ATTEMPT TO WRECK
 OLD MYSTIC TROLLEY CAR.
Telephone Pole and Tie Had Been Placed Across Tracks-Larger Car Wanted.

An attempt to derail a trolley car on the Groton and Stonington extension to Old Mystic was frustrated late Sat urday night by James E. F. Brown of Mystic, who found the butt end of telephone pole lying across the rails and little farther along another ob- struction in the shape of railroad tie, this, too, lying across both rails. Su- perintendent Ryley of the Norwich and Westerly Traction company, in which the Groton and Stonington is included, said last night that the com pany will give a reward of S100 for the apprehension of the guilty parties, and an effort is being made to ferret out the business.
 The officials of the road are frank to connect this act with the con- plaints that have been received recent ly with regard to the trolley car that is in operation between Mystic and Old Mystic, and the suspicion is well es- tablished that the attempt to derail the car was made by some people who have been finding fault with the par ticular car that has been furnished the branch line to the head of the river.
 While James E. F Brown was driv- ing in a hack to Old Mystic about midnight Saturday night his attention was attracted to an obstruction on the tracks of the trolley line a little ways above the residence of Fred A. Barnes, He got down from his seat and in vestigated. He found it to be the butt end of 6 telephone pole which some one had arranged across the tracks in such a manner that it would have been pretty certain to derail a trolley car perhaps causing serious damage and loss of life. But in case this at l tempt might fail, MT. Brown found a | little farther up the road railroad tie | lying across the tracks in the same manner and with a purpose that spoke | for itself. After removing the ob- | structions. Mir. Brown notified Super intendent Ryley of his discovery. and needless to say, the matter is being well investigated.
 For some time dissatisfaction has been expressed by several of the Ol6 | Mystic patrons of the Old Mystic ex- | tension about the trolley car that has |, been used the grievance seeming to bt | that the car is not quite as large a: | those in use on the main line. One
 very indignant traveller stated in a re-
 cent letter that it was a disgrace tC ride on the car in question-just why | or how was not satisfactorily ex. plained. Superintendent Ryley stated
 last night that the car was used tt
 save expenses and enable the compan'
 to continue its service to Old Mysti
 through the winter, and he intimatet
 that if complaints and expressions O
 dissatisfaction, together with such act
 as that perpetrated Saturday night
 were continued, the company woul
 probably decide to run the trolley
 only as far as the cemetery, cuttin
 out Old Mystic entirely

ONLY TWO DEER NOW
 LEFT AT MoHEGAN PARK. One Jumped Eight Foot Fence ard Escaped-Another Had to Be Shot.

Of the four deer that were brought here last Friday from Long Island only two are now in Mohegan park. The four animals were put in d teIn- porary enclosure in the park Friday afternoon, and shortly afterwards one of them jumped over the wire fence which is eight feet high. and imme- ditely disappeared in the woods.

DEATH FOLLOWED
 SIGNING OF DEED Charles F. Scholfield of MontvilIe, AL most a Centenarian, Passed Away Monday.

Just as he had made the last stroke of the pen which attached his sigma ture to a deed that transferred some of his property to the Massasoit Mfg. Co.,, Charles F. Scholfield, one of the oldest residents of the town of Mont vile, passed away at his home in Oak dale Monday. Mir. Scholfield was 99 years and months of age, but he has been in fairly good health and was quite capable of transacting business.
 Monday morning Town Clerk Charles N. Chappeu was called to witness the deeds that transferred the property. Percy Palmer superintendent of the Massasoit Co.'S mill, took the town official to Mr. Scholfield's home in his automobile. MT. Scholfeld seemed to be in his usual health and discussed the terms of the sale intellgently. The dead was read over and finding ev- erything to his satisfaction he at- tached his signature. He had written the last letter when a change passed over his face Town Clerk Chappell grasped the aged man in his arms and strengthened him up. There was another gasp and death had ensued.
 A hurry call was sent to Dr. Will son, who decided that death was due to the unusual excitement caused by me sale or the property, dllnougn NIT. Scholfield did not give any evidence of being unusually disturbed until the sudden change came.
 MT. Scholfield was one of the pioneer woolen manufacturers in this part of the country. He began business on the OXoboXo stream long before many of the present mills were built and kept up his activities until long after 1 the allotted span of life had passed. He manufactured satinets and other
 goods and in the old days was ire quent visitor to this city, where he found a ready market for a part of 1 his goods.
 He was a kindly old man, who re- l tained his faculties to a wonderful degree He owned a considerable amount of property in Montville, and
 was highly esteemed as business mar
 of high ideals and of sterling integ-
 rity.
