While on duty as watchman at the new bridge being erected over the river on the easterly side of the Yer sailles Sanitary Fible Mills at Ver-- sailles, Frank Corey attempted to stop two men who insisted on making a general survey of the construction Monday morning, at 1.30 o'clock. The men came from a point west of the bridge and demanded that Corey loan them. a lantern or they would take possession of the same Corey warm ed them to continue on their way and not melest property that he had been assigned to guard.
 One of the disturbers attempted to help himself to a lantern and Corey grapp1ed with him. Intruder No. took a hand in the fracas and accord ing to a run1or current in town on Monday it was some go. -
 Corey weighs about 215 pounds and stands five feet II inches. Watch man Corey is~ we'll versed in the art ot self defense and it is needless to say that the lanterna continued to burn during the dark hours of early Monday morning.
 ': During the mixup Corey proved that he was there and is ready. to meet any emergency which may arisc during his. duties at the bridge.
 MT. Corey appeared in town Mon- day but would not make statement concerning the trouble. Judging from Corey's appearance hA nroved

ROBERT RUST
 FOUND DEAD IN GARAGE
Gardener on the Hoppin Estate May
 Have Been Killed by Gas.

Robert Rust of Pomfret was found dead in his garage at that place dur ing the early hours of Sunday morn ing. by Mrs. Rust. MT. Rust had been dead for a number of hours and it is believed that either heart disease or gas discharging from the exhaust of his automobile within the closed build ing caused death.
 MT. Rust, who had been employed for years as gardener at the Hoppin estate, had been in the habit of driv- ing his car over to Putnam Saturday evenings. Last Saturday evening he went out to the garage after supper to make the car ready for the trip and the fact that he did not return to the house before leaving caused no uneasiness there. for it was taken for granted that he had gone to Putnam.
 When midnight came and went without his having returned, Mrs. Rust became anxious and went out to the garage, to find her husbands body stretched on the floor.
 The announcement Of his death came as a shock to his many friends in Pomfret and also in Putnam, where he was well known.
