Norwich Automobile Party Home from
 Rochester Convention.

Home from what for a week has been the center of I1lkdOm, the six Norwich Elks who made the trip to the big convention in Rochester by automobile reached Norwich on Sunday evening at o'clock, reporting seven days filled with none but the most pleasurabie incidents. Excellent roads for touring, hospitable reception from brother Elks and townspeople in the conven- tion city, fauitless weather were some of the things that brought about a winning combination for the travellers. They have unstinted praise for the smoothness with which the big parade and other events of the week were car- ried through and for the accommoda tions provided by the people of Roches- ter, which are making it well known as a city of big conventions. The Elks as rule are highly pleased with the selection of western city, Denver, for next years gathering.
 In the Norwich party were A. N. Carpenter, in whose car the trip of 1,1G5 miles was made without a hitch, Thomas H. Crawford, D. J. Mccormick, Alderman M H. Hourigan, Councilman Joseph F. Williams and J. H. Wilson. They left Norwich a. week ago Sunday morning at 9.30 o'clock, arriving in RQchester Monday evening at s. The return was made more leisurely. LeaV- ing Rochester Thursday afternoon they passed the night in Syracuse, continued to Albany on Friday. on to Poughkeep- sic and Danbury Saturday, and on Sunday made the remainder of the distance home.
 Throughout the trip Chauffeur Ern- est Heher was at tho wheel, and MT. Carpenters car ran without 8 bit of mechanical trouble, put on the way home they had three nleweuts and a puncture. On the two days going to In o 225 miles each day. On the way from Albany to Rochester the trip was en- lr5ened by a little speed trial that the party of Norwich EIks had with a big car of a we'll known French make. It was a race between the two from one city to the other, and the Norwich party had the satisfaction of handing their rivals a proper beating.

WATER NOW USED
 FROM TWO RESERVOIRS.
Stony Brook, city's New Supply, is
 Helping Out Fairview.

Water from tht tS-o Norwich reser- voirs-FairEiew, the old one, and Stony brook, the new one-is now running through the pipes of the city system and for the past month the water from Stony brook has been a part of the regular supply.
 At the present time Stony brook res ervoir is down 3S inches from full pond, while Fairview is down 34 inches from full pond. There are no Venturi meters on the Stony brook pipe line, so that there is no way of measuring how much is used daily from that res ervoir, although the meters are to be placed on the line later. Since the use of the Stony brook water was started there have been some leaky joints in the pipe line that have had to be tight ened up. Fairview reservoir is not dropping much now.

EMPERoR'S SON FINDS
 NORWICH GIRL ATTRACTIVE.
Berlin Report That Prince Joachim, Has Sentimental Interest in Miss Olive Huntinqton

In 3 Press Publishing company spe- eial from Berlin on Sunday the New York World had the following:
 Prince Joachim, sixth and youngest son of the German emperor, regards with somewhat sentimental interest, it Is reported. the beauty and wit of Miss Olive Huntington of Norwich, Conn.,. who is a student at the Willard school in Berlin.
 The prince is 22 and Miss Hunting ton is l7. Their acq4aintanceship be- gan last Easter season when Dr. Luce took the pupils of the Willard school on vacation to Egypt There the girls met Prince Joachim, who shares with most of his brothers a liking for the society of smart and witty American women.
 The prince was glad to sink. for the time being at least, all questions of rank, and he saw mich of the Luce party. It was rumored that affairs be- tween the German prince of royal blood and the pretty Yankee girl went so far that the two had sad hearts at part ing; but this is denied by Mrs Hunt ington.
 A little over a year ago Prince Joachim badly hurt one of his knee pans at a sham battle of the army, and since then he has been mainly off the dancing lists. He is Iimble and light hearted. He learned the trade of a smithy before he entered the army.
 Owing to his having endorsed, for friendships sake, e,notes issued by Count von Spec, who fled to Argentina, Prince Joachim was taken cut of school at Strasburg last March and was sent by the emperor on 8 Mediterranean tour. It was a sort of exile and it extended into Egypt That is how he came o make the aeauaintance of Miss Hunt ington.
 Miss Olive Huntington, who has made made the acquaintance of Prince Jea- ehim of Germany, is the only daughter of Mrs. Charming M. Huntington, whose mother, first as Miss Olive Bar stow and then as Mrs. Charles B. Platt was in the millinery business and then amassed a considerable fortune in real estate in Norwich.
 Mrs. Platt died in 1911, leaving her property to her only surviving child, Helen, widow of Charming M Hunting ton. Mrs Huntington has three chill dren-Gurdon Huntington, now in bus mess in Chicago, Miss Olive and Chan ming B. Huntington.

EFFORTS TO LOCATE
VANCE UhAVA!LInG

Chas. Vance. the aged prospector
who was lost in the Sangre de Christie
mountains between this place and
westcliffe nearly a month ago. is still
missing from his accustomed sur
roundings. He was seen last on octo-
ber Sth and since then no trace OF
him has been found. Seachers are OF
the united opinion that he is lying
dead somewhere in the eastern range.
Since the finding OF his saddle horse
and pack saddles over three weeks
ago. a continued search has been made
for the missing prospector. Until re-
Gently someone has been almost con-
stantly on the mountain trails with
the hope of locating him. Many have
given up the search now is the report.
It has been nearly two months since
the first search was made. and nearly
everyone believes that it is useless
to look further.
Little has developed that might help
in locating Vance since the finding of
his pack ate last month on lonely
trail.
The fact that nothing has been seen
of vance's two dogs which always ac-
companied him is puzzling the people
in and around Crcstone. rhey believe
that the faithful animals lave perish
cd with their master.
According 10 reports. little search
ing will be done this winter. Practic-
ally all of the mountain trails arc
said to be buried deep in tie snow.
Practically all hopes of finding Tie
prospector in the hills alive have
teen given up. 1t is the general opin-
ion that Vance Is dead in the hills
and that his body cannot be recov-
cred until the snow goes out in the
spring.-Moffat Home and Farm.

COUNTY TREASURER
SUSTAINED BY COURT

The friendly suits instituted in the
district court by George Wilson as re-
ceiver for the Florence State bank.
and by Mrs. Mary l. Yelton Of Flor
ence. for herself. and for and In be-
half of some fifty or sixty other per-
sons similarly situated. against Jona-
than Seaman as county treasurer was
on Thursday decided by Judge wiikin
in facor OF the defendant.
In this proceeding an Injunction
was asked for by the petitioners to
restrain Mr.. Seaman as county treas
urer fro mselling certain lands owned
by the plaintiffs at tax sale on which
the assessment had been paid to the
Florence State bank before its ir-
solvency and for which cashiers
checks had been RENTED TO the coun-
ty treasurer's office. These cashiers
checks. about half dozen in number
and representing sl.s7270. were for
warded to the county treasurer just
before the second half OF the taxes
for the year 1912 become delinquent
and before receipts could be made out
and mailed to the individuals directly
concerned the bank failed and the
cashiers checks in possession OF Mr..
Seaman became worthless.
The case OF Mrs. Mary L. Yelton
ct al VS.. the county treasurer was the
only one tried. the other. almost iden-
ticai with IT. consequently a hearing
o fit was unnecessary after the FIRST
complaint had been disposed OF by
the court. In concluding his opinion
Judge wiikin stated. 81 am quite
clear. gentlemen. that the Injunction
ought not TO go against the treasurer
OF the county"
Judge c. d. Bradley and J. d. Blunt
OF Florence conducted the case for
the plaintiffs. while the defense was
made by Judge ]. G. schweigert. eoun-
~ attorney.
