Fall River Woman Things Dead Mar
 Was Her Father.

Prosecuting Attorney Arthur s. Macdonald has a letter from Miss Catherine Duffy of Fall River in which she makes inquiry about her father, who, she sets forth, has disappear ed. She indicates the possibility that he may have been the man whose body was taken from a mill trench here last summer and was later burie l unidentified.
 Miss Duffy says that her father came here short time before the body was found ana worked in a mill. Just a few days before the body was found he decided to leave here and go to Manville. He never arrived at that place and baggage sent there for his11 was never claimed.
 Possibly Miss Duffy may be right in her suspicion that the.bedy of the mau found here was that of her fat aer, but the chances are that it was some one else. The body found was that of Q younger man than she describes her father to have been. There are al- so other discrepancies that indicate to local officials who have given atten- ton to that matter that she is on the wrong trail and that her father may yet be found alive.
 The belief still prevails here that the body found was that of man who had lived in Putnam and AttawaugaIl and who has not been seen since about two weeks before the body was found

 All who like to think of Danielson and Putnam as leading county towns and rightfully, will find something to hold their attention in the statement Of the number of school children Plainffeld. with an enumeration of 1,670, is ahead of both Killingly and Putnam and in second place, coming after Windhanl. Killingiy's enumera- ton Is 1895. Putnam's 1.535. Race suicide doesn't account for this change rom the figures of a few years ago. It is due solely to Plainfeldss surpris- ing growth. the most rapid of any town in this part of the state. If Killingly might claim those children on the West Side, but Brooklyn couldn't be expected to stand for that, though they are really in Danielson and nearly 300 of them attend school in the borough-at St. James'-this town might give Plainfield run for position on enumerationt figures.
