Members of the New Britain Nest of Owls or the relief committee should at once get busy and go to Corbin Place where perched in the branches of a tree they will find, providing he has not left for parts unknown, a Brother Owl of the winged variety. However, He's an owl all right and gave the sign of the order to a report CT this afternoon. It was impossible to tell whether he is great horned owl or an overgrown screech, but owl he IS or was. A small boy in the neighborhood was going to shoot him with slingshot but was informed that the owl is sacred bird and moreover isn't good to eat anyway.

FUNERAL SERVICES
 FOR MISS FLEMING
Relatives Attend Services This Morn ing and Clear Up
 Mystery.

Mystery.
 The funeral of the strange woman who died early Sunday morning In Mrs. Barnes boarding house on Church street, known as Miss Nettlc Fleming, was held from the Erwin mortuary chapel in Fairview ceme- tery at 10 o'clock this morning. Rev. Lyman s. Johnson officiated and interment was in Fairview cemetery. Mrs. Harrison Decker of Stamford and Mrs. Thomas Edgar of New Rochelle, relatives, were present
 All mystery surrounding Miss Fleming has been cleared up. Her correct name was Letitia Fleming and she was born in the north of Ireland, sixty-seven years ago. When young girl she came to this coun- try with her parents and settled in Rochester, N. Y., She attended the Sacred Heart convent in that city and later moved to Brooklyn. Her ambition was to be an educator and she went to Panama where she taught school for many years. Sh4 also taught in the schools of Brook lyn. She was a most refined woman and was a staunch member of the Baptist church.
 In her advanced years she be- came somewhat eccentric and being l woman who had always looked af. 1 ter herself she hesitated about being a burden on her relations. Conse l quently she came to this city where
 she died alone and unknown.
