the annual meeting Of the sssocistion
which WAS held in the court house last
Saturday afternoon when the officers
for the coming year were elected. The
celebration will come at the close Of the
summer session Of the Normal school
There was considerable discussion re-
gsrding the holding of the celebration
three afternoons instead of two days rs
in previous years, but by vote it was
decided that the old plan of two days
celebration would be followed out this
year.
There was little change in the officers.
c. I. Stevens was elected president of
the association. The other officers Of
the association are r. ID. Mckee, vice
president; G. L. Anderson, secretary.
w. W. Mckee, treasurer; and George
Hetherington, attorney. The advisory
board is composed of representatives
from the various stock growing sections
of the county and the personnel is:
Richard vsder, Tomichi Valley; Frank
Comstock, East River valley; Gail
meore, Ohio Creek: C. d. Kinney,
. GSHsisN end Cebolla. The forest cd
visory board is composed of T.W. Gray.
A. H. Hiser, T.. A. Foster and H. S.
Bartlett.
1t is said that it is the practice of the
association for the president to appoint
the committee to take charge of Cattle
mems Day. This committee has not as
yet been announced by president
Stevens.
T. W. Gray, chairman of the forest
advisory board, reported that an appli-
cation had been made to Craze sheep on
the Gunnison Forest Reserve and that
Supervisor Kreutzer of the reserve had
turned down the application.
There was considerable discussion in
the meeting regarding the securing of
a license under the state law to conduct
horse races and it was decided that it
was unnecessary to secure such a
license since the stock growers associa-
ton was not an Incorporated organza-
ton for the purpose of conducting such
races.
There was some feeling that in spite
of the fact, license should be secured
in order to get the advertising which it
would bring.

COMMIT TWO CRIMES
Simon Kaminsky Assaulted in His Barn
Office of Dean Pin Factory Broken Into

The police and large number of citizens of the north end of the city united in a hunt for some men who had made an assault on Simon ka. misky in his barn on Providence street shortly after o'clock Friday night with the probable purpose of robbery and for the same men or others who had broken into the office of the Dean Pin Factory, which is about half a mile from the place of the hold.up The search was kept up until midnight but without result. The only clew is half pint bottle and cap dropped by one of the men during the seullie in the kamisky barn.
 kamIsky keeps a store on Provi- dence street and also runs "a peddler's wagon which he keeps tn barn across the way. According to his story he went over to the barn shortly after 9 o'clock and went upstairs to get some grain for his horse. When he reached the bottom of the stairs on his return two men sprang out of the darkness and attempted to throw him down. They were unarmed and assaulted him with their fists and attempted to cover his mouth. He struggled and shouted as loud as he could for help. His out cries frightened the men and they ran leaving the half pint bottle and dark red cap on the barn floor, kamisky could give but meager description oi the men. He thinks they were young be stout. Patrolman Cordier, who covers the beat where the assault oc. cured, had just gone to the police sta tion. He was notified and the captain, who Is oil duty nights, was also noti. fled, and with Sergeant Hayes and large number of citizens the search was begun. The north end was thoroughly covered and every man known to wear cap in any way similar to the one dropped was interviewed.
 While the search was in progress word was received that the office of the Dean Pin Factory had just been broken into. A light was seen in the office by a man who lives nearby and when he went down there he discovered that the place had been ransacked, drawers pulled open and papers thrown about. Mir. Dean, who was notified, could not find that anything had been taken ex. cept an old cap. A railroad employe told the police he SAW q man running across a field ill tie direction of Provi- dence street.
 The fact that one of Kamisky's as saiants lost his cap and that cap of the same size was taken from the pin factory shows pretty conclusively that the men who made the assault were the same ones that made the break. The cap taken from the factory was an old one and had considerable grease on the front of it. An officer who came here from Plainiield looking for some men Saturday afternoon told of seeing .man with such cap on near Gen. tral Village. No cap of the style left behind has been sold from any Put nam store.

Word from England

Nelson Mansfield Of Putnam, who went to London several weeks ago, writes friends at home that the voyage was an uneventful one. He left Boston and the ship put into Halifax for load of horses. They sailed without light.
 He says: "in Putnam the war seems a long way of but here il seems reality. The streets are full of soldiers, English, Canadian, Belgian, High flanders, etc, and everywhere you see signs calling for another half million volunteers. They sli feel confident of victory but all fear Zeppelin attack and the city Is almost in darkness at night. Autos have only one side light burning low, all trains have to keep blinds drawn and what street lights there are are shaded from above. shops display signs stating that there are no Germ ans employed. The only difficult iy was getting by the custom officers as they are very diiligent in their search for spies

MOTORCYCLE
 ACCIDENT
Machine Carrying Two Hits Wagon.
 Both Hurt
Machine Damaged. State Road Fence
 Torn Down

Willard Place, son of Mir. and Mrs. C. W. Place, West Glocester, R. L., was taken to Providence hospital Saturday evening as the result of a motorcycle accident at the foot of a hill in East Putnam, east of the George and Nellie Arnold place.
 Place was driving the machine and sad as his passenger Joseph Montie. The machine had gained considerable speed going down the hill when sud denly lumber wagon driven by Frank humes loomed up a short dis tanee ahead out of the darkness. Place tried to turn out but the machine struck one ot the wagon wheels with a crash and both riders were thrown over the fence into the brush. Humes took the two young men home and 1t was found that Place had sustained a broken leg and probably internal in- juries. Montie escaped with numer. GUS cuts and bruises. The large chest. nut posts that hold the fence rails be- side the highway were broken off de- noting the force of the impact.
 shortly after the accident happened an automobile came along and seeing the broken fence and damaged ma chine thought someone was hurt and possibly lying beside the road. The driver stopped and with n flash light began searching the brush beside the road. Other autos came along and soon four machines were stopped and all the occupants engaged in the search in the dark not knowing that the rider had been taken away.

SUFFRAGE NOTES
Successful Meeting in Upper Wards
Sermon on Suffrage by Rev. Mir. Stubbert

A successful suffrage meeting was held in St. Johns hall Tuesday even- ing under the auspices of the Putnam Equal Franchise League. Dr. 0mer LaRue acted as chairman of the meet ing. Miss Alyse Gregory of Norwalk spoke in French on the fundamental justice of the suffrage cause. An ex- cellent musical program followed: Violin and piano
 Misses Ruth and Gertrude Plessis Piano solo Miss Gertrude PIessis vocal solo, George Bourne secompan-
 jed by A. Wood at the piano.
 After the music Miss Gregory dis eussed the suffrage question Tn Eng fish. Miss Rosamond Danielsen of Putnam Heights and Mrs. .sW. J. Bart lett, president of the Putnam League, also spoke briefly on different phases of the subject. New members were ad- ded to the League.
 Sunday evening large audience lis- tened with deep interest to a stirring address delivered at the Baptist church bs Rev. John R. Stubbert on the en- franchisement of women. He pref aced his lecture byethe statement that no one had requested him to speak on the subject of suffrage, though one well.meaning soul had warned him not to do so. But since be had ever falf nF At,fx n stand for the truth at all times, he con- sidered it both an obligation and a privilege to speak upon a question of such national importance and moral significance.
 MT. Stubbert has been requested by the Suffrage League ito repeat the ad- dress in Odd Fellows hall that all who choose may have the opportunity to hear so clear and eloquent an exposi- tion of the subject. He will go to Hartford while the legislative assem- bly, is in session to use his influence there in the suffrage cause.
 In other times the church has too often refused it's recognition to hu- manitarian movements,of non. secta- rian nature until they have become too popular or powerful 10 be ignored. Expediency rather than spiritual fear lessness, prejudice and silence rather than inquiry and freedom Of speech have been it's policy and weakness. Let us trust that it is not so now, and here today as never before, more of the spirit of a live christianity and less of the letter are needed.
 DOROTHY J. BARTLETT, President of Putnam Equal Franchise
 League.

DEADLOCK BROKEN
Principal Elected for Tourtellotte Higk
 School
Principals House and Janitor's House
 Accepted by the Town

The deadlock over the choice of principal for the Tourtellotte Memorial High school of Thompson, which has resulted in that institution being with out a principal since the opening of school last September, has broken as R. NJ. Bellows of Meadyille, Pa, has been elected. The deadlock came over an attempt to re.elect Principal c. w. Hathaway, who had been at the head of the school since It was first opened. Mrs. Jacob iourtellotte of Minneapo- lis, enc of the donors of the fund with which the school was built, favored MT. Hathaway and urged his re cleo ton, in various letters threatening to withhold further donations unless her wishes were complied with. A special town meeting WAS held and largely at- tended and a vote was passed request ing the school board to elect Mir. Hath away. Not long thereafter Mrs. Tour tellotle made visit to Thompson and 1t is understood that after she had talked with memssSrs of the school and others she practically withdrew her support from Mr. Hathaway and left the matter entirely for the school board to decide.
 The new principal had the anani- nous vote Of the commmittee. Ala town meeting Wednesday the town voted to accept the principals house, building and grounds and the janitor's house, building and grounds, for the use of the principal and janitor of the school, the gift of Mrs. Tonrtellotte.

Alive or Dead, Deer Property of State
Attorney General Light Gives Opinion 10
 Fish and Game Commission

Dead or alive the ownership of deer is vested in the state, according to the opinion of Attorney General J. II. Light given to the state fish and game commission. The opinion Is, in part;
 "The ownership of every deer, or the carcass of deer, is in the state. Such ownership does not belong to the state as proprietor, but rather in its capaci- ty, and as the representative of all the people in common, and for their bene- it. Every one has the natural right to pursue and take deer, unless res trained from doing so by some express provision of the law, and one who seized such an animal became it's own- CT. But the legislature of this state has made 1t unlawful to pursue and take any deer until after the first of June, l9l7."
 This definition of the law came about through case in Wiudham county a short time ago, when man, finding lead deer, took possession of it and carried 1t 10 his home Learning of the circumstance, the game warden for the territory informed the man that he had no right to the carcass, in that it was the property of the state. The man who had possession of the deer did not coincide with the opinion of the game warden.
 To definitely determine ownership in the case and, as a mstter Of future guidance, an opinion was sought from the attorney general by Superintend- ent J. N Wsdhams of the fish and game department.
