< Quite little excitement was created in Sheffield last Sunday at the home of Jason Gordon on Silver street. Miss Hattie. Bailey, sister of Mrs. Gordon, left the house in the afternoon, leaving 8 note on her table intimating that she intended suicide and giving directions about her burial. Assistance was at once summoned from Sheffield and Ca naan, and thorough search was made i'll the neighborhood. After fruitless search, the party returned to the house to make plans for further action. While thus engaged in consultation, Miss Bailey walked ill, ill dazed con- dition. No statement could be obtained from her. Dr. A. T. Wakefield was summoned and made a thorough exami. nation of her condition, but was unable to find physical cause for her strange conduct. Later Dr. c. s. Chapin, ot Great Harrington, was called Tn con. sultation, but up to this writing nc clear solution of the mystery has been found.

BLoD6ETT FOR JUDGE
Former Canaanlte May Rule Over Win- sted Town Court.

William H. Blodgett, of Winsted. formerly of Canaan, we'll known to the legislators of the hast five sessions and present clerk of bills, is said to be in line for the judgeship of the Winsted town court. Says the Courant's Vim sted correspondent:
 Senator s. Landon Alvord and Re- presentatives Dudley l.. Vaill and Lyman P. Case, of Winchester, it is said, have received personal letters from residents of Winsted furthering the in- terests of William H. Blodgett, formerly prosecuting attorney for the town, for the judgeship of the town court, an office now held by Frank W. Seymour. The news comes as surprise to many residents here who had not given a thought to the possibility of three be- ing rival in the field. It is said that the candidacy of MT. Blodgett dates back to the time he relinquished his luties as prosecutor, resigning when a prosecution he had brought against Charles Ryan for the violation of a borough ordinance relating to building operations had been denied by the court c. Wesley Winslow was ap- pointed prosecutor in Blodgett's place. It is said that the legislators when ap- preached on the subject said they would wait to see if the request for Mir. Blod. gett's appointment is the sentiment of the majority of the townspeople whom they represent rather than individuals. Raua rd Iesse of how tha rnattar is decided it means an open break in some quar. ters that will probably prove interest | ing in the near future.

GOODS TWICE ATTACHED
Whitford Apparently Puts One Over on
 Clint Roraback.

A contest of wits is being played in the case of the Luci1s M. Whitney at- tachments, which is watched with in terest. Lawyer J. O. Roraback last week caused Deputy Sheriff Rhoades to attach the contents of Whitney s grocery store in East Canaan, on a claim of $22S preferred by the Com stock, Willett Company, of Bridgeport.
 The officer made the attachment but did not remove the goods. Subsequent ly R. H. Whitford, who holds a claim against Whitney, having learned of the action taken, secured the services of Deputy Sheriff George Beers, of Corn wall, and placed another attachment on the goods, forced entrance to the store, took possession of the goods and moved them away.
 There is said to be a question as to the legality of the later action, and in- teresting developments are expected when the case comes to an issue. ..
 It is thought probable that MT. Whit ney will make an assignment in bank ruptcy.
