DEAD TWO WEEKS
Crazy italian Perishes from Paris
Green Poison in Nottingham

David Drinkwine made gruesome
discovery Sunday, July Is, when he
found the body of lonely Italian who
had been known as Crazy Pete and
had been wandering in that locality
for some time, making his abode in an
old shanty on the Wilder place near
Mr.. Drinkwine's home. The man APP
peared to be about 40 years old and
without friends, work or money, and
he could neither talk, read nor write
so that anyone could understand him,
No one remembered seeing him for
some time and evidently he had been
dead from one to two weeks, as his
body was badly decomposed The
iselectmen were called and Undertake
Ell Canedy took charge of the body,
which was given a respectable burial
by the town. ~ es
The body was found on the top floor
of his shanty and death evidently was
caused by poisoning. A 100pound
box Of Paris green was found in his
home and one package was broken
open and traces of the green were
found in his water pail and spider. 1t
is thought that in his ignorance he
mistook the poison which was marked
G. ii. Waste. Jacksonville, VT, and
was stolen from the station, for some
kind of food. No trace of any par
ticle of food or dishes were found in
his rude home.

Hazel Dawn Returns to Screen in
Five-Part Screen Comedy, "Niobe."
Hazel Dawn, who recently complet-
ed a successful starring tour in "The
Debutante," in which she won n great
personal triumph, and who made her
debut in motion pictures in zone of
Our Girls a former Famous Players
production in which she sprang into
immediate popularity as an interna-
tional film favorite, returns to the
screen in an elaborate film version of
the famous stage success, "Niobe.
by Harry and Edward A.. Paulton.
"Niobe" is the comedy of Greek
statue that comes to life and has q
great deal of amusement lat the ex-
pense Of Contemporary mortals
This mirth-prov oking subject is the
attraction at the Library Theatre to-
day on the Paramount Program.
The humor of the play is derived
from the fact that Peter Amos Dunn
the president of the insurance com
pany, brings to his own house, for
safe-keeping, the precious statue OF
Niobe, which his company has heavi
lyf insured. Electricians wiring the
house at the time, wrap the electric
coils about the feet of the statue
Dunn falls asleep and dreams that
the current passing through the
wires brings the statue to life. The
perfectly moral president finds him
self in a delicate and amusing posi-
ton in trying to explain to his shock
ed wife and other members OF his
household the presence of the seanti
/ ly clad maid, running wildly through
his home. At the crucial moment OF
his misery, however he awakens, ant
finds the statue in its ancient anC
peaceful condition.
AS the incarnated and animated
statue, Miss Dawn has numerous and
lunequalled opportunities for the dis
play of the captivating powers that
made Zone of Our Girls" such be
witching characterization. ADV.
