METABETCH0UAN
 CLUB DESTROYED,
 MEMBERS MOURN
Bridgeporters Spent Many a Pleasant Week in Cana
 dian Resort.

The Metabetchouan Fish & Game club, familiar to many Connecticut people, has been burned. Judge John H. Perry of Southport, is it's president and Judge John w.. Banks of Bridge port, its secretary.
 Fully half the members of the club are Bridgeporters to whom the loss will be a severe one. The Canadian lands leased by the club are in the Lake St. John country. a hundred miles or so north of Quebec. Many from this state have visited the wild region and enjoyed the hospitable clubhouse and the experiences of the woods The clubhouse has had the peculiarity of being without a wagon road. It could be approached only by railroad or canoe or on foot.
 A dispatch, Wednesday, from the guardian to Secretary Banks, says that the clubhouse has been totally de- stroyed by fire, following a. stroke of lightning. The guardian and his family barely saved their lives and did this, for a fact, barely. The con tents of the house all went, too. The lockers of the members were destroy ed.
 Everything is a total loss,' says a further dispatch received today. Judge Banks returned from the club only two weeks ago.

MAY UNRAvEl MYSTERY

The remains Of Henry Clay were
consigned to their last resting place
on earth last Friday, after the fun
eral service, which was held in the
Free Methodist church Friday, Rev.
]. Fred Iulg officiating. Rev. Iulg
preached a very fine and impressive
sermon. Miss Carrie Roger, Miss
Sandy, Leon Francisco and Mrs. Iulg
sang appropriate hymns. Frank Owen,
Frank Wood, Wilbur Wood, Frank
Roe and w. L. Halliday acted as
pallbearers, the remains being inter-
red in he old cemetery by the side
of his wife. .
Since his death it has been learned
from papers found in his possession
that he was a veteran of the Civil
war and his honorable discharge from
the army gives his name as Henry
Clay Reid under which name he was
buried. 1t has also been ascertained
that he formerly resided in Chill, N.
Y, and came away from there about
forty years ago, leaving a wife and
children. and later married again, his
last wife dying about twenty wears
ago in this city. Whether or not he
was ever divorced from his first wife
is not known.
His only property which his legal
heirs can share in after the indebt-
-edness is paid, consists of a half in
terest in his late home which was
decided to himself and daughter, Mrs:
Allie Knee, jointly several years ago.
