ICE TRAP
Two Horses, Wagon And Driver GO
 Down
One Horse Drowned. Driver Has Mar.
 row Escape

A pair of work horses hitehed to lumber wagon driven by Julius Rut- chauser, foreman for Edward A. Bow en of Woodstock, went through thin ice at Roseland lake Saturday morn- ing One horse was drowned but the driver and other horse escaped.
 The place where the outfit went in was veritable ice trap. Ice had been cut on the lake Friday. During the night it froze over and a light snow fell so that the place was indistinguish- able from the rest of the lake. Mr. Rutehauser drove his team out onto the lake to get load of ice and not be. ing familiar with the spot where the ice had been cut the day before he drove right upon it and he, the horses and wagon were suddenly let down in- to the icy water. MT. Ruiehauser struggled Gat upon the solid ice. One horse seemed to become immediately numbed by the cold water aud sank without struggle while the other horse thrasheo atout, freed himself from the wagon and got out. The dead horse was taken out soon after. The place where the team went down is about ten feet deep and, nurhbed by the icy water, the man and animals were in great peril.
 Koseland lake is at Roseland park which became a beauty spot and fa- nous for men of national prominence appearing there as speakers through the efforts of the late Henry C. Bowen. 1t is the source of Putnam's water supply.

Bank Commissioners Report
A Word Ab0ct Putnam and DanieIson
 Banks

Tn their annual report for the year ended Sept. 30, 1913, the state bank commissioners report as follows rela- tive to the Wihdham County Savings bank of Danielson and the Putnam Savings bank:
 The Windham County Savings bank, which was under a restraining order at the time of our last annual report, con- tinued in this condition until the time when, acting with the approval of the Attorney General, we asked to have a receiver appointed 10 wind up it's af- fairs. The case was delayed in the court, not coming 10 trial until Sept. 2, 1913. During the trial the counsel for the bank offered to bring about m immediate and complete change in the management of the institution and we were glad 10 discontinue the suit and munity. This change in management has taken place. We are, therefore, gratitied to report that the outlook for this bank is very bright.
 On Dec. 29th the assets of the Put nam Savings bank were found to be insufficient to meet its liabilities so that we, acting in concert with the counsel of the bank, issued an order restraining the bank from receiving deposits or paying out funds. The bank has an earning power of approxi- mately Sl20, ,000 gross per annum. We hope, therefore, that it will be able 10 resume before any serious ineonye- nience results.

Equal Franchise League
Miss Martin of Nevada Speaks

Miss Anne Martin of Nevada was the speaker at the January meeting of the Putnam Equal Franchise League. Miss Martin, who is president of the state association for Woman Suffrage in Nevada, spoke very interestingly of the conditions in her state, and of the peculiar difficulties that beset suffrage workers there. Nevada is state of magnificent distances, being larger than England Scotland and Wales to- gether, and the population is very small and scattered. This makes 1t particularly hard to reach the rural voters who are usually more favorable toward equal suffrage than the town voters who are apt to fear women's ins fiuence on temperance and allied ques- tions. Nevada is surrounded on every side by suffrage states, and suffragists all over the country are very anxious to have the women win there arthe election in November.
 After Miss Martins address, the Put nam league took up collection which was given 10 aid tine Nevada cam paign. An excellent musical program was the closing feature of the meeting. Miss Mildred Wightman played piano selections and Miss Gladys Farmer sang, accompanied by l.. 0. Williams.
