FIRE IN STORE HOUSE At DADY
SILK MILL

Fire that is thought to have started
in the coal pile did some injury to the
store house at the Dady silk mill,
Monday morning.
Joseph Dumas, boiler tender, said
that he came to the mill about five
o'clock in the morning, and proceeded
to arrange the fire in the boiler He
went into the store house several
times, and everything appeared to be
all right. About half past six he
opened the front door of the mill and
then went into the store house again
and saw blaze on the west side. He
ran out and seeing man passing, told
him to ring in an alarm.
The alarm was rung about 20 min
utes to seven from the box at the cor
ner of Bridge and Elm streets. Mean
while Mr.. Dumas had attached a small
garden hose and was doing all he
could to subdue the flames when the
department arrived.
The fire shot up through partitions
to the roof, and before the blaze was
extinguished by the department the
building was somewhat burned, but it
can be repaired.

NO VOTE ON THE LICENSE
QUESTION

The time has expired for filing a
petition for a vote on the license
question, and as no petition has been
put into the hands of the town clerk,
Putnam will remain in the wet col
umn for another year. The business
of liquor selling is in a precarious
condition, and the temperance forces
believe it is on its last legs, as they
look to see countrywide prohibition in
the not distant future. On December
| the brewing of beer will be suspend
ed under government order, but the
supply on hand is expected to last
some months.
Just what effect the payment Of a
license fee Of $3.50 will have if ma
tional prohibition is carried is caus-
ing some discussion. The commits
sioners of New London county have
been quoted as expressing the opinion
that in such an event the license
money paid will be returned pro rata
for the time unexpired.

LETTER FOR ADAM YANCH

Postmaster Kenney Of Mechanics

dressed to Adam Yaneh, West street,
Mechanicsville.
A few weeks ago the name of Priv
ate Yanch came out in the list of cas-

that the man lived in Mechanicsvilie
in the town of Thompson but he could
not be located, and it was decided that
it was some other Mechanicsville that

letter is from Washington, and prob
ably has something to do with the
soldier reported in the casualties. In
formation is wanted by the Mechan-
icsville postmaster.

heart came up in my throat when we
reached the wire opening which had
been strongly closed and eriss-crossed
with barbed wire and we found we
had been trapped by some sniper who
had seen us go through
1--WE set a number of men on
guard and started like mad men cut
ting the wire with our strong cutters,
and it was no time before we had
clear passage and sent out to get
back the guard and sneak back to our
own lines safe again. We gathered in
all the guard mine of theml. and
started back. We travelled about one
hundred feet from there and we
heard another noise on our right We
lay low and soon heard the talking of
number of Germans. There were
not many of them, and no doubt they
were out in their front lines. We had
them covered and waited for light to
come to make a clean sweep of them
all. About half past two another pa
troll party went by without seeing us.
and the Germans we were watching
started after the other patrol. Well,
we Just let them get about 100 yards
away from us in the open, and then
opened fire on them, and you should
have seen them scatter, Some fell and
got up again; some are lying there
yet, and some had spunk enough to
fire back and get some of our men,
my bunk mate being shot iii the hand
"The best part of it was that our
other party did not know which was
which in the dark and laid low until
the Germans we chased ran right into
them, and they gave them another
load of shot which thinned the party
down to practically nothing. We sig
nailed them then and they joined us
after making damned sure who we
were. and we started on a double
quick crawl to our dugouts About
five minutes later the Germans
ploughed the ground so with heavy
artillery that we couldn't see trace
of our dirty work in the morning. We
lost one man. They lost all of fifteen.

MARTHA THAYER
BITTEN BY DOG
Child of 3, Daughter of MIR.
and Mrs. c. A. Thayer, In
iured When Animal Snapped
At Her Saturday.
English Setter Is Confined and Under
Observation.

Martha Thayer, the three-year old
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles A.
Thayer, Bradley street, was bitten In
the lin by Z setter dog owned by her
uncle, IN Willimantic, Saturday after
nocr, while she was on a visit with
her father and mother. She was tax
| en- at once to the Day kimball hos
pital in Putnam, where she received
treatment by DIR. S. B. Overlook, and
it 3 expected that she will be dis
charged in a day or two.
Mr.. and Mrs. Thayer and children
motored TO Willimantic Saturday at
ternoon and visited at the home Of
Hrs. Thayer's father. Just before
they were to leave on the return trip
to Putnam they stopped at the office
of Mrs. Thayer's brother. While they
were there the little girl petted the
dog, and suddenly, without warning
or apparent cause, it sprang at her,
biting her in the mouth and making a
serious wound. Nine stitches were
taken by the surgeon.
The first thought was to kill the
dog, but a veterinary in Willimantic
advised that it be kept in confinement
end under observation for two weeks.
The animal has been a great pet, has
always been gentle, and has never
shown a vicious trait.
The little girl was standing but a
few feet from her mother when the
dog bit her, but it snapped so quickly
no aid could be given.

JOHN OCLAlRE, NO. GROSVENORDALE, in
u. S. PATROL THAT SLAUGHTFRS GERMANS
PATROL TRAPPED BEHIND GERMAN ENHANCEMENT
GETS OUT AND KILLS FIFTEEN GERMANS
Nerve Racking Duty Enjoyed BY Touellotte High School
Graduate.

The following letter written by
John O'Claire. a North Grosvenordale
boy and a graduate of the Tourtel-
lotte Memorial High school. is a vivid
picture of the nerve racking, hair
raising, patrol duty that is being done
in No Mans Land. The story makes
the blood tingle, but as to whether the
readers would have liked to have been
| in the party, opinion may be divided
The letter was written on July End,
to Frank Rich. janitor of the school,
a fast friend of Private O'Clair, and is
as follows:
Mr. Rich: -
"A line or two to tell you that
am feeling fine and having good
time in general. | finished my rest a
few days ago, and have since taken
my place in the line once more for a
number of days have been feeling

anything just now. And | must say

thing because | had gone over the top
three times the last time | was up to
the line, but this time have been out
on patrol in No Mans Land every
night since | landed here, and of all
the experiences | had mine night be-
fore last | must tell you of it.
Il was told the position we were to
take. and the course we were to fol

with us, and we started about y. Is

nor a gutter. for in the first place
silence is essential, and then again
you can't get frightened and run as
you would expose the whole patrol.

our manouever We followed our
course, sneaking here and there like
cats, and finally got far enough to
spread out and start trouble. We
heard noise to our left and realized
that we could not use our opening in
the barbed wire, and decided to
sneak through the German line OF
barbed wire into their land We
found the opening and went through
one by one about twenty feet apart
and discovered few machine gun EN-
placements. We hung around about
an hour hidden in the bushes and
waiting for possible two or three Jer-
| rvs who would be so unfortunate as
to come near the Yankee line for in

we started through the opening back
to our lines without sound. My

HANDEL HAD HIS
WAY W|THC UzzONI

An anecdote OF hundred years ago
says:
Perhaps the most romantic career
IL that OF Francesca Cuzzoni. A
highly successful performance at the
age of nineteen established her Italian
reputation. and she soon crossed the
channel to receive the stamp of Brit
ish approval. By good fortune her
manager was no other than George
Frederick Handel, whose iron will
and gruff temper stood him in ad-
mirable stead to cope with the willful-
ness of one accustomed to see every
one bow before her slightest wish.
Their opposing natures naturally
brought them into collision.
CuzZoni refused to sing the music
Handel had written for her. whereat
the latter brought her to terms by
attempting to throw her out OF a win
dow. The remedy proved most salu-
tary, for never did the singers art
show itself to better advantage than
in that one song. Henceforth she was
triumphant to the very manifest jeal-
ousy and distress of certain other
ladies who had hitherto carried every
thing before them. She did more than
charm the ears of her auditors. AL
The Washington times., 1918-12-05

though her taste in sartorial matters
is said to have been lamentably poor,
the costume I'm which she appeared in
"Roselinda" became the prime requi-
site for those ladies who desired to
be considered in the fashion.
About this time she appeared in a
piece with the celebrated and accoT
plished Faustina- The result was a
foregOne conclusion. and. as was to be
expected. IL proved a case of two suns
occupying the same armament. Lon
don society split into two opposing
factions, led respectively by the Count
and Countess of Pembroke, for the
support of the rivals.
Violent scenes occurred in the the
alter. while the poets, among whom
Ambrose Philips was conspicuous,
carried on war without. Finally the
directors in despair determined to dis
pense with the shrewish Cuzzoni in
favor OF her amiable natured asso-
ciate. To cut the knot they employed
the expedient OF offering F'austina
salary one guinea higher than her
colleague.
Cuzzzoni left London in a rage. but
not without having elected from an
unknown admirer in the gallery the
compliment that she possessed a nest
of nightingales in her belly" Many
regretted her departure, and, as one
writer OF the time expressed IL what
4 beautiful mixture II would be IL the
excellences OF these two angelic
beings could be united in a siqgle in
