STABBING AFFAIR
Henry Lewis Cut in the Back by En-
 ploye He Discharged
Injured Mans Wound Found Not to be
 Serious

Henry Lewis, boss of the colored construction gang of the N. Y. N. Il X
 H. Railroad, stationed in Putnam, was stabbed in the back shortly after eleven o'clock Saturday night by a man whose name he says he does not know and whom the police have been unable to locate. The wound inflicted
 was ia slight one as the knife blade struck Lewis right shoulder blade stopping further penetration. The man WAS taken to the Day kimball hospital where the wound was dressed.
 The police say that the story told by
 Lewis was that he discharged one of his men Saturday morning and that the man, whose name he says he does not know, told him he would kill him before Sunday morning. While Lewis and three other men were seated around table in the bunk house in the local railroad yard listening to a phonograph, shortly after eleven o'clock Saturday night, the assailant sneaked into the building, went up be- hind Lewis, jsbbed knife into him, and then fled.
 Lewis then went down town where he met patrolman Addis Welch. The patrolman says that Lewis came up 10 him and said that .there had been a little trouble at the bunk house and that man had cut him up. The of ficer said that at first he could not be lieve that Lewis was injured but on pulling up the back of his coat he found that his clothing was saturated with blood Lewis was taken to the office of Dr. Saretski, who examined the wound and advised the man to go
 to the hospital.
 Al the hospital it was found that there was n clean cut about two inches long and an inch and a halfiin depth. Patrolmen Welch and Bouthellette | went to the bunk house but did not | find the man that did the cutting nor were they able to learn his name.

Skeleton Command as Nucleus for Put.
 nam Military Company

There seems to be growing desire among some of our citizens to see a military company organized in Put nam. Some weeks ago Arthur D. Mc- Intyre, Jr., son of Major A. D. McIn. tyre, wrote headquarters at Hartford to find out the prospects for adding an- other company to the national guard. He received word that there were no vacancies at present but the matter would be taken under consideration and placed on file.
 Now Mayor John J. McGarry, for merly a lieutenant in old Company G, has taken tho matter up with the ad- jutant general and he has received in- formation that attention will at least be given to forming skeleton com. mand here, platoon that might be a nucleus of full stren gth company.
 Young Mcintyre has had military training at n New Jersey military school. Mayor McGari Y has had train. ing and for years has been desirous of seeing company formed in Putnam. Both believe that there is plenty of ex. celIent material available from which a company can be organized here.

FREIGHT EMBARGO
No Incoming Freight in Less Than Car
 load Lots Received in Putnam
Freight Handlers Quit Work. CoIored
 Men Supply Their Places

There is an mbargo on all incoming freight in Putnam over the N. Y. N. H. X H. railroad. This was stated Thursday by k. $. Danforth, station agent. When MT. Danforth was ask ed the reason for the situation he said that it is due 10 the congested condi. tion of the local railroad yard and freight depot. The embargo applies to all shipments of less than carload lots. When Mir. Danforth was asked if there WAS trouble at the freight depot with the employees he had nothing to say.
 It is understood that the freight handlers demanded time and half for Sunday work and when the demand was refused some ten or twelve quit their jobs and refused to work last Sunday. Since then gang of twenty colored freight handlers has been brought to Putnam by the railroad company and it is said that freight has been piling up on them. MT. Dun. forth says that he expects that the em- bsrgo will be lifted in day or two.
 Putnam is one of the most i'm DOT. tant transfer points on the New Haven system between New York and Bos- ton. A large quantity of freight is re- ceived here and transferred to other points adding greatly to the work and to the importance of the station as a shipping point.
 Meanwhile the local express compa. ny is doing large business in distrib- uting merchandise shipped by express to local concerns who gre unable to get goods by freight. The embargo ap- plies only to incoming freight. All outgoing shipments are taken care of.

Military Census Nearing Completion

At the headquarters of the military census committee this morning it was stated that 2,602 blanks have been sent to Hartford from Putnam.
 The work will be carried on for some days longer but the committee is now working on the stragglers. The bulk of the work is done but perhaps a few hundred more names may yet be added.
 or course 1t has been. found that some of the people whose names ap. peared on the card index list had mov- ed away, others had died and some were on twice under different forms of spelling. These are weeded out as fast as discovered.
 The committee is still urging those who have not done so to make out their lists. Putnam is not ashamed of it's showing and the work has been well done.

Watch Your Step" At Bradley Theatre

Froth and frivoIity and melody, pretty stage pictures and prettier girls, dancing men, prancing men; in short, everything comb bined to make a merry concoction called "Watch Your Step" which will Idispense it's glories at the Bradley theatre this Friday evening.
 The show goes with a snap and vim and the performers are all full of "pep.n MT. Berlin's music, much of it has been heard here, goes along at a rapid pace. There is not lull from start to finish. It is a veritable feast of ragtime, an avalanche of syncopa tion. One of the cleverest numbers in the show is "Old Operas in New Way" in which excerpts from Grand Operas are interpolated in syncopated form. Other song hits are "The Syn copated Walk" "A Simple Melody, U "Lead Me to Love-" "Settle Down in a One. Horse Town" n,""I Love to Have the Boys Around Me-"

FIRST CONVICTION
,oh0 H. Morrison Fined for Violating
 Automobile Law
ro,Iscted Laundry in Truck Bearing
 Dealers Numbers

Iobn II. Morrison of Danielson, driver for Charles Pellett, garage owner, plead guilty, in the city court this Friday morning. to operating an ontomobiIe without having the proper markers. He paid fine of s5 and costs of sS 09.
 morrison's arrest is the first in east a,n Connecticut under the recently nromulgated ruling of the secretary of state that hereafter no dealer shall be allowed to operates his cars under his dealers license numbers except for the nnrpose of demonstrating cars to cus- toners, and for adjusting and testing.
 The secretary sent circular letter to all police departments in the state re- auesting this laws strict enforcement. Captain of Police Joseph Ryan noti- fled the local dealers of the ruling and letter and they have procured the necessary numbers.
 PeIlett, who was in court, admitted thst he knew of the letter which was shown him by Constable Gfimshaw of Killingly whom he claimed told him that he should take no action until he had written the secretary for further instructions. He also claimed that the secretary was to meet dealers at the capitol next Tuesday for a confer enee and that in other cities there were to be no arrests during that time until the matter is adjusted.
 Pellett also intimated that Putnam dealers are running on their dealers licenses but this is denied by Captain Ryan.
