pr. Dwight Tracy, genealogical ex- pert and authority, now visiting here, is engaged this year upon a unique work upon his annual visit to the city of his ancestors Through his interest in the preservation of things old and of his toricaI vaIue he Is engaged under the auspices of the Society Of the Founders of Norwich in making collection, which the Founders shall own.
 The idea of such a collection and plan was suggested to the society by Dr. Tracy, and it will give them, he says, place unique among historical societies. and will preserve for the fu- ture an invaluable record of the houses still extant that date back to the early days of Norwich.
 pr. Tracy has already been at his work some little time and has taken pictures of about fifty houses in Nor wich most of them the old settlers, but more modern houses are included as well, if it Is the wish of anyone in terested to see that they are included. They will be old in time, and in the course of years will be part of the historical records of the town.
 Equipped with a camera which is we'll nigh perfect in all it's facilities, Dr. Tracy takes a 4x5 picture of the houses, and this is enlarged in a sepia print of about 12x15. It is these en- Engagements which will be placed in binders, thus forming the collection of the Founders society, which will be kept in a. vault until possibly some time in the future the Founders may have 8 building or other repository of their own where such articles could be kept.

VIM. j. o'sRiEN's BODY
 FOUND IN MoNTvlLLE
He Has Been Missing Since June 9th Wandered Away From Home De- spondent

Six weeks of suspense in regard to the whereabouts of William J. O'Brien who disappeared from his home 12 Avery street, on June 6, were ended on Thursday morning when his body was found In a moving lot on the farm of Stephen Parker in Montville center. The discovery was made by Edwin ComStock, who went into the lot just acros the road from the Parker home with moving machine about 8 o. clock to cut the grass for MT. Parker On his first trip around the field, he saw the clothing of man near the adjoining woodlot, about 100 yards from the highway and closer fnspec- tion disclosed the fact that the clothing covered the skeleton of a man. MT ComStOck went to the Parker house with his news and Julian Parker, son of Stephen Parker telephoned to med ical Examiner Morton E. Fox, of Montville. In his turn, pr. Fox, after viewing the remains, informed the po- lice and Chief Linton got in touch with the O'Brien family in this city A son and daughter went down to the Parker farm and identified the cloth ing, as we'll as the hair and teeth, as belonging to their father.
 Temporary ,derangement of mind was the reason given as the reason for MT. OBrien's strange disappear ance from the city on Friday, June G.
 
 part by the care of his motherless fam fly of six children. Up until Monday, June 2, MT. O'Brien had worked at his customary place as temperer in the forging room of the International Sil- yer Company. where for twenty years he had been found a trustworthy and capable employee. His family and friends could not account for his ab- sence. A day or two after leaving Norwich he was reported by George F. Nolan at the stony Brook reservoir headed toward Te1fingwell. He made no response when Mr. Nolan saIuted him. Later he called at the GalIivan house, and asked for something to eat, but while food was being prepared for him, members of the family appeared Tn sight and MT. O'Brien walked away without eating. Montville people say that MT. OBrien was seen in that town on several days early in June. The probabilities are that, worn out by his wanderings and weakened by lack of food. he had cast himself down in the field for a sleep that he knew no walk ing. The medical examiner was of the opinion that the man died a natural death. The face was upward and the skull had separated from the trunk. Alter over a month of exposure the body was extremely decemposed It. was removed to this city Thursday af- ternoon bS Undertaken Hourigan
 MT. -O'B Brien was born in Norwich 43 years ago. the son of Dennis J. O. Brien, who died August 5, 1912 He married Bridget Sullivan on Nov. '. 1891 and she died Jan. s, 1907 There are six children, all at home William.

DOGS KILL SHEEP
 IN TOWN OF CANTERBURY.
37 Belonging to Charles s. Hyde Were
 Lost

Former Representative Charles s. Hyde of the town of Canterbury has reported to the authorities of his town that 57 valuable sheep owned by him were killed by dogs on July 13. The destruction of these sheep serves to call attention to one of the main diff cultie5 which are encountered by those who are engaged in wool raising in this state, says the Hartford Times. At ire quent sessions of the general assembly the matter has been the subject Of earnest discussion.
 The natural antipatily which some dogs have for sheep is the cause of the trouble. At the session of 1911 the law was changed to permit the killing of dogs found worrying or chasing sheep It was hoped that this permission would be found an effect i've remedy and that owners of dogs would take steps to keep the animals from molesting sheep. But it is evil dent that the hope has not been real iZed. Sheep continue to be the vic tins of the destructive propensities of some dogs. and the wool raising in dustry of the state, which should re- ceive every encouragement, is serious ly handicapped
 It can be stated on the authority of gentlemen engaged in wooden manu- featuring in the state that wool rais ing in Connecticut can be made a profitable industry if it is given fair chance. The statement which Senator Angus Park of the town of Sprague made in the senate at the session of 1911 on wool raising in Connecticut showed the possibilities of the indus try. Senator Park spoke as a wooden manufactures He told his colleagues in the senate that it was possible to grow a superior grade of wool in this state and that Connecticut f1eeces could always command a market Sen ator Park urged the necessity of pro- tecting sheep from the ravages of dogs.

Throughout the preceding days they have been drilled first by squads, then by companies and after that in battalions on the requirements of infantry troops in actual warfare and tomorrow will be given a chance to put their acquired knowledge to the test.
 Under a burning sun. hardly re- lieved by the faint breath of air that occasionally blew over the camp the militiamen hiked out again Thursday morning to the hill some three miles away where on Wednesday they put in battalion drill went through the maneuvers again. the officers and in structors going a little more into de- tail and pointing out defects. The work was in the nature of last try out.
 Governor Baldwin, accompanied by his staff and the camp staff, followed the troops in an automobile and watched the maneuvers with evident interest. He had enjoyed his nights rest under the tent on the camp ground, and took a keen interest in the camp doings.
 Governor Baldwin left camp in the afternoon and declared himself as very faVorably impressed with the guards men. Before leaving, he mounted a horse and rode some distance about the camp. The governor said there was a vast improvement in the National Guard since the time he was mem Der of Company F--the New Haven Grays-twenty or more years ago. He was particularly impressed with the Signal corps.
 Early Thursday afternoon the mill itiamen left camp in heavy marching order on the seven mile hike. only enough men being left behind for nec- essary guard duty. The troops will spend the night under shelter tents in the vicinity of the lake. The exact positions of the contending forces will not be known generally until they clash.

A. retired, will be chief umpire. The maneuVers are expected to be over by noon so that the troops will re- turn to the camp some time in the afternoon
 The Connecticut National Guard, di- vided up into two armies-the Red and the Blue-were biYoucked Thurs day in the hills some miles from Mi antic, preparatory to sham battle to- day. The Blue army, composed of the Second regiment and First Separate company left camp in the afternoon and marched three miles or more in a southerly direction. The men were supplied with haversack rations only, each man cooking his own meals. Shel- ter tents-facetiously called napkin tents-were pitched, and outposts were placed, as in real warfare

Discrimination in Punishment

young man who had stolen $Sfo0o his employers by well arranged system of concealing his operations sentenced in California Satur- day seven years in state prison. This again calls attention the wide which the of that state have in imposing punishment for rcontcs and suggests need of a reorganization of the state code of criminal procedure
 on this same subject writer in cNchanr. said only the other day: "l know # prorc~ein crook. a man thoroughly familiar wita court pro ccdure. who sent back San Quentin fo1 his tenth offence, with sentence year. He had served nine previous sentences for felony. | know another who back the seventh time with sentence of two years. know five youths all under twenty-one years f age who were sentenced to fifty years each for their offence, p.rticu- larly atrocious robbery had been committed in th" community and they the minor offenders, used examples"
 Assuming these startling statements warranted by facts California has much learn in criminal jurisprudence from the youngest state in the union, Here. have a mor" method of discplinirg youthful misdemearants and for less than year it has exercised with good results in the juvenile court.
 The experiment tndctcrntnato sentences is also working satisfactorily in this state and it is confidently hoped that with it's humane provisions wisely administered. the law will result in the formation of many first offenders, thus saving them to lives of usefulness
