LOADED SHELL FOUND.
Discovered by Boys in River-Probahly
 Stolen from Some Armory.

Capt John Murray is anxious to as- certain how a large number of loaded rife shells came to be in the river close to the bridge at Harrisville. Cap- tain Murray has more than 100 of the shells in his pos session and has infor nation as to the whereabouts of an other quantity.
 BUys who were fishing in the vicinity of the bridge discovered the shells which from their appearance had been in the water only a short time. They met with some difficulty in getting them out of the water, but were in- terested to lhy point of performing the arduous task
 Most of the missiles are of the type used by United States marines, but there are a few of the 40-70 w. R. A.. type. It is surmised that the ammu- milton, the most of which was in clips of five, was stolen from some armory. An investigation at Danielson proves that it was rot taken from the state armory there, so the next guess is that 1t came from some armory in one of the MaSsa aChusetts towns where there are organizations of state troops.
 Captain Murray has learned that some of the ammunition is in the hands of boys that have been experi- menting as .u best methods of unload ing the shells and from some of the processes they have tried 1t seems miracle that the youngsters have not been seriously injured as the result Of explosions. The boys have promised to bring in all of the shells and give them up to the police

FOUR COUNTY
COM ISStONERS,
Governors Democratic Appointee Qualities, But Republican Incumbent Will Not 1 cave.

This first day of October the county of Windham has four county commits sionerS, in fact if not officially, and will continue so to have until a court decision is reached on the point at ls- Sue-aS to whether Governor Baldwin had the authority to appoint success ors to those mmissioners in various counties of the state whose terms eN- pire Oct. 1 and who failed of joint approval by the house and senate at the last session of the general assem- bly,.
 County Commissioner E. H. COrttis of ThUmpSJu was one of these, the re- publican house approving his nomlna- tion, the democratic senate turning It down in favor of Lebbeus E. Smith Of Putnam, who has since been named by the governor to fill MT. COrttis' place. and within q few days has qualified to fill the office posting the necessary bond. In the meantime MT. CorttlS IS holding on t" his commissionership.
 However. the situation is not in the least d strained one in this county. When the county commissioners go to the jail at Brooklyn today for their regular monthly meeting Mir smith will go along with them.. by invitation of the present commissioners, and will have an equal part in the deliberations of the board. This is by an agreement that will be continued in force until the decision in the Hartford commis- sionership contest, similar in every way to the Windham county one. is reached, and then either MT. COrttis or MT. Smith Will retire in accordance with the decision.
 MT. Smith said Tuesday afternoon that he had talked the situation over with Mir Corttis, who says that he wants MT. Smith to have the office If it belongs to him, but also wants to keep it for himself if it is rightfully his.
 During the time that the four com missioners are serving the understand ing is that no action will be taken on any important matter on which MT Smith asks postponement until a decision is reached on the commission ership contests.
 This is the first time, as far as any one here can remember that the coun- tv has had four active commissioners, and the unique situation is proving of considerable interest. All is entirely friendly among all of the commission CTS. so the&irterests of the county will not suffer in tho least while decision as to which one of two of them is to so is pending.

 Foot Bridge Unsafe.
 Those who have had occasion re- gently to cross the foot bridge over the Assawauga river, near the state armory, must commend the patience of residents in the RiVerview section for using the structure in it's present deplorably riclzety condition without making complaint Sagged and twist 6u, WIIA SOLl6 OI US pIiutlpd1 SuppOl L. ing timbers torn from their end fasten- ings. it has, in sections, more of the appearance of a scenic railway than a sturdy structure that one would eX- pect to find in use al such a place.
 Twenty five years ago the now well built up section of the borough known as Riverview was not much more than pasture and garden ground. The build ing of the foot bridge referred to was undoubtedly the means of developing this quarter of DanieIsOn and now that the development has come the feel ing is that it would be no more than reasonable to give the property owners and borough builders a bridge worthy of the name The present bridge is falling to pieces. It has outliVed the greater part of it's serviceableness. It can be made by urgently needed re- pairs to do further service, of course, but so can an old pair Of shoes that are crumbling apart.
 One would hesitate to take stranger across 1t for feak that he might con- slider it unsafe, bit the Riverview peo- pie cross over it day after day with out complaining openly of the really dangerous condition of the structure. The replacing of this bridge has been talked of from time to time for several years, but nothing has ever come of the discussion The least that can be done for the Riverview people and at once is to repair the bad places in the bridge.
