JAMES RICHARD Died Early Sunday Morning Age 7S. The Younger oi inc Riokard
 Boys

Funeral services for James Riekard, 7s years old, ef pomfret, one of the Riekard aboys," was held Tuesday at the home, Rev. George D. Stanley Of the Putnam Methodist church otiiciat- ing, Burial was Tn Grove street eeme- tery.
 The death of James leaves his older brother, George, who Is s2, the sole survivor of a family of four children. The Rickard ,boys were born in the house where they have lived and where James has just died. Neither boy WAS ever married and they have led the lives of recluses, never going anywhere or seeing anyone. They started in as mere lads 10 save their pennies and although they never left the old farm they are estimated to be worth from Si25 ,Oo0 to $i5o, 900, most of which Is said to be In savings banks and mortgages. Up to eight years ago their sister kept house for them. After her death they lived all alone, doing tutlE 0Nn StthtiR a't A'hsN ''Sf 'Ns . stN farm, a fine one of ten or more acres, has run down and for years past there has never been seen signs Of life about the little story and half house which sets near the road, past which all travel 10 Poinfret street goes. The green blinds are tightly drawn and nothing Of life has been seen about the place. Occasionally Brother George would make a trip to Putnam to buy meagre supplies and bring along a thousand or two dollars in his shabby clothes and deposit it in local banks. The boys were known to everybody in this section. Besides owning the ten acre farm where they were born Il Is said that they own all of thousand acres of land, some of 1t valuable tim- Der land, in Pomfret, and hold mort gages on much more. About eight weeks ago their nephew, Everett 1 Hyde of Danielson, their sole surviv- ing relative, put man md his wife on the place to look out for the boys who were getting feeble. MT Hyde is heir to the Rickard fortune.

Mystery Play at POmfret

The Mystery Play of the Nativity, which is an annual feature of the Christmas season in Pomfret, was giV- en ,on Tuesday evening in .Pomfret hall. This is revival of the miracle play of medieval England, which de- veloped from the church ceremonial, and is an event of purely devotional nature. As in the Passion Play of oberammergsu, the same actors, so far as possible, assume each succeeding year the roles of Mary, Joseph, the Magi, the Shepherds, and the Angelic Host. The play was given by the Pomfret Neighborhood Association and was free to all who desired to wit ness it.
