Claims He Was Drugged and Robbed

According to a story told by man giving his name as Harry Rock and residence Providence, he was drugged and robbed of S46 during the early hours of Wednesday evening in this city. Rock was found by some boys in the doorway of Magnsn's grocery store on School street. He was in an unconscious condition and the police and Dr, Perry were notified. The doc tor said that undoubtedly the man haa been drugged and apparently with morphine and antropine,
 After Rock had been brought back to consciousness he snid that he had been employed at lunch room in Providence. A man named Frank Smith had worked there a week and he became acquainted with him. They started together to look for work and arrived in Putnam at 6 o'clock. They went to restaurant not far from the railroad station and ordered some food and coffee. Smith drew the coffee and tNoch uIhnh lts luty tucH DoHtucu trolley car and Rock began to feel dizzy. He got off the car near build ing all lighted up, Smith following, and started down the street. That is the last he says he remembers until brought to consciousness by the doctor. He said he had Si6 in his pocket and an overcoat but both were gone. Rock was taken to the Day Kimball hospi- tai and remained there over night.
 was discharged during the following
 The building that the man saw all lighted up was doubtless the High school building as there was basket ball game there and the building was lighted. The place where he was found is not very far from the school. The police are working on the case but as the affair occurred just before time for train to leave they believe that Smith is probably many miles from Putnam by this time.

New Industry Preparing to Start
The k0eti.fiunt Corporation to Make
 Push Pins and Hangers

The new industry that Is about to start in Putnam for the manufacture of a patented push pin and hanger has been incorporated under the name of The Roeti-Hunt Corporation. The in. dustry will be located in the Johnson shop near the foundry and will manu- facture the Hunt push pin and hanger, and will later add other speciaties. This is not an entirely new industry as 1t was formerly conducted in Vest boro, Mass J. A. Hunt, the inventor of the push pin and hanger, has been known as an inventor for many years and he invented the Hunt bicycle sad- die when bicycles first came into use, and also patented many other articles.

Time Extended for Building Trolley Road

The favorable report by the legisa- tive committee on railroads extending the time for constructing a trolley line from Putnam to Chepachet, k. L., is of much interest in Putnam. A fran chise was procured about six years ago oy Putnam men interested in the pro- ject but no steps have as yet been talk en to start construction. At that time the trolley road from Providence to- ward the Connecticut line was not very far advanced but now it is com pIeted to Chepaehet which is about twelve miles from Putnam and the road from Putnam 10 that point would make direct line to Providence and would open up some desirable farming territory to the east of this city and give short route to the Rhode Island capital.

TROLLEY SERVICE
To Be Improved from North 10 Putnam
Believed IL Will Greatly Benefit Putnam
 Business

According to statement by Samuel Anderson, superintendent of the Shore Line Electric Railway, the frequent waits at the West Thompson trolley station will soon be thing of the past. Hereafter the minute meeting time at that place will be strictly ad- hered to.
 For number of years Putnam busi- ness men have been protesting to the company that passengers from the Grosvenordales south bound toPutnam have frequently been caused to make long waits at West Thompson and that fact tended to send the trade from the two villages northward to Webster. It seems that the railroad commissioners of Massachusetts would not allow Con- necticut car crews to cross the line so the crews were changed at West Thompson. When one ear or the other was not on time it made an unneces- sary delay.
 The proposed plan will help the situ- ation greatly if it is strictly maintain. ed. There may be an effort later if the plan does not prove remedial, to have the Public Utilities Commission of this state retaliate by mot allowing Massachusetts crews to enter Gonnecti- cut. If this were enforced the point of changing crews would be at the state lra vh I Iastu nF vile, which would certainly eliminate any wait at West Thompsong The business men are much encouraged over the proposed change believing that it will tend to bring more people to Putnam, the natural trading center, from the north.
 The matter was discussed at the meeting of the Eastern Connecticut Development Committee at Danielson Monday and the following votes passed:
 Owing to the fact that the car crews change at West Thompson, the mer chants of Putnam report that many of their customers have been seriously in convenieneed at times by the cars from the North not connecting with those running from the South at that point, especially in cold and stormy weather thereby diverting trade to Webster, i therefore
 Voted: That we feel il is for the in- terest Of the Eastern Connecticut mer- chants and for the Shore Line Electric 1 Co. that some different arrangements be made to insure the usual amount of travel south from the GTosvenordales.
 Voted: To send copy of these votes ] to Superintendent Anderson of the Shore Line Electric Co. with the re- quest that he use his best efforts to ac- complish the transfer of the car crews at the Connecticut line.

Bridge Company Sues City

A writ has been served on the city clerk in which the Berlin Construc- tion Company Of Berlin is the plain tiff and claims s400 damages because, it is alleged, that the city has failed to pay over money on an order from the Connecticut Contracting Company.
 The Connecticut Contracting Com pany built part of the city's sewer sys tenn. After the work was finished some fifteen or more creditors garni- sheed money in the city's hands due the company and after judgments were obtained the creditors were paid.
 According 10 the allegations in the plaintiffs complaint they obtained judgment against the Contracting Company in 1911 in the Court of Con- mon Pleas of Hartford; the amount of After this judgment was obtained the Contracting Company gave plaintiff an order on the city of Putnam for the amount and it is alleged that this order was sent to the city treasurer and ac- cepted by the city. Owing to this pro cedure the plaintiff claims that it did not take out execution against the Contracting Company and thereby lost its rights under it's attachments. It now looks to the city to pay the money on the order which the city has never done.
 The matter will be contested, accord ing to a statement of Corporation Counsel Charles l.. Torrey.

The Mayors Message

The concise, pithy message which Mayor Macdonald read to the common council last Monday night must be pleasing to the citizens. His urging the members of the council to exercise rigid economy but not to such an ex. tent Of dispensing with any essential of any city department IS in keeping with many expressions heard from the taxpayers that lhe city should not in crease it's bafdensofne debt unless ab- soiuieiy necessary for the welfare of the municipality. In recommending unfayorably the providing of more street lights and ail-night service and with increasing the police department of the city the council is acting along the suggested lines but in deference to the petitioners who have asked for these things the council decided to let the matter come before the annual city meeting March 1st and give the tax payers an opportunity to express their views on the matter and see If they in- sist on the extra expense the changes would incur.
 The matter of improving Main strees from Union street through Union Square Is an imperative and glariag necessity and was fully demonstr ated the past week when several inches of mud covered this most travelled thoroughfare of any in the city. Tho amicite roadway now extends from May street to Union street and the rec ommendation covers but a short addi- ton that could be put ;n with little ex- pense. The material used was laid some two years ago and it's wearing qualities have come up to expecta- tions. The council, as the mayor points out, is receiving steady stream of petitions for improvements here and there, and, while entailiug no great amount of expense in individual cases the aggregate amounts to con siderable sum, or would If the council needed all of the requests. The citi- zens as well as members of the council, may assist the mayor in his economic policy by giving more thought to the financial aspect of the question before sending petitions and requests to the council for action.

FIVE FOR A DOLLAR
Closing Entertainments of a Successful
 Course
Lecture and Concert Finish the Season

The closing entertainment of the course will be given Tuesday evening. March 2, by the Dunbar male quartet and bell ringers. The Dunbars were the first to conceive the idea of sing ing quartet, which could also perform upon instruments, and when they en tered the field with combination of quartet, bells, trio, 'cellist, tenor solo, ist, bass soloist and impersonator, each feature strong one, and all in four men, new era was established in ly- ceum entertainment and a new stand ard set which ooher quartets immedi- ately set out to attain.
 The Dunoars carry peal of over 200 bells, made in Europe under their own supervision, six oetaves ehromatic and ranging in size from one to twenty-five dounds. They are unlike other bells in that they are soft and mellow in quality, and sustain teeir tones so long that the compuny has often been ae- cused of having a small orgsn con eealed and operated in connection with the belts.
 Years of experience shave resulted in such perfect system of manipulation that such compositions as MacDowell's "To Wild Rose,n Nevin's aGondo- Hers" and Chopin's Raindropn prel- ude are given with grace and effect absolutely unobtainable on any other instrument.
 The Dunbars appeared in Putnam n few years ago, and their engagement for this year was made in response to the repeated and urgeat requests of many who heard them on their form CT visits.

Benefit for William Donovan

The benefit for William Donovan at the Bradley theatre Tuesday night was big success. The large gather ing enjoyed the clean, snappy show put on by some of Putnam's best amateur talent. The songs, gags, and choruses all went with dash. J. J McGarry made prepossessing inter. locutor while the ends were Duffy, Tanning, Gagne, Tetreault, Day and Jarvis. The horse play was all much enjoyed. Eight young ladies assisted in the show and the grand ensemble looked to be the real article from the pit side of the footiights. It was a good show, well staged.

TO HONOR POET
Fannie Crosby Memorial
Will Be Observed at Next Meeting of
 D. A. K.


 At the regular meeting of Elizabeth Porter Putnam chapter, D. A, R., to be lheld March sth. the exercises will be tn the nature of memorial to Miss Fannie Crosby, the blind hymn writ CT, who died in Bridgeport Friday, the l2th, at the age of 90. Miss Crosby was a member of the D A. k. and wrote a song for the chapters In this state. The song was in four stanzas with chorus, it's title, The State We Honor, and was sung at chapter meet. ings with all joining in the chorus, The song was written when Miss Cros- by was in her s9th year.
 Miss Crosby loved to have good com pany about her and always submitted to an interview. She was impressions able to lively company; their presence appeared to stimulate her. She was the first to write hymns in popular vein, when she started writing sacred songs for Mcody and Sanky over thirty years ago. She had a natural gift for hymn writing, and 1t Is estimated that she had written about 5000 of them. They are under all kinds of names, as the publishers found that 1t would not do to have all of them signed Fanny Crosby. Hymn writing and versitica- ton was her trade, and she was al ways at work. She left an impression that there was sunshine in her heart If there was darkness in her eyes. She was the embodiment of optimism. She even looked upon her blindness as a blessing. In the Methodist church she is held in saintly memory.
