SEEKING VIOLATORS
Inspector Hennessy of First Federal District Making Headquarters Here for Few Days.

F.. W. Hennessy of Providence. United States district inspector, came here Monday for the purpose of in vestigating several complaints which have been made relative to the viola tion of the game and bird laws. In spector Hennessy is assigned under the federal migratory bird law to the first district, which comprises the states of New England, He is mak- ing his headquarters at the Wauregan House for a few days.
 s- He has been in conference with number of sportsmen of this vicinity relative to the manner in which the federal law is being observed and would be glad to receive any reports of violations for the purpose of bring ing about the prosecution of the law breakers.
 s He is busy at ali times investigating conditions and violations and states that there are often cases whicch should receive attention although the game wardens often think they are not important enough to report. Vio- 1ations which have occurred within the past three years will be taken no- tice of, and Inspector Hennessy states that he now has eighteen cases pend ing before different courts.
 z From what he has learned from local residents he is convinced that there are violations in this part of the state which should be checked and he is de- ftermined to accomplish it if possible.

CONDOLING FRIENDS FOUND
 LEWIS ROGUE ALIVE. Report of His Sudden Death Was All a
 Mistake.

Sympathizing friends who called at the home of the Bogue family of Poquonock on Saturday evening last to extend coincidence over the reported death of the father of the family, Lewis Bogue, were startled when they entered the house to find the parent seated before a fireplace, enjoying the comforts of home, and rejoicing in the fact that he was not dead
 An evening paper printed the story that MT. Bogue died suddenly Satur- day morning while in boat fishing. Furthermore, it was reported that Dr. Bucklyn had pronounced death due to heart failure. Five children survive him, and his wife died a year ago, etc." it was stated.
 The facts are MT. Bogue, who is troubled with heart disease, and had been ill for several days. borrowed a rowboat Saturday morning for the purpose of fishing for cells in the Poquonock river. While near the shore he fell from the boat and was unable to climb back into it again. His shouts gained the attention of 8 man passing, who came to his assistance and pulled MT. Bogue ashore. He was immediate ly taken home, overcome by the chill of the river water, and tainted on the way. He soon revived, however, and to prove that he had wholly recovered he chopped wood for several hours during the afternoon.-New London Globe

CRISPUS ATTUCKS.
Part Which This Slave Took in Be- half of American Liberty Discussed Before Union Lyceum,

The Union Lyceum held an inter- esting meeting in Grace Memorial Baptist church at p. m. Sunday, Rev. R. B. Harris, pastor. The subject for discussion was the part Crispus Attucks took in the early days of the Revolutionary war.
 There was a large gathering. Will liam T. Fields opened the discussion with an earnest address, after which there were remarks by Revs. Harris and Riddle and Deacon Payne. The following paper on Attucks was read by Miss Frances Fields.
 Among those whose blood was first shed for the cause of American hb- Attucks. Having escaped from his master William Brown, of Framing ham, Mass, at the age of 27, being then six feet two inches high, with short curled hair" he made his way to Boston. His master, in 1750, of- fered a reward of ten pounds for him, but Crispus was not found. When next heard from he turns up in the streets of Boston.
 Attucks had no doubt been listening to the fiery eloquence of the patriots of those burning times. The words of the eloquent Itis had kindled his soul and though a runaway slave, his pa triotism was so deep that he 1t was who sacrificed his life first on the altar of American liberty.
 General Gage, the English com mander, had taken possession of Bos- ton. Under the British flag gaiIy dressed soldiers marched the streets of Boston as through a conquered city: their every act was an insult to the inhabitants. Finally, on March 5, TITO, with Crispus Attucks at the head of a large crowd of citizens. a fight ensued on the street.
 The troops were ordered to fire on the "mob," and Attucks fell, the first one, with three others, Caldwell, Gray and Maverick. The town bell was rung, the alarm given and citizens from the country ran into Boston, where the greatest excitement pre- vailed.
 The burial of Attucks, the only un- known dead, was from Faneuil hall The funeral procession was enormous and many of the best citizens followed this former slave and unknown hero to an honored grave.
