Ileeded Weather Warnings and Left
 Galveston, Texas

A telegram received here Thursday relieved the anxiety that has been felt for Mr and Mrs. r. C. Melbert of Gal weston, the city swept by terrific tropical storm this week. Mrs. Mel bert was formerly Miss Lauretta A lard, daughter of MT. and Mrs. Joseph Allard, of this city and Pomfret.
 Mr Melbert paid heed to the United States weather bureau storm warnings and made an early start away from Galveston to avoid an experience such as he felt certain would be visited upon the city, taking his family to Houston, where they arrived in safety and from where his telegram to his relatives here was filed. He has been familiar with Galveston and it's storms for q number of years, so made the most of his opportunity to get himself and family out of the danger zone as quick ly as possible.

 A broad piazza has been built on the west side overlooking the golf course and giving a wide view of the distant hills, the winding river and the con tiguous rolling land. The old barn which has obstructed this view is 10 be removed The interior has wholly changed in aspect the lower floor being remodeled into one large room with an eightf foot rustic stone fireplace at the north end. Upstairs will contain locker rooms for both ladies and gem temen.
 Work has been gong on over the golf course and six new greens have been laid cut. The tennis courts are in excellent condition. Entries in tourn. aments in both these outdoor sports are now being made and there is a great deal of interest in the forthcom- ing events.
 The membership list is still open and new members are being received right along. The club fills a long standing need in Putnam and vicinity and the larger the membership the more provements can be made.

To Kill Deer Must Have Hunters License

Attorney sGeneral George k. Hin- man has given to John Nj. Crampton an opinion as to three recent game laws, the most important being upon the act regarding the killing of deer. While he says that his opinion is only for the information Of the board until the laws are construed by the courts he holds that an empioye who kills a deer upon the land Of his employer must first possess a hunters license.
 As to the act requiring trapers to take out hunter's licenses the attorney general holds that il must be construed 10 require license only when the ani- msls are protected by law, in the third particular he holds That the person who kills deer upon his own land may righifuily possess ils carcass.

STOLEN STALLION Taken from WOOnSOcket Racing Stable Friday Night, Recovered in East
 NOedStOek Monday
Animal That Recently Brought Sz,sS0
 Sold for St5 to B. E. Eddy

IL is not often that man gets II chance to buy piece of horseAeSh worth S2, 900 for S65 and it is not often that such valuable animal munehes its grain in Woodstock barn. Such was the case recently and the valuable stallion was in the possession of R. +, Eddy of East Woodstock from Satur. daysafternoon to Monday afternoon.s lt was not during all of that time that MT. Eddy realized that he had the valuable sire of many race track horses, He ln fact did not realize 1t until he received a circular through . the mail describing the valuable ami. mal and giving information that it had been stolen when he immediately set in motion the wheels that sent the stallion back to it's owner.
 Edge On, racing stallion for which David D. Warman of Providence re- gently paid S2,55o, was stolen from Mr. Warman'S stables at the Woon- socket Trotting Park Friday night. MT. Wnrman was at another track with string of horses at the time and did mol know of his loss until Satur- day when he immediately notified the Woonsocket police and had the news of the theft sent broadcast. Woousocket officers got on the trail and traced the thief as far as Webster where 1t was learned that an attempt had twice been made to sell the animal There the trail was lost for the time being.
 About ? o'clock Saturday afternoon George McManus drove into the yard of Mr. Eddy of East Woodstock. Me- Manus worked for MT. Eddy some twelve or itnirteen years ago. Me Manus wanted to sell his former em ployer the horse he was driving, claim. ing that he had bought it in Provi- dence some time before and had no further use for II. The animal had ap parently not been i'll treated coming over the road and looked in good con dttion. A bargain was finally struck : Mr. Eddy was to pay s65 for the horse, sf0 down and the balance at the end of the week to be sent to Providence II the horse proved satisfactory. MeMan- Us pocketed the Sl0 and left on foot without stating which way or where he was going.
 Monday morning Mir. Eddy received his mail and among it's contents was q circular describing a stolen stallion which Mir. Eddy immediately per ceived was the animai he had pur' chased tom McManus and which was then in his barn on weeks trial. He at once called up Deputy Sheriff Hol- brook on the telephone and told him the circumstances and the deputy no- tified the Woonsocket police depart. ment that he had located the animal they were looking for.
 During the day Inspector Joseph II. Jalbert of the WGonsocket police came to Putnam and went up to MT. Eddy's place and recovered the great stallion and made arrangements for its return Io WoonsOckeL.

THE NORWICH FAIR
 Governors Day, Monday, September 7th
 Big List Of Attractions to Draw Crowds

With $500 appropriated for prizes and purses at the fair of the New Lon don County Agricultural Society to be held in Norwich, Sept. 6, ', s, it is not at all strange that the horsemen aud cattle raisers are anxiously awaiting the opening The fair is always a most attractive event 10 the people of the county and this year it will over flow the county and take in the entire eastern part of the state.
 The special free acts which are put in to hold the interest of the people during the intermissions of the horse racing will keep everybody standing up in their seats for along with the usual acrobatic and comedy acts there will be seen tbis year one of the lar. gest and most spectacular of any of the animal acts seen eithersin the cir GUS world or in the highest priced vau- devilie theaters, Mile. Marguerite and her Lions. This act alone is worth more than the admission to the fair and is to be seen free atsb sboth the after noon and evening performances. The fireworks display given at each evening fair will far surpass last year $ programme although there are many people who do not think that such a thing is possible, but as the company which furnished the display last year is the authority for the statement 1t should not be doubted They say that after their exhibition is over the on- lockers will have pretty good idea of what a European bombardment is like at it's most terrific moment.
 With the fireworks, the cattle and livestock exhibits, the baby show and all the various and multitudinous things for which awards are given, 1t would seem that the minds of every body who will visit the fair would be pretty well taken up, but the fair this year is fair of quantity as well as quality and the top feature of the fair will undoubtedly be the presence Of his Excelency, Marcus NJ. Holcomt, the Governor of the state, who has gi ven his assurance that the New Lon don County fair is the first and the anly fair ,hG- i4e has positively stated that he would attend.
 It is the first time in sixty years that the Governor of the state has been q visitor in Norwich and the townspeo- pie are going to make his,visit a day Of days. Three companies of theiCoast Artillery will escort the Governor to the grounds, and the,governor's salute will be fired upon his arrival upon the grounds.
 As the genial secretary of the fair association remarked, "It is sixty odd years since the city of Norwich has been favored with a visit from the highest officer of the state and we are certainly going 10 make Governors Day, Sept. :, day that will be talked about for sixty years to come"

Attawangan Sextette Accused of Assault
Cases Dismissed on Payment of Costs

Six young men from Attawaugan, all except one being under 2l years old we,e arrested Tuesday morning charged with simple assault. The cases were heard at North Grosvenor- dale Tuesday afternoon before Judge NJ. H. Geissler of Putnam acting as a justice of the peace Grand Juror LamorouX represented the state and Lawyer 4. 5. Macdonald looked after the interests of the accused.s
 Eva Cregan of Wilsonville, upon whom the assault was alleged to have been made, testified that as she was walking along the road with her two little sisters an automobile came along with the six defendants in it. The machine stopped and backed up to where she was and she entered into conversation with the young men whom she knew. They asked her to get in and take ride and she refused and they grabbed her and pulled her in. She kept asking to get out and they wouldn't let her until she threat ened to jump out and they then start ed to turn the machine around and she did jump out. Her two little sisters also told of her being pulled into the machine and her mother told of the young men coming to her home and apologizing.
 On cross examination it developed that there was considerable talking and Joking before the assault complain ed of and that the girl did not cry out to anyone although several houses were passed in the distance travelled. She said she formerly lived in Alta waugan and had known all but one of the young men five or six years.
 The accused testified in their own behalf and all told the same story. They told of stopping and talking and joking with the Cregan girl whom they know. She stood with one foot on the running board. They admitted she refused to get in but there was fool ing going on all the time and when couple of the young men took hold of her hands she stepped in voluntarily. She then demanded to be let out at the corner near her home the young men thought it was all part of the affair until she attempted To jump out, when they ,learned that she was in earnest about wanting to get out and stopped to turn around. She then jumped out, and although they offered to take her home, which was only short distance away, she refused to ride. They went to her home and talked with her mother and said they were sorry that they had gone so far but did not mean anything by it and would not have re- turned 10 apologize except that they thought the whole thing was in fun.
 Judge Geissler 4ssid that while he thought possibly the young men com. milted the act in d spirit of fun he also thought that they had carried the thing loo far and needed some kind of H lesson. He did mot wish 10 give them a court record and said he would be willing to dismiss the cases with the payment of costs. Alter consult tation this was agreed to and the boys paid and were set al liberty.
