DIAMOND ROBBERY
Albert Talnose Held for Disappear ance of Precious Stones From Me Ewen and Chapin's Store.

Information relative to a diamond robbery was made public here Sat- urday- Precious stones to a value of nearly S1,O00 have been taken from the store of McEwen and Chapin.
 It is understood that discovery of the loss was not made until Friday, when a clerk in the store sought the diamond cases in the safe that some of the stones might be displayed in the show window.
 It is believed that the diamonds were taken from the safe as an op- portunity offered to some person who came into the store at a time when all of the clerks were busy and when the doors of the safe had been left open.
 In connection with their investiga- tion of the case officials took into cus- tody on Saturday Albert Talnose, and this led to knowledge of the frm's loss becoming generally known. Talnose was questioned at length by Prosecuting Attorney Arthur G. Bill, but stoutly denied having any knowl- edge of the disappearance of the stones or anything about them : He was locked up at the police sta- tion and was being held there, in de- fault of bonds, Sunday. Talnose is a young man who has been employed in a local mill, but for some time past has been incapacitated on account of injuries.

4 military and civil history of Con necticut that has come into the hand of Ralph C. Young tells in these days Of war something of the patriotism that animated the people of towns in this section of Windham county dur ing Civil war days.
 4 paragraph from one section of this history is of great local interest in the present stirring times:
 Tn Windham county the capture of Fort Sumter created a profound sen sation- This county led all other counties of the state. in her prompt response with Putnam and his men, when the Revolutionary war began at Lexington and she was not behind when the republic was assailed by in terual foes.
 A county mass meeting was held at Brooklyn. exLGovernor Chauncey S. Cleveland presiding. Earnest war speeches were made by the president, Colonel D. P. Tyler, Colonel Reach F. H. Bugbee and others. The sum Of S5.5O0 was subscribed on the spot Hon W H Chandler leading the pa per with $500; and a volunteer com Pany of 60 men was raised in 30 min ut5S- Resolutions were adopted de- claring that the citizens of the county would spend their last dollar and ex- haust their last drop of blood rather than consent to a disruption of the Union
 There was also this first week of recruiting a meeting at Putnam worth Df it's name and of the crisis. E. Will kinson presided and speeches were made by Rev W. c. Walker, Dr. Plympton. c. w. Phillips and others Patriotic resolutions were adopted and thirty men instantly volunteered
 A war meeting was held at Dan ieIsonville (Ki1Hngly) with good eff feet There was also a large meeting at Dayville, where, in less than 40 minutes. 56 men enrolled themselves. the venerable Captain John Day at their head. Windham had a similar meeting and raised g.. 900 to equip a company and voted to pay all vol unteers SIP a month extra and s1 a week for each child under 12 years of age Canterbury made a similar Iib- eraI offer Pomfret was even more generous, voting S2O Q month to each volunteer. for the three months ser vice. and six dollars a month to the wife. and s2 a month to each child under II years"
 This splendid spirit of '61. reflect ing the spirit Of independence of '76, is yet alive in old Windham county, as attested by the proud place to which it's young men have brought it among the counties of Connecticut in furnishing volunteers for the giant struggle that has for it's aim the crushing of the most hideous and bar
