Shippee will celebrate the gold en anniversary of their wedding, and with them will be their six children, all resident in Putnam, their grand children and the many friends who will be so happy to extend them congratu- lations on rounding out half a century of welded life.
 MT. and Mrs. Shippee were married at the meeting house at Putnam Heights fifty years ago. just a few days after the famous battle of Gettys- burg and at time when excitement was running high in the country on &C., count of the terrible strife of arms Since that time, when what is now a part of Putnam was section of the town of Thompson, they have lived here, enjoying good health, the fullest of fellowship and friendliness from a great circle of friends and have watch ed the growth of the city from the hamlet of half a century ago.
 Caleb Whittemore Shippee was born in the town of Foster, R. L, 71 years ago, the son of MT. and Mrs Wheat on Shippee and came to what is now Putnam when he was three weeks old, and as he stated it Tuesday q have been here ever since" Mrs. Shippee, in her 69th year, is a Killingly woman, Ellen Elvina Adams, the daughter of MT. and Mrs. Wheaton Adams.
 Since their marriage they have lived on what is known here as Shippee hill, a part of Putnam that is named after MT. Shippees family.

 Of late years he has been employed at the freight transfer of the New Ha- ven road here and Is at his work eV- cry day hale and hearty and fit for more active and strenuous years. MT. Shippee is a kindly gentleman and happy today In the realization that with Mrs. Shippee he has completed a half hundred years of married life.
 Five dollars would cover all the ex- pense that I have ever been to for doc- tors in all my life" he said Tuesday, me they would have to go out of busi- ness. 1 have been blessed with good health" Mrs. Shippee he said, has all so been fortunate in health up to with in recent years, when she has suffered somewhat from rhuematism.

Three Young Bandits Taken To State
 Prison Drasco Confesses That
 Stolen Revolver Was Hidden in Tick
 at Cell at Police station-Loaded Gun Found There.
 On Tuesday Sheriff Preston B. Sibley and Deputy Sheriff Michael Grimshaw, Attawaugan, took from the jail at Brooklyn to the state prison at Wetn- ersiield, Toni Russell, Thomas Drasco and Toni Rasler, the three young ban d1ts who held up Nelson Leclair at his home on Park street on the morning or March 31. In connection with the removal of the prisoners, sentenced at the last term of the superior court to serve from one to three years in the state prison, there was an interesting development
 When the three desperates entered the Leclair home each had a revolver and when they left they took along Le- cia1r's, which they found in his room, were captured by Deputy Sherltf Grimshaw at Attawaugan this fact was known to him, but when the men were searched at the local police station only three revolvers could be found One fellow explained this by saying that he had thrown one of the re- volvers iatof the brush near Attawau- gan and tbzS statement was accepted as true.
 Tuesday while riding along with the prisoners Grimshaw asked Drasco what he had really done with the re- volver and the prisoner, after being as- sured that he would not be further punished if he gave the desired infor nation, said that the officer would find it in the little tick in cell No. 3. in the Putnam police station.
 When MT. Grimshaw got back to 1Dr1 1frasa ry.I- .l- E1,1 police station and after getting in touch with Captain Murray the little tick from No. 3 was brought out into the office and searched. In the filling the gun was found, fully loaded Dras co also explained that the weapon hid den at the police station was Nelson Leclair's, and this also proves to be true.
 Drasco said in talking about hiding the weapon that he considered this evidence that he was not a real bad man, pointing out the fact that he had chance to kill one of the officers if he desired to do so after he had been locked in his cell.
 He explained how he managed to get by the officers with the gun when they were searching him by saying that he had slipped 1t down inside his trousers, but not in the legs thereof.
 Since Drasco occupied the cell where lne sun was nluOen a numDef or Otnef prisoners have been held there, but no one Of them nor the officers in charge suspected that the revolver was concealed in the bedding so cleverly had it been put away by the cunning prisoner
 With the three prisoners mestioned four others were taken from the jail at Brooklyn to Wethersfield, a total of seven, the men having been held at Brooklyn since early in the spring on account of the crowded condition of the state institution.
