Woodstock, has infantiIe paralysis. The case has been attracting consid- erable attention the past few days be- cause authorities were undecided as to the exact nature of the case.
 This notice, posted by Arthur S. Hardy, eX-United States minister to Spain and a summer resident at Woodstock Hill, definitely gives the opinion of the secretary of the state board: August 24. Dr. Black, secre- tary of the state board of health, has authorized me to say in his name that as a result of his visit to Woodstock yesterday he has pronounced the case of Fred Wilcox to be infantile para lysis, and that he has instructed the health officer at Woodstock to main tain a strict quarantine of the Wilcox house. The above is confirmed by telephone by Dr. Wilcox. This state ment is made to put an end to con- trary rUmOrS.
 ARTHUR s. HARDY"
 Wilcox while Overheated last week, went swimming and later complained of being i'll. He had a sore throat and Dr. Joseph Spalding was called. lie diagnosed the case as pneumonia but later when the boy became worse where it was said that the case was infantile paralysis. The boy was again removed to the home of his grandfather, Chester Wilcox, and as a precautionary measure the house was quarantined and later the town of Woodstock.
 pr. Spaldtng reported the case as probable infantile paralysis and yes terday the two doctors came to Wood stock to investigate Their decision is made known in the bulletin posted this morning by EIr Hardy.
 Dr. Spaldtng said Thursday after noon that he had heard rumors that paralysis had set in and called this tor said that he asked Wilcox to move his arms, legs. and turn in bed, all of which Wilcox did without apparent effort.

There were two unusually queer cases for the city court officials to dis pose of Thursday morning. Locked up in the station house were two run away boys from New Britain and a man with a two -year-oId baby girl.
 The man said he was Morris Roy of Hartford. He alleged to Prosecuting Attorney Eric H. Johnson that his wife in Hartford was a habituaI drunkard and because of this he wanted to take the baby to New Bed ford where his mother-in-law would care for it. He had taken the train nearly to Putnam and had to be given a lift into the city. From here he was planning to walk to Anthony, R. l., where he had friends who would help him.
 The man was arrested on the com plaint of some one who alleged that he was intoxicated. The court off, cials and police did not think that the man was sufficiently intoxicated to warrant his appearing in court.
 Morris was without money but said he would work his way to his desti- nation. Instead of making the man do this, court officials and Q reporter put their hands into their pockets and made up a purse sufficiently large to take the man to Anthony.
