serve had been depleted from 1000
tons to 1900 in order to afford re-
lief. and that all new orders includ-
ing contracts for nearly 100000 tons
from abroad had been refused. The
great difficulty, he said, was that a
very sudden and unexpected demand,
increasing the country's paper con-
sumption over 30 per cent in the year
had entirely overun the total avail
able supply. Moreover, nearly every
item of expense in manufacture had
been increased. and the Importation

Canadian authorities shortly after the
American duty on Canadian paper

The accompanying illustration is of the road from
Lexington to Concord in Massachusetts. Over this
road, now a fine state boulevard, the British regiment
marched on the morning of April 10, 1775, after their
massacre of the colonists on Lexington Green, to Con-
cord in search of the ammunition hidden there by the
Boston colonists.
While the British searched for the stores of powder
and shot, minute men fastened from the surrounding
country. A company of them gathered at the bridge
over Concord river and here Americans for the first
time were ordered to fire on British troops. Defeated
at the bridge, the British retreated over the road to

father just before she received her death wound, in an effort to protect her parent. Elliott then declared that he intended to dynamite the house, blowing the whole place to atoms.
 Rushed Past Elliott.
 This declaration drove Mrs. Pettis to desperation and notwithstanding Elliott's threats that he would shoot her if she again called for help she life and rushed down stairs and out of the house to call a neighbor. FL liott's nerve may have failed him at this moment, for he did not shoot and soon afterwards was seen hastily re- treating through the country that leads to the Rhode Island line.
 Murderer 47, Girl 2s.
 The whole tragedy is due to the in sane jealousy of Elliott. Miss Pettis never encouraged his intentions. He is 47 years of age; she was but 2S. Each morning it was her custom to drive from her home to West Thomp- son, where she put her team up at the Cunningham place and proceeded by trolley to her school in Grosvenordale.
 Elliott was an ernploye about the Cunningham place. A part of his du- ties was to care for Miss Pettis' horse. He seemed to take delight in doing this service until such time as he dis SOh SO lAAcSI HIS 5AO"1AAS tOhC AOt IAlC pretty teacher was not being return ed. Then he grew sullen and moody, and, as later events have shown, to plot against her life.
 Maddened by Jealousy.
 Last Saturday Miss Pettis attended the meeting of Quinebaug Pomona grange with Little River grange at Hampton. She was accompanied by a Thompson gentleman, an acquaint- ance. Miss Pettis was much interest ed in grange matters and was a past master of the grange in Thompson.
 Elliott evidently heard of Miss Pet

tis' visit to Hampton. Monday he went to Thompson and called upon Thomas Ryan, contractor and also a grange member, and bought some sticks of dynamite. He remained for a con- siderable time, much of which he de- voted to talking about Miss Pettis and asking as to her friends, interests and pastimes.~ From Thompson he evil dently came down to Putnam, for he was in this city Monday evening" He was not a heavy drinker, but did drink some, and it was said that he in dulged while here. It is believed that he went direct from Putnam to the Pettis place and secreted himself.
 Razors, DirI<s, Etc., in Handbag.
 He had with him a handbag, which he left at the Pettis place in his hur- ried departure. This bag has been found to contain seven razors, two dirkS, pair of handcuffs, a police wrist-twister and two sticks of dyna- mite. When Elliott bought the dyna- mite he said he was going to use it for blowing out stumps of trees at the place where he was employed.
 Mrs Pettis says that Elliott was not at the Cunningham place to hitch up Miss Pettis' horse when she was returning from school Monday even ing. When she arrived home she told her mother that Miss Cunningham had met her and told her that hereaf- ter she would care for the horse and that they would, between themselves, arrive at satisfactory arrangements for settlement. Miss Pettis then inquired of Miss Cunningham as to what had become of John and, she told her mother, the reply was that she didn't know; that she couldn't understand John of late.
 Purchased 100 Rounds of Ammunition.
 The men who engaged in the chase after Elliott Tuesday were taking their lives in their hands. It is known that he purchased 100 rounds of ann muniticn at the Chandler and Morse

store in this city last Saturday and that he is armed with two automatic revolvers, which he can handle with deadly accuracy. He is a mental de- fective, leering, cruel degenerate who will not hesitate to kill again if he gets the opportunity of disposing of anyone attempting to capture him. He may have some dynamite with him. but this is uncertain. Some of the bullets in his possession are of the steel-jacketed kind, others of lead Samples were picked up in and about the Pettis place, where he must have fred a score of shots.
 Had a Bad Record.
 Elliott has a bad record and it was stated Tuesday by relatives who were. at the Pettis place that, years ago, In a Rhode Island town Tfverton some another young woman and had to serve prison sentence for it. Elliott is of medium stature, man with stopped shoulders and bent head and eyes that peer out at one from under dropping and shifting eyelids His state of mind was tersely summed up by one who knows him we'll in the words He is girl crazy"
 Pettis Successful Contractor.
 MT. Pettis was known hereabouts as a splendid citizen. He was a contrac- tor and has been doing work at the Miller place in Thompson, where he had several men employed.
 Miss Pettis was Q graduate of Put nam High school, class of 1868, and has many friends in this city She was Q bright young woman and very popular.
