlO leave their cars in garages in the larger cities that they visit during the touring season are getting wise to a certain form of graft that they are likely to be subjected to. This graft consists of stealing shoes" from their cases, taking inner tubes and the best tools in an owners kit. One case has recently been cited where a Presto lite tank was taken of a machine left in a garage for the night. The only pre- ventive seems to be for owners to take an inventory of every detachable or removable thing on or in car before leaving the garage finally When a garage staff gratis to the extent of stealing gasoline from the tank of a transient car 1t Is up to the owner to get busy for his own protection. The grafters figure on the chance that the thefts they commit will not, as a gen. eFal rule, be discovered for seme time; then that it will be quite impossible to trace the loss, The troubles enumeF- ated seem likely only to occur in the large cities, Ne such complaints are ever heard heFesbouts.
