Anna Glowaslzi of Griswold has brought suit against Adam Rodziszew- ski of GriswoId claiming $2,500 dam ages. The complaint alleges that the plaintiff and defendant were the heirs at law and only children of Caroline Rojeslxi, late of Griswold, who died intestate, leaving Adam Rojesld and Anna Glowasl1i, her heirs at law, and her husband sole beneficiaries.
 On Dec 17. 1915, the defendant sold to Mary RoJesli property belonging to himself and the plaintiq for $1,750 and on that day for the purpose of pro- curing the signature of the plaintiff to the bill of sale and receipt, falsely represented to the plaintiff that the signature was for the purpose of &C., know1edging and receipting for the sum of $A6O which he had previously paid to her as her share of a certain part of said property.
 The defendant has not paid to the plaintiff any part of the $1,750. al- though as an heir at law she would be entitled to one-half of the sum, the plaintiff claims.

EAST LYME MAN
 FOUND DEAD SUNDAY
Was Lying Under Tree With Hand-
 kerchief Under His Head

Charles Soule, who has been miss ing from his home in East Lyme for the past two days was found dead Sunday morning about II o'clock. He was lying under a tree about seventy rods from the house. Mr. Soule was about 65 years old and resided with his sister, Mrs. Henry Johnson, near station A on the East Lyme trolley road. Friday Mrs. Johnson had oc- casion to go to the store and when she returned found her brother miss ing and the house locked. She thought nothing of the matter, supposing that he had gone to one of the neighbors and as he did not return that day or Saturday she had a search made Sum- day morning which resulted in the discovery of his body under the tree situated near the house. The dead man was lying on his side with a handkerchief under his head. It is thought that he had an attack of heart trouble with which he was afflicted, had lain down and died shortly after leaving the house. The body was found by William Rogers, a neighbor. Mir Soule was formerly of Deep River but has resided with his sister for the past six years.

woMAN's BODY FOUND
 IN MoosUP RIVER
Belief That She Fell Through Railroad Trestle - Firemen Called Out to Search.
(special to The BuIletin,)

Especial to The BuIletin.)
 Central Village, April 24-Last night about s.10 the fire alarm sounded and when the fire department answered the call 1t was found that there was no fire, but that two young ladies. Miss Lillian Cooper and Miss Barba- ra Popple had caused the alarm to be sent in because they believed that a man had fallen from the railroad bridge into the river. It seems that the two girls were crossing the foot bridge over the Moosup river when they heard groans of some per- son on the railroad bridge which IS a short distance above the bridge on which the girls were and shortly aft erward they heard a splash in the wa ter. Believing that someone had fall- en into the water they immediately went to the mill near by for assist ance and from there the alarm was sent Tn. Upon investigation 1t was round that in all probability someone had been walking along the track and had been injured by the train which is due there about seven-thirty and that in trying to cross the railroad bridge after the accident had lost his balance and fallen into the water. The firemen in several boats dragged the river Neith grappling irons and up to late hour nothing had been discovered of the body. The mill dam is a short distance below the railroad bridge and the river runs very swiftly in that place making the search very difficult. The search was continued today and the body of Mrs. Prudence Magnam of Putnam, who had been missing since Sunday afternoon. was found in the | Moosup river late this afternoon by her son-in-law. Dennis Donovan and | George Torrey. It is believed that she fell through the trestle bridge last | night. She was on her way to this | town to visit her daughter.
 Mrs. Magnam who was SO years od.
 had been in tha habit of coming from
 her home in htnam every Sunday
 evening to visit her daughter who lives in this place. It is thought that Mrs. | Magnam was carried by her regular | stopping place on the trolley and not
 knowing the town very we'll had be- came confused in trying to cross the railroad trestle had fallen into the riv-
 CT. Her son-in-law called her Putnam
 home this morning and was told that
 Mrs. Magnam had gone to Central | Village last evening. Further search
 was made which resulted in the finding
 of the body below the dam

SCHOOL CHILDREN TO
 OBSERVE ARRoR DAY.
Will Plant Trees and Study Birds on
 Friday of This Week.

Arbor and Bird day. proclaimed for Friday of this week by Governor Mar GUS H. Holcomb, will be observed in the local schools Trees are to be planted by the children and birds will be studied. Supt. Edward J. Graham of the local schools has received a copy of the governors proclamation, which reads in part as follows:
 It is a fair world in which our lines have been cast and few parts of it are fairer than this little state of ours. If 1t lacks the grandeur of others .moun- tains or the hmitless expanse of oth- CTS prairies, yet here is a wonderful mingling of wooded hills, greed mead ows and well watered valleys. And if the wild life about them has not the brilliant colorings of tropic lands. yet our birds are beautiful and their songs are sweet. We are apt to forget how much an understanding of these things can add to the richness of our lives and what a duty we owe to those who follow us to preserve for them the benefits we may so freely enjoy. It takes but moment to fell a tree it takes years to replace 1t; a careless stone or shot may kill a nesting bird. and with her die the generations of her kind whom her care might assure to the coming years. To emphasize these things the legislature has re- quired that a day be set apart each year for their consideration, and in designate Friday, April 18th, as Arbor and Bird day. requesting that it be SC observed in the schools and elsewhere as to awaken us to a greater apprecia- tion of natures workings and natures God

AT THE DAVIS THEATRE.
Vaudeville and Moving Pictures


 So great was the demand for seats at the Davis theatre on Monday night that for a time the box office had to be closed up as there were no more seats left. This was between the first and second shows and the office was again open for business at the begin ming of the second show.
 The program of vaudeville and nov ing pictures ranks among the best seen at the theatre this season. Head ing the bill was the Stanley Trio, di- rect from the Keith theatre in Boston and the second headliner was Hartz and Evans, who presented a singing, talking and dancing specially. Tom Kuma presented a Japanese novelty act and got a big hand. The comedy act presented by the Stanley Trio is something new to Norwich and made decided hit with the audiences.
 Heading the movie program was Bullets and Brown Eyes, a Triangle feature film in five reels. Along with this feature story was a Keystone comedy called Woman with Charlie Chaplin in the leading role.
