Fishing is forbidden in Ouadic pond
one of the faVorite resorts hereabouts
for the disciples of LAX Walton, but
this has not prevented men who like
the sport Of fishing through the ice
from taking a chance there with their
faVorite sport.
This being true, four of them ven
tured on to the ice Saturday and pro-
ceeded to have a good days sport. I'm
fortunately for their plans, Game
Warden Harry Battey had figured out
that the day would be good one upon
which to visit the body of water to see
that no one violated the law, and when
he appeared, shortly after the noon
hour, George E]rrivson, Earl c. He'd
bundy, Carl BynlnOn all of Worces-
ter, and Arthur W Johnson of the
town of Thompson were found fiShinC.
Game Warden Battey placed them
under arrest. Later they were pre-
scented before Justice Randolph H
Chandler of the town of Thompson.
They were fined in each case 81 and
costs, which made total of S2061
which each of the Quartette were re-
CURED to pay and did pay.
The men declared they did not know
that the pond, which is in the town of
Thompson, was closed to fishing, and
that they were not aware that thew.
were violating the law by going on
the pond and fishing for pickerel. In
cidentally all fishing through the ice
on ponds in Connecticut legally comes
to an end on Friday night of this
week.
There is special interest in the
meeting to be held Wednesday even
ing at the rooms of the Chamber of
Commerce. This is the meeting at
which it is expected that all of the
Putnam men who have been mustered
out of service will be present to dis
cuss plans for the formation of a vet
Grams association. While many of
Putnam's men are still wearing the
uniform that Uncle Sam provides for
his soldiers and sailormen' there are
many of the towns boys who have
| been mustered out of service and all
! of these it is hoped will be present
| at this meeting which has been called
! by Lieut.. Edward Perry, who served
in the United States medical corps.
This monday morning will witness
the opening Of another week of the
strike Of former employees of the
| Grosyenordale company at North
| GrOSVenOrdale. There are those who
express hope that this will be the last
week Of the strike, which has not in
volved the greater percentage of the
operati in the big plant. The strike
has not grown to materially greater
proportions since it was i1laugurated
and the general feeling among all who
are interested in the welfare of The
workers and the company is that an
agreement be reached as speedily as
possible.
While practically all the stores re-
NAMED open here Saturday Washing
tons birthday, the banks were closed
The mill operatives enjoyed either a
half or a whole holiday. Many flags
were displayed throughout the city.
Capt. J. II. BuIser, Putnam's new
captain of police, is now on duty. Sergt
Julius Cordier, who has been doine
day duty for the past few weeks, sale
on Saturday that he had not decided
whether he would remain on the force
or resgin. Officer COrdier feels that
having rendered the city faithful ser,
vice as a patrolman through a Ions
term of years, he should have beer
given consideration when the matter
of naming a new captain was up be,
fore the common council.
