 Helped Down Dorr's Rebellion.
 A noteworthy visitor at the fair was Palmer Brown of Voluntown, 93 years of age, who. was greeted warmly by scores of his former fellow towns men of North Stonington and of his large acquaintance through this sec ton. In reminiscent mood MT. Brown recalled the time in 1842 when he tramped all through South King ston in a single day and aroused the members of the state militia, in which he was an officer, preparatory to start ing to subdue Doris rebellion in Providence. The nonogenarian is ac- tive of limb and has bright and cheery word for all he meets.
 Found Indian Relic.
 An Indian relic, stone cut around the middle so that 1t could be tied on as weight for fishing nets, was pick. ed up on the grounds Friday by Secre- tary Kendall. A number of other In- dian traces have been found before in the fair enclosure.
 Pickpoekets at Work.
 In the big crowd of Thursday there were pickpockets at work, according to complaints made later by several men, but the thefts seemed to have oc- cured at the car station and not at the fair grounds. Chauncey Pendleton of Preston claimed to have lost $90 in bills, and man named Chapman missed some checks and a small sum of money. Latham Bentley of White Rock lost $8. Another man said he l had lost $200, but later he found it at home
