dirt that had been put there recently.

THE STANTON HOUSE
MAY GO TO CLINTON,
Report That Homestead, With Valu-
able Contents, May Be Given to Ma
tive Town.

There is much local interest in the
will of the late Lewis E. Stanton, a
former resident of Norwich Mr.. Stan
ton was a native of Clinton and he
died in the family homestead in which
he was born. He had always been deep
ly tnteresten in his home town, and
the old house has become through his
own and his brother Johns efforts in
collecting, a sort of museum of inter
esting antiques. Mr. Stanton, how
ever. explained to a recent visitor
that many Of the choice things in the
house had been collected by his
brother and the latter died so sudden
ly that he never explained the history
of many of the objects he had collect
ed.
There is a. runor that the home
may, by the will. be turned over to
the town Of Clinton with it's interest
ing contents, as paranent museum
and memorial. While Mr.. Stanton
lived comfortabl, he was not waste
full, and for a long time he had an
excellent business. so that by judicious
investments he became worth a con-
siderable sum, estimated by his friends
at several hundred thousand dollars.

ANOTHER CASE OF
INFANTILE PARALYSIS
Daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Michael
Shugrue Has Had the Disease For
Three or Four Weeks.

Wtllimantic, Conn, Sept. 5.-Eealthl
Officer DR.. G. A. Jenkins stated Tues \
day night that Eliene Shugrue, the
two year-old daughter Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Michael Shugrue of 90 Maple
avenue. had been suffering from in
fantile paralysis for the past two or
three weeks. DR.. Jenkins was called
Ito the home Tuesday evening as the
child was unable to use one of her
legs. The doctor at once pronounced
the trouble as paralysis, but as the
child is past the quarantine stage it
was useless to quarantine the home.
The parents of the child, who had had
no medical attendant since the child
was taken sick, thought that the rea-
son that the child favored the leg was
because it had been lying on 1t when
confined to the bed.
1t is thought that there are more
similar cases in the city at this time.
