ASKED FOR HELP
 ON oNTRo7ANDo ROAD. On Account of Extra Risk in City, Chief Stanton Kept Apparatus in city-Shed Burned.

A telephone message was sent in to the Central fire station at 6: 50 o'clock Saturday evening from Norwich Town asking for help from the city depart ment in fighting fire on Otrobando avenue at a point near Brady and Saxton's store. It was said brush fire was sweeping down from the woods upon a hous occupied by an Italian family there and that the sft- upation was dangerous. The ques- tion of going outside the city limits was put up to the fire commissioners and they left the matter to the dis erection of Chief Stanton. In conse- quence of the weather and of the ex- tra risk in the city during the Christ mas season he decided that it would be unwise to send the motor apparatus so far away from their center of op- eration.
 Subsequently 1t was learned that only a shed on the place threatened had been burned.
 On Sunday morning at 7:53 o'clock there was a still alarm for chimney fire at 316 Franklin street in the building owned by Tony Colletti. Six gallons of chemical put the blaze out without damage.

In an endeavor to round up horse thief who got safely away from TaftviIle in broad daylight Saturday. the Norwich police department was in communication on Sunday night with the police of Providence, Westerly, New London, Putnam, Danielson, ford and Worcester and with the net thus spread out on all sides, the chanc- es of the fugitive to evade the arm of authority and justice is naturally small.

MAIL CLERKS NOT TO GUESS.
Postal Authorities Demand Surety ot
 Paper Addresses.

The remarkable feats of ingenuity which have been accredited to postal clerks who have received letters im- perfectly addressed, as, for instance, containing only part of a name or emitting the state or the city, have evidently not made a hit with the au thorities at Washington, as revealed in an order just sent out 'by the post office department at Washington.
 The department in its order makes it plain that hereafter clerks are not to guess at the addresses of letters. or try in other ways to exercise their ingenuity. They are to make sure Of the proper addresses of letters before shooting them into mail pouches on a journey which may take them to many cities in the United States before they reach their final destination.
 In order to make sure of the correct address. clerks through whose hands letters improperly addressed pass, are to send out inquiries to cities for which they think the letter is intended. to as- certain if they arc correct in their surmises as to the location of the ad- 1 dressee. These inquiries can be sent to many cities at the same time and | their return is believed by the depart ment to be the best way to cut out the delays which formerly occurred when letters improperly addressed were passed from one postoffice to another until they hit the right place.

Uu Sunday the owners kept @ lookout @; the horse, which they valued al $250 and MT. Proulx visited Plainfield and Canterbury and telepiloned to Voliin- town and other places without getting any trace of VeryilIe. Sunday even ing at 10 o'clock Mercier and ProulS came down to police station, q. war rant was sworn out for Vervitte ant then Captain Twomey notified the eth CT police departments. Verville wore a grayish overcoat, overalls and a dael cap when he started on and he ha. very little money with him. It is stat ed that several years ago he was mix ed up in another horse stealing affair taking an animal from a TafSEill' store keeper named Dufrense. Fol some time he had not been working steadily and the indications were thu he had been drinking on Saturday.

 While this news item has a nation
 wide interest on account of the fame
 of the buyer, there is also attached
 to it, a great deal of interest both
 stasewise and locally. It may not be

 been assembled b ythe late R. D. Daw-

KATE coses CHRISTMAS DINNER
Tt Was Happy Home at the Home
 of Her Daughter in Lebanon.

Kate Cobb, who was pardoned week ago Saturday, after having SerV- ed nearly 36 years of a life sentence for thu murder of her husband, spent Christmas day quietly at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Luther Spaulding, in Lebanon. During the afternoon she was the central figure at a family party which was held in her honor, and she greatly enjoyed the day. which was the first Christmas in nearly four decades which she spent outside of prison walls. writes a Lebanon core spondent.
 Charles Cobb of Norwich. her son. was among those present, and the hours were passed in a pleasant man ner. 4 turkey dinner was served and everything was done to make the guest of honor bridge the intervenins years and forget the long period which marked the darker side of her life. Mrs. Cobb was in a happy humor and chatted with her relatives. No aIlusion was made to her imprisonment, and many "reminiscences of the early days of her life were recalled.
 It is now Mrs. Cobb's chief object in life to Tive and forget" She de- sires to be left alone. and to be per- mitted to spend the remaining period of her life in peace and quiet AL though she has nearly reached the al- lotted three score and ten. she is still in good health, and unless stricken by
 
 | long time to come. It is not her de- sire to enter the social life of the vil- lage where she expects to make her home, and all she desires is to culti- vate the acquaintance of her children and her grandchildren.
 Mrs. Spaulding and her daughter went to Hartford in an automobile two days before Christmas and called for her mother and in short time return ed with her to Lebanon.
 I The arrival oF he and grandchild was a complete surprise l both to Mrs. Cobb and to Mrs. w I. | BagleY. at whose house at 55 Oak street Mrs. Cobb has been living since her release from the state prison last | Saturday. It had been understood that Mrs. Spaulding would come either yes 1 terday or this morning, but the daugh- ter had told. Mrs. Bagiey that she would let her know just when to ex- pect her. Instead of that, Mrs. Spaul- ding made the journey without any notice to her mother or her hostess arriving just as they were preparing dinner. Mrs Spaulding explained that yesterday morning seemed the best time to come for her mother and that she had not had time to notify them. The meeting between the two mem bers of the family who have been sep arated for S6 years and the third mem- ber,. who had never seen her grand mother, and who until recently had been kept in ignorance of her impris- Ionment. was a pathetic one. Mrs lCobb broke down, as she did when the news of her release was given her last Friday night by Warden Ward A Gar. lner of the prison.
 Its too good to be true" she sobbeC as she ciung to her daughter.
 Tt is true. and we've come to take lyon home with us.7 replied Mrs Spaulding. The granddaughter claspe{ Mrs. Cobb in her arms, crying: sWeir, all going home together, grandma, ant lwe'n have some wonderful times to. gether," and one of them was or Christmas day.
