At the municipal band concert giv- en by Tubbs band on Union square Monday evening there was a good siS- ed crowd, not the equal in numbers, perhaps. but fully as enthusiastic as those at the previous entertainments of this nature. This was the final con- cert of the season. On account of the cold Monday evening many people stayed at home. but still the sidewalks were crowded and there were many about the bandstand, which was locat= ed in the center of the square There were a number of autos standing on the square during the concert.
 An entertaining programme of eight numbers, lasting an hour and half. was rendered under the direction of Leader Frank E. King. One esyecial- ly pleasing number was Alma, Where Do You Live?

Ilnknnun Man Identified

The man killed by a train on the Midland division at Modoc ledges, two miles west of the city, about ten days ago, who was buried unidentified in the town Of Pomfret, after being held for two days at the undertahng' rooms of L. F. smith in this city, WAS Fred erick D. Johnson, q, Of Colchester.
 Positive Identification of the dead man was made Saturday by w. C.. sherman, stepfather of Johnson, and ex. Representative Charles II. Dawley, both of Colchester. Town Clerk Will lis Govell of Pomfret issued the per init for the exhumation oi the body. The Colchester men were certain after viewing the mangled remains that they were those of Johnson. Arrange ments were at once started for removal ot the remains to Colchester, where they were sent by train from the Pom- fret station late in the day.
 Johnson was killed early in the morning of Friday, June '. He left Colchester on the Wednesday before that date, having given up place on q farm where he received S25 a month, and announced to his brother that he was going railroading. Little infor- nation of his movements is obtainable covering the time from his departure from Colchester to the finding of his body at Modoc ledges, but it is sup posed that he first went to Williman- tic and was making his way from that city to Putnam, where many railroad men find employment, when his life was crushed out by 4 night freight.
 He was rated a good worker, and the fact that he met his death in such a tragic manner came as great shock to his relatives, who were first led to believe that he was killed from de- seriplions of the unidentified unfortu- nate contained in newspaper accounts of the accident.

Putnam Fishermen Arrested

Three Putnam men to whom court appearance as defendants was new eX Xpefience, were presented before Dep uty Judge James N. Tucker in the town court, Danielson, Monday morn ing. The men were Daniel F.. Will Hams, Byron Warren and Jake Bar den, and each was charged with hay- ing lished on sunday, without permis- sion Of the owner or persons in charge of the property, on the George II. Wheaton pond, above Attawaugan. The men at first pleaded not guilty, but later changed the pleas to guilty.
 Judge Tucker heard what they had to say about the affair before giving his decision to discontinue the cases during good behavior, the money pen alty asked by the court being to meet only the actual costs to the town, amounting in the case Of Warren to s4.S4, and in the other two cases To S4.94 each. The men paid.
 The statement to the court by Vii Hams, corroborated by Warren and Barden, was interesting. The three men left Putnam late Saturday night to come to the Wheaton pond in Kill lingly, on A fishing trip. When they arrived at the pond they found the embers of fire on the shore and gath cred around 1t. Their first try at fish Ing was not a success and they thought they would go home, but decided, on oecount of the darkness of the night, that 1t would be difficult to find their way out, so determined to lie down on some plank and sleep until daylight.
 According to Williams they were in repose, some asleep, when they were confronted by man who showed re- Volver before them and told them they were under arrest The man, Will Hams said, was Ralph Tracy. Will Hams related lo the court how, after some barley, they were told that the wisest thing for them to do was settle at once, but they had no money to do so. Tfacy, keeping them covered, thereupon, as Williams told the story, marched them Co the Wheaton home, where dr. Wheaton was aroused, us was also Scott Tripp, living at the place. Williams said that MT. Whea- ton did not appear anxious to punish them, but alter some talk Mir. Tripp told Tracy to take the Putnam men to Deputy sheriff Grimshaw aa Attawau- gan, which he did, delivering them about 1 a, m. sunday.
 The Putnam men easily secured n bond for their release later in the day.
 James Nj. Fatem, a prominent raan- ufaeiurer of Putnam, bondsman for the men and the employer of one of them, also made statement to the court, denouncing in severe terms the manner in which the men had been intimidated with a gun by Tracy and entered plea for leniency for them. Tracy is a earetaker of the pond, II is> said.
 In passing on the matter before him Judge Tucker said: "In its inception it was more of an attempt, In my opin- ion, to extort money than to serve any ends of right or justice"
