ARRESTED IN
 PUTNAM
William Chambers Was Wanted in East
 Hartford
Spent Day at Police Station

William Chambers, railroad man, was arrested by officers Cordier and Woodward last Thursday night upon request from East Hartford. Cham bers remained locked up until late Fri. day afternoon when an officer arrived for him. Through some misunder- standing it could not be learned who gave the request for the arrest and in- quiry in Hartford developed that he was not wanted there. Just as the po- lice began to believe that perhaps the arrest wasn't warranted on the evil dence in the case, officer William Me- kee of East Hartford put in an ap- pearanee and took the man back on an evening train.
 The officer stated while here that Chambers and another man came out on late trolley car from Hartford and were more or less intoxicated. After they got of at the end of the line they followed a man and took some things away from him including pair Of shoes. Owing to the circumstances surrounding the case the other man who was arrested was only charged with assault when he appeared in court Friday morning. Chambers made get away and came in on a freight train and was found in the ca boose by the officers. He would talk but little while locked up here.

LOOKED SUSPICIOUS
Employees of Joys Stable Think Rig
 Stolen
Dwight Wells Arrested Charged With
 Horse stealing

Dwight Wells of Warrenville, aged Is, was arrested in Putnam Sunday morning charged with stealing horse, carriage and harness, from Clifton Wright of West Ashford. Wells drove into Joys stable about three o'clock Sunday morning. The employees mo- ticed some ladies' wraps in the car. riage, the horse was tired out andWells acted in peculiar manner. Their sus- picions were aroused and they notified the police. Captain Murray asked the young man to go over to the police sta tion where he called up MT. Wright, who told him to hold Wells and he would send an officer for him as he had stolen his horse. Wells was turn ed over to Deputy Sheriff Fitts Mon. day morning.
 According to the story told here by the officer, two daughters of MT. Wright took the horse and carriage to drive to friends where they were going to hang May basket. They hitehed the horse under a shed and when they re- turned it was gone. They reported the loss and the officer and some men started on the trail in an automobile. One of the men had shod the stolen horse and could follow it's footprints by peculiarity of the shoe. The trail led to the westward nearly to the Mas sachusetts line and then circled back to Putnam. The pursuers were close on the trail when the rig reached Put nam. Wells was wanted by the ofii- cer for the theft of some rubber boots and traps and when he was taken be- fore justice he was charged with lar ceny. After a plea of guilty he was sentenced to 30 days in jail. After he serves his .time he will be arraigned for horse stealing. His father, who was communicated with, said the son was bad boy and the officials could do as they pleased with him.

Brought Home Wife and Mother-in-law

Joseph Groudek, formerly mill op- erative in North Grosyenordale, has returned from the old country with a bride. He lives in Webster now and some weeks ago he left there telling his friends he was going to Austria and that when he returned he would be a benedict. He also said that he would be back before Decoration Day and he is therefore two weeks ahead of his schedule. He had not seen his sweetheart in eleven years but she had remained loyal to him although she refused to leave her old mother and come to America to wed. Groudek stood it as long as he could and then went after her and brought her home as his bride and also brought his mother-in-iaw along.

A History of Brooklyn

Miss Felicia Terry of Brooklyn has written history of Brooklyn that is intensely interesting, not only to the residents of that town who have been reading it, but fully as much so to the residents of the towns about Brooklyn which towns have always been closely associated with Brooklyn's interests. Miss Terry has not only shown dis crimination in selecting from mass of data the most valuable and highly important historical facts, but has ex- hibitei commendable literary skill in assembling them in useable review of the early settlement and founding of the township and of the customs and conditions under which it's first fami- lies lived. Brooklyn has proud his- tory and many are getting much pleas ure of reviewing it,as set down by Miss Terry.
