Leland Green Extineuished Fire.
SHEA BROTHERS GOOD LOSERS.
Brave Conduct Under Heavy Flow Wins Admiration-Hope Now to Save One third of Ice Stock.

Nothing but words of admiration are heard on all sides for the Shea Broth CTS. Notwithstanding their heavy loss Sunday afternoon, they were on deck with their ice teams Monday morning. They with several men were at the location of the fire all Sunday night, working to save all the ice possible. Out of the house full, in the neighbor- hood of 5000 tons, they will salvageaa little above a third in marketable product The difficulty which con- fronts them now is to keep it in fair condition and prevent the enormous waste by melting on account of 1mper- feet packing. All around the sides of the big pile holes were melted into it. where the layers joined, from six to ten feet. MT. Shea thinks it can be made to last longer by building a ing the sides with hay. The stop will then be covered with hay and boards 10 keep out as much as possible the neat and rain. This scheme is thought 10 be better than to undertake to move it and repack it in the old Lewis house 200 feet away.
 investigation as to the cause of the fire has produced no evidence to dis prove the original theory that the care leSsness of some smoker was reponsi- ole. The Idea expressed by some Sun day that if might have been of incen- diary origin is secuted by everybody generally, as there could be no possible Brothers havd no i enemies. e 'ie Ae
 Work will begin as soon as possible to rebuild modern houses that will be ready to accommodate next winters harvest. During the latter part of last winter, when the outlook in this section for securing ice was exceed lngly dubious, the Shea Brothers had one of their houses full of ice in fine condition, left over from the cut of 1912. They were offered by Norwich firm SS,000 in cash for this ice, and an additional $4,000 to haul it to the rail- road station as it was wanted. It looked like no ice for Jewett City and the offer.

 Brilliant Summer Blooms.
 Travellers up and down the trolley line from Plainfield to Taftville are getting glimpses here and there of the brilliant orange blossoms of butterfly weed or pleurisy root, asclepias tube rosa. Mrs. Dana says of it: Few if any of our native plants add more to he beauty of our midsummer land- 5cape than the milkweeds. and of this amify no member is more satisfying 10 the colorioving eye than the gor- ! seous butterfly weed whose vivid fiows sr clusters flame from the dry sandy nea dows with such luxuriance of growth as to seem almost tropical Its gay coloring has given the plant the lame of butterfly weed, while that of oleurisy root arose from the belief that ' Is root was remedy for pleurisy. l The Indians used it as food and made l crude sugar from it's flowers; the l Toung seed pods they boiled and ate 1 with buffalo meat
