HARLES AIMS
 BUYS VILLAGE FOR FACTORY
Head of Machine Making Firm Acquires All Turner vile For Automobile Man ufacturing Community Won't Move Local Busi- ness.

Rumors to the effect that the Max Ams Machine Go. might remove its plant to another section of Connecti- cut was very clearly denied today by Charles M. Ams, of Bridgeport and Mt. Vernon. N. Y.
 Incidentally it became known that MT. Aims had purchased the entire will ,lage of Turnerville, Conn, near Wiln- purpose of manufacturing automo- biles.
 The name Turnerville, which lorigi- mated because of the big carpet mills formerly located there. will be chang ed to Amstown and likewise the erec- ton of new concrete buildings on the site of the old brick mill will be com menced at once.
 MT. Ams said today: ''It is true that I have bought the village of Turner vile. I have also assumed the presi- dency of the Sterling Automobile Co.,. which is at present manufacturing a small roadster. I shall actively en- gage in the automobile business, but it should be understood clearly in Bridgeport that the new concern has nothing whatever to do with the local Max Aims factory. The two concerns are separate and distinct in every re- spect though I happen to be presi- dent of both.
 ''In my new venture, in which other Connecticut persons are associated, we shall manufacture two types of cars. the roadster and a large touring car. We shall attemupt to give the best value for the money of any car on the market and an expert corps of mechanical engineers is now engaged in working out details.
 Bridgeport need not worry about the plant here for we have no inten- ton of removing. The interests are in no way allied"
 From Willimantic it is learned that Mr. Ams contemplates and has already begun enormous improvements. He has proceeded to erect big concrete mill, has put all the other mills into shape, has installed his own electric lighting plant, stocked general store for the community. and greatly inn proved the old Turner homestead. In fact he has turned deserted village into a thriving town to, be named afer himself.
 Other Connecticut men said to be interested in the venture are: Fred D. Jordan, George E. Tinman and William

Bantam Lake, Aug. A.-Summer res- Fidents here were excited today when it became known that Tuesday night, Dehrns Ryan, boy. of Cranford, N. J., was Kidnapped from the tent in which he was under quarantine, and rushed in an automobile out of the town.

 As the canoe pushed of, Mir. Tim dale. manager of the camp. heard the scraptng on the sand and rushed to the shore. He shouted to the men to stop, but they ignored him and hur- riedly padded out into the lake. MT. Tin1ale gave chase in a notorboat but in the darkness ke lost track of the canoe.
 Apparently the boy was taken ashore at point some distance from the camp. placed in an automobile and taken out of the state.

MRS. J. II. MCCLURE

A telegram was received here Fri

death of Mrs. j. H. Mcclure, who left
here on November 10th with her
daughter, Mrs. McMillin, to spend the

Mrs. Sarah Byam at Knierim, Iowa,
with whom she was visiting ut the
time of her death.
Mrs. Mcclure was one of Dickey
county's and Ellendale's Oldest set
tiers, having come here from Illinois
in the early eighties with her husband
and filing on claim west of town,
making Glendale their home. Her
husband, who passed away in January
of 1913, was engaged in the meat
marketing business here for great
many years, opening shop few
years after coming here, and being
engaged in this business until his
death. Since the death of her hus-
band, Mrs. Mcclure has lived here at
her home in the north part of town,
her son, Frank, making his home with
her until the past few months. Since
that time, because of her poor health,
it was thought wisest that she not be
left alone, and she decided to visit
during the winter with her daughters
in Iowa, although she still loved Ell
lendale, and had no great desire to
leave. She enjoyed her usual health
up to the time of her death. She had
gone to her room to rest in the early
afternoon, as was her custom, and it
was there that Mrs. Byam found her
in the last long sleep upon going to
the room about four o'clock in the
afternoon.
Mary Elizabeth Zentmire was born
in Indiana on December IA, 1849. In
February, 1862, she was united in
marriage to James Hale Mcclure at
Keithsburg, ILL.,, where they resided
until moving to Glendale on July 4,
1882. Three children were born to
this union; Frank NJ. of Glendale

and Mrs. Sarah Byam of Knierim
Iowa, all of whom were present at the
funeral. The remains, accompanied
by Mesdames Byam and McMillin
