Is it to be Kept around just to prove that temp tation can be resisted right in the face of the tempter? Is it for medIe cfnal purposes, or for just plain, or dfnary boozing? Has someone discoy- cred that one can "get more miles per gallon" out of 1t than other kinds of iquld fuel? These are questions asked daily and constantly by persons who have heard the stories. Some of these questions may be answered within the next twelve months and those who run and read will get a copy of the answers. There is movement on toot to make killingiy a no-license town in fact as well as in name during the the coming year. Illegal selling of lquor is going to be & precarious in- uusLry-and an expensive one, No

 Mrs. Adams said she was married in New London, 1912, both parties being at that time residents of this city Soon after their marriage Adams toCE to drinking and abusing her, and go- ing about with other women. He struck her several times, and at one time threatened her life with a bottle. On this occasion John F1ippen, a neighbor, interfered At another time Adams drove his wife out of the house with a razor. They were then living on Maple, Avenue. and she fled through the rain and lightly clad to the home Of the Fhppen's on Schoolhouse lane.
 Once when Adams threatened his wife and assaulted her, he was arrest ed and received q sentence in the po- lice court. Both MT. and Mrs John Flippen corrobora1ted the plaintiff $ story, and Judge James A. Shea was put upon the stand to testify to the conviction of Adams in the police court.
 At the conclusion of these civil mat ters, States Attorney Searls announc- ed that he was ready to proceed with the balance of the criminal business, and John Lucier of killingly was the first one called. ,';.t
 Lucier, who is said to be. a. tramp weaver, had work in Attawaugan, roonains at the house of MT.

He had used up the money. It was stated to the court that Lucier was known to the Woonsocket police, and had the of having been in trouble there on account of drink. Because he submitted to arrest without extra dition papers, and pleaded guilty, he received a light sentence, one year in the county jail.

Rogers, just return ed from a 30 days hunting trip in the big game country of New Bruns- wick, a favorite annual trip of his. has added to his notable collection of tro- phies of forest and stream the most magnificent moose head he has ever secured. The spread of the horns of the antiered monarch that feif before a well placed shot, measures 56 inch es. The specimen secured Is a beauty and in due time will adorn the in- teftor of the Putnam Inn in the deco rations of which the heads of big game are conspicuous. Another member of the party in which Mir. Rogers was in- cluded secured an equally large and beautiful head.
 MT. Rogers got the moose just be- fore his party started to break camp and come home, on October Is. Dur- Ing his month in the woods he saw number of moose, but fefrained from taking any but the one that had such head and antlers as he was looking for. The great animal, which probably weighed as much as 1, 400. pounds, was still hunted by MT. Rogers. who crept upon it from out the wind and man aged to get in & killing shot.
 In addition to the moose, Mr. Rogers got caribou and deer. It was cold in New Brunswick during the partyE stay and one of the animals brought down by Mir. Rogers was taken during g. snow storm that deposited the beau tiful to the depth of i've inches over all the country where they were hunt ing.

CONNOLLY LIoNIzEn,
Featured in Parade, Theatre Gathering
 and Banquet at the Inn. 2

All that appreciative fans could do 1 to demonstrate how pleased they are over Joseph 'Connoliy's sensational climb from a coming ball player with local team seven years ago to the proud position of star member of the worlds champion Boston Braves, was done by Putnam fans Friday night in welcoming the smiling one to this city, the keys of which were literally; handed over to him. It was g. big large for Connolly accustomed as he has become to the plaudits of the scores of thousands who have raved over the great team of which he tS, a member. But this particular event was exclusively in his hono-aA for him-and he was delighted and said so, not once but many times. From the minute the Highland ex- press stopped at the station and the great outfielder. smiling his well llpbwns smile, stepped down. he was made thsd object of congratulation, The. band, played and the crowd cheered in his, honor and the process of uonizing him continued almost without interruptions throughout the evening. After the first outburst and preliminary rush Of hand. shaking a parade was formed and pro- ceeded up to the Providence street sec-l ton and back via Woodstock avenue The band played some more, red fire f1ared there were more cheers and honking of autonebile horns and gen eral hurrahs. Costunned as Indians suggestive of the Braves. a number of local men in the parade attracted much attention.
 The parade eventually found it's way back to the Bradley theater. where a big audience assembled and where rhet program was of special nature.
 Connolly, with local men, occupied a box. Hundreds of batteries of eyes wore leyeled st him from al sec tiops of the house, which during the course of the entertainment improved opportunities to cheer him again and again. especially when he was intro duced. z
 The special program arranged by Manager Selig Goldman included base bali pictures of special interest, Tea ttlre film, Hearts Adrift. with Mary Pickford, a solo by NJ. Martinefn, and a comedy rnonologue by Michael Duny.
 Following the show 10d loyal men assembled at the Putnam Inn for the banquet in honor of the guest of the evening, the number of tickets having been exhausted long before the time for dining.
 The special menu was arranged as follows:
 n,, r,2 Oyster Stew e,,,..
 Broiled Mackerel Maitre DHotel Sweet Bread Croquets
 Roast Chicken. Cranberry Sauce Mashed Potatoes Hubbard Squash
 Apple Pie Vanilla Ice Cream
 Cheese Crackers
 Demi Tasse
 Judge l.. Fl. Fuller acted as toast master at the post prandial exercises. The speakers were Rev. c. J. Harri- man. C, $. Andenl and Attorney D. C. Morse. What they had to gay was pleasing to Connolly and his admirers and a tribute to a clean player and a clean game.
 Today the fans will get a chance to see Connolly in action at the game scheduled to begin at 2.S0 o'clock
