WAS SETTING TRAPS.
Raymond Chandler Reprimanded and Fined s and Costs in the Town Court

Raymond Chandler. who lives in the northern section of the town. was talk e1l into CIstCGy ThuFsda! by County Game Warden Arthur Day of Daniel son and one of his deputies. Harry R. Lathrcp of Brooklyn, and brought here for presentation in the town court on q charge of setting traps without per- mission of the owner of the land on which the traps were placed. Chand- Ter. who is a young man just about past his majority, was apprehended by Deputy IIathrop soon after he had picked up a trap near which Deputy Lsthrop had been watching. Mir. Day said after Chandler had been brought here.
 Pefore Deputy Judge James NJ. Tucker. Chandler was presented in the town court at o'clock. He was found guilty of having violated the law irl the respect charged. It was brought ou t irt court that Chandler was arrested a few days ago in Putnam by Game Warden Day, but he was not presented 1rl court here, as the evidence did not seem to warrant so doing.
 Judge Tucker deliberated a, long time before passing sentence on Chandler. He lectured him severely for his prac- ticeS in setting traps and told him that he had mind to inf7ict the f!1ll pen alty of the lava fine of $50 and 30 days in iail-but after he had ascer- tained that such fine as was imposed upon him would have to be paid hv the young mans father whom he did not wish to punish for the young mans transgressions. he fined him s5 and costs. The costs amounted to $1sse ten dollars of the amount being the special fees for the game wardens as provided by law.
 Judge Tucker told young Chandler that if he ever came before him again charged with a violation of the game laws of the state he would certainly send him to jail.

It would require a second Solomon 10 decide what is the most attractive and popular feature of George Kieine's artistic production of the Cines photo drama, Quo Nadis, which is now excit- ing the admiration of the world. Some spectators enjoy most the spectacular scenes of the arena, with it's ferocious Hons. exciting gladiator combats and chariot races, to say nothing of JTrsus' thrilling conquest of the savage bull. while others prefer the romantic love story of Ninitius and Lygia, which is so completely related Some admire the characteristic scenes of %ero's court, with it's brilliant pageantry. ma gnifiCent festivals and reproduction of Roman palaces and gardens-and a great many applaud the production for its deep moral and religious note, the impressive visualization of the early struggles of Christianity and inspir- ing scenes in which the Saviour and the Apostles Peter and Paul dominate. Altogether 1t is supreme masterpiece and the one word that fittingly de- scribes it is marvellous" George kleine's Quo Vadis is announced for a three days engagement in Norwich commencing Monday matinee, Feb. g. at 2.S0 at the Auditorium.

Two Black Hand specialists, so- called, landed in Brooklyn jail Thurs day afternoon as a result of their at tempt to frighten Antonio Vito of the town of Thompson into paying them $1,000, under a threat to take his life and the lives of the members of his
 family if he failed to comply with the order.
 The letter did not come to MT. Vito through the mail. but when he arrived at his home Saturday he found it showed under the door. The missive was written in Italian.
 MT. Vito hurried to Putnam and laid the matter before Sheriff John o. Fox. Sheriff Fox had B. K. Smith of this city sworn in as a special deputy Thompson to work on the case.
 The letter ordered that the money be placed in an envelope and left near a. sign post at the four corners, a short distance on the highway from where MT. Vito lives Instead of money plank eartridges were placed in the envelope, taken to the designated place and partly buried in the grass, according to instructions. Sheriff Fox and Deputy Smith then took up an all night vigil, as it proved. for the Blank flanders did not appear at mid night for the money Mir. Vito and the members of his family were much disturbed by the incident. however, so arrangements were made for Dep uty Smith to remain and guard the house
 While this guard was being main tained, which was all of the time a means of fixing the identity of the tained, which~was all of the time, a the letter was being made. By in- specting his letter files for similar handwriting Mir. Vito finally was led to suspect that a former employe, James Nicolini, was the writer
 Working on this theory. Sheriff Fox, Deputy Smith and MT. Vito went to the boarding house where Nicolini has been staying and arrested him at about II o'clock Wednesday night Thurs day he was presented before Ran dolph H. Chandler. justice in the town of Thompson and, after a hearing. probable cause was found for holding perior court and his bonds were made s1o00. Nicolini had pleaded not gull ty, but he afterwards. the officials say, admitted writing the letter and gave Sheriff Fox information that later led to the arrest of an accomplice, Angelo Di Angelis, at North Grosven- ordale. Di Angeles was presented be- fore Justice Chandler and held for the superior court under the same con- ditions as was Nicolini. They were taken to jail by Deputy Sheriff Hol- brook.
 Both are young men, Di Angelis 1e meant no harm to Mir. Vito and wrote the letter when under the influence of liquor
 Mir. Vito is a well known state road contractor and has amassed consider able wealth in his business.

DYING BESIDE THE ROAD.
Elmer E. Newcomb at First Thought
 to Be Intoxicated.

Elmer E. Newcomb. who has pre- viously been in the public eye in Put nam. died beside the road near the Little Dam tavern late Wednesday night. People living near there who saw the man lying, in the road and. believing him intoxicated, sent word to Putnam to have the police come and get him. When the police arrived they found that Newcomb was not in toxicated, but in a very serious con dition-probably dying so he was re- moved to a nearby house and Dr. E. F. Perry summoned. Before the phy- sician could reach him Newcomb died. Heart disease is believed to have been the cause of his death. The body was brought to the rooms of a local un- dertaker.
 Newcomb was 50 years of age. He lived for several years in South Woodstock, where he was engaged as a laborer. Newcomb gained some mo- toriety in 1911 when he attempted to pass a check to which he had signed the name of Herbert W. Bowen, for mer United States minister in a South American country. He was arrested for this and presented in the superior court, where relatives interceded for him, the stories told indicating that he was not wholly responsible for such an act

Announcement will be made by off, cials of the Putnam Savings bank within a few days, it is stated, that passpools of depositors will be re- ceived as security for loans up to $10o for which interest will be charged at the rate of five per cent. This ac- ton is to be allowed under an order from the state bank commissioners Bank officials were very reticent about the matter Thursday. but did not deny that such an arrangement is about to be announced
 The story is based on excellent au- thority and will be learned of with satisfaction by the banks depositors. many of whom would find it conve- nient to have such an arrangement In force. At present their passoooks are accepted by various banks and iudl- yiduals as security for loans, of course but the interest rate Is about per cent in most cases The loans at the bank will be made at per cent.
 general advance of 4 points on the bond holdings of the bank has made its financial condition very much more satisfactory and further ad- vances and still greater improvement are looked for. It Is predicted that within few months. with present favorable prospects realized. the bank will be in excellent condition. It is also understood that the investment
