thur $. Macdonald and Captain John Murray started to investigate the scheme and inquire into its workings, The attorney decided it was a. lottery and then followed the order forbidding the transaction of further business here.
 The furniture club plan as worked here is similar to the cloak and suit club plans on which a number of Put nam people have been stung in the past In Hartford the men arrested are to be charged with getting money under false pretensAs and with violat- ing the lottery law of the state.
 The general pan is for the contri- butofs to pay s5 cents 8 week until a lCLal of $17.50 has been paid, when furniture to that value will be de- livered. There is an added agreement that drawings will be made weekly and that the winner of the drawing is to get articles of furniture of specia, value and of equal value to the total amount to be paid in, winners not being required to make further pay ments. This is the lottery feature of which the local authorities and those of Hartford complained and are com blaming against.
 In view of the developments 1T Hartford and other cities of the state it is probably a blessing for many Putnam people that the local men stopped the working of the scheme hare as promptly as they did

QUESTION OF DEPUTIES
Arises in Connection with Sheriff John

The showing made by Sherin John o. Fox as a candidate for election to his present office was very pleasing to his friends here. The closest observers among these were fearful from the first, however, that Sheriff -elAet Gates great popularity in his home town of Windham and the towns surrounding it would net him 2. vote, drawn from all political parties. so great that any gains Sheriff Fox might make in this end of the county would not be sum cisnt to offset it. and this proved to be the case. Shertff Fox had a ma jority in Putnam. Ashford, Brooklyn and Ki1lingly and was one vote be- hind MT. Gates total in Thompson. The Wfndham vote alone, though, was enough to give MT. Gates 6 margin over the gains made by MT. Fox in the towns mentioned.
 Now arises the question Of deputies under the incoming shArtn. MT. Fox retained the appointees of the late Sheriff Siblsy, so if there are any ch4nzAs, executing at Windham and tn Brooklyn, the whole proposition will be Of special interest only to repub- Ec4ns.
