Arrested for Theft of Coat.

/ Louis Lee was arrested by Lieuten- ant McArthur, Monday evening upon the complaint of William SeEar and charged with stealing coat.
 When apprehended, he was at the station and when searched. at the station house, a ticket for Hartford was found in one of his pockets, so it is thought that he was intending to skip town.
 Lee, who is a colored man, has worked for Segar, came from Spring field a few weeks ago. He came to Segar's barn in North Coventry, and left a little later. After he had gone, it was found that several articles were missing, among them mack inaw. Segar notified the police head quarters and also came to this city. A little before eight o'clock, Segar saw Lee and the latter said that he was going to return to South Coven : try so Segar thought that he had only borrowed the coat. He was arrest ed little later by Officer NcArthur and the ticket was found in his pock- ct for Hartford, so he probably in tended to disappear. In his pockets was found also, Jacknife which he stole from another workman, and a Tie ckIacey which he stole.
 Mir. Segar said later that Lee all ways carried@-a razor with him.

One day. he was i'll in bed and while he lay there the idea of this special mechanical movement came to him, and he immediately started drawing plans for it, finishing at midnight. He tried it on one of the machines which he was installing and found that it worked all right. He ap- piled for the patent on December 1S, 1912 and it was granted December 2. 1915. The company was incorporated in January, 1914 with the following officers: William P. Jordan, presi- dent; Henry Bugbee, vice president; John Brick, secretary and treasurer, and T. J.

In the dead hours between one and two a. m, Monday, the big whistle of the Aspinook bleachery took bad spell. The case was mild at first, but after ten minutes of spasrnotlic bar rage work it got down to business and blew it's stentorian note steadily for half an hour or more.
 In, all parts of the sleeping town, people began to awaken and sit up and take notice. Windows were thrown open, people rushed to the street, the telephone exchange was besieged with anxious calls of inquiry. Members of the fire company hurried to the hose house, and then what?
 : After the excitement had started to abate a little, and there were no signs of fire to be seen, everyone thought of trouble at Aspinook.
 Miss Ruth Miner, on duty as night operator at the telephone exchange was Ruthie (not Johnny on the spot.
 It was at first believed. the sound being distorted by the half a gale of wind that was blowing, that it was the field or Versailles. Miss Miner called these out of town mills, finally learn ing the truth from Aspinook, then calmed every body's fears by repeating the story to all who called in.
 There was report from a Lisbon man ard also from g. resident of the south part of the town, that they were upon the point of starting. for Jewett City when the whistle stopped. The trouble was remedied as speedily as possible by the night men on duty at the plant.
