MEMORIALS FOR
 THE HIGH SCHOOL
Tatem Family Establish Prize Fund In Daughters Mem
 ory
Pupils Raise Fund For Memorial tc
 Ellsworth Sabin

There is much interest in the an- nouneement which has just been made of the establishment of two notable memorials to deceased members of the student body of the Putnam High school. Both of these memorials will be presented to the school on Parents Night.
 The first memorial has been estab- lished by Mir. and Mrs. James M. Ia tenn in memory of their daughter, Eden Tatem, who died several years ago. The memorial established by Mir. and Mrs. Tatem consists of a fund for the maintenance of prize award to the student who at the end of each school year has the highest standing in literary studies. X shield, com memorating the fund, has been placed in the school. From the income of the fund, a selection of books will be purchased every year by the principal of the school together with the head of the English department. These books will be marked with Il special book plate and then presented to the honor pupil in English, The idea, while a unique one, is bound to be popular with the students and should act as a distinct stimulus to the stud ies in English composition and rhetor- ic.
 The second memorial to be estab- lished is in memory of Ellsworth Sa- bin, son of Mir. and Mrs. John P. Sa- bin, who so tragically met his death on October 12th when he was electro cuted by wire from his amateur wireless aerial which had crossed one of the electric lighting company's con ductors. Sabin was sophomore Ill the high school and was very generally popular among his fellow students.
 The fund for the Sabin memorial was raised by voluntary subscription among the puipls. It is proposed to buy large picture of Abraham Lin coin. which will be properly marked and hung as memorial in the school assembly hall.
 As previously stated, both of these memorials will be presented to the school at the next Parents Night en- tertainment.

STOVE BLACKING IS
 CAUSE OF DEATH
Mrs. Augusta Peterson of Pom- fret Horribly Burned In
 Home Accident
Dies At Day kimball Hospital On Thursday Night.-Grandson In
 Motor Wreck

While backing the stove at her home on the Hamlet road in Pomfret yesterday morning, Mrs. Augusta Peterson, a resident of the town for almost thirty years, was fatally burn ed. Mrs. Peterson died at the Day KimbalI Hospital at an early hour this morning. Just how the accident oc- cured is not known, even to Mrs Peterson's family, as she was alone at the time. A small boy hearing the woman scream ran for a neighbor, who on entering the kitchen found Mrs. Peterson lying on the floor, prac- tically all of the clothing burnt off her body. She immediately telephoned to the home of Mrs. Peterson's daughter Mrs. Anna Lindgren, who lives at the north end of Pomfret and works al the Pomfret School. Mrs. Lindgren and her daughter arrived at the house and the ambulance was called to take Mrs. Peterson to the hospital. Her entire body was badly burned, only the feet escaping the flames.
 It is believed that Mrs. Peterson was polishing the kitchen stove wher the preparation she was using for the purpose took fire and enveloped hel in flames
 Mrs. Peterson is the grandmother of Ole Lindgren, who was injured ir the collision on Hospital Hill last Sat urday night when the Buick car own ed by Peter Murphy of Pomfret and driven by his son met the Cadillac cal owned by Dr. Olmsted of the Pomfret School. Another member of the Lind, gren family met with severe coast ing accident last winter.
 Mrs. Peterson was born in Sweden about seventy years ago. She has many friends in Pomfret who were shocked to learn of her death.

he and the other two members of the party were guilty of no wrong doing. With the assistance of Fred Franklin, who happened to be passing at the mo- ment, the car was directed to the po- lice station and the three prisoners, one woman and two men, were locked up.
 Occupying the front seat of the car was Edward Shackett, 20, with the owner of the car. Bradley, while on the back seat of the car was Mrs. Bradley, sister of Shackett. On ar rival at the police station it was found that the automobile was filled with bundles of booty which the robbers had secured at break which they had made earlier in the evening at Marion, Mass, near New Bedford This consisted of mems and women's wear ing apparel, blankets, art objects, sill verware of all kinds, and sundry other objects belonging, it has been proved, to Francis W. Hobbs and F. W. Hobbs, Jr. The prisoners at first declar- ed that they owned the property, then that they had bought them, and finally that they had committed a robbery and had stolen them.
 Immediately after the arrest Cap tain Bulger and Officer Elliott of the state police arrived, but for nearly five hours the prisoners were given a terrific examination. Finally from the separate confessions of the trio it was found that they had been responsible for the sensational breaks made dur ing the past two weeks into the houses of Arthur s. Hardy, Woodstock, and the Pomfret residences of Mrs. W. H. Elliot, Dr. John c. Jay, and the unoc- cupied property known as Gray stoke" and belonging to Miss Marion Harvey of Pomfret.

A sigh of deep-seated relief and gratitude could practically be heard throughout this part of Windham County when the news was confirmed on Tuesday morning that through the daring and competent work of Special Officer Eugene Gibney of the local po- lice. the band of burglars who have terrorized the countryside and brok- en into numbers of the larger summer homes closed for the season, had been captured. had confessed to their crimes, and were safely locked up within the confines of the local jail.
 Enough praise cannot be given to Officer Gibney and the local police. The officer, about 1.30 o'clock Monday morning, was coming out of Livery street towards Front street when he saw a touring car with the number Rhode Island 33008 proceeding slow ly along Front street towards Bug bees corner. This number had been reported to the local police by the state police, who throughout last week were on guard at various points in Pomfret The car bearing this num- Der had been seen several times and the state police had made attempts to round up the car, but each time it had escaped their dragnet
 Officer Gibney, on seeing the car bearing the suspicious number, ran towards Livery street, just as the driver of the car backed the vehicle into Livery street, evidently with the idea of turning it around.
 Grasping his revolver, the officer jumped to the running board of the car, covered the occupants with his gun, and told the driver that he and his companions were under arrest Although the driver, who later proved to be the leader of the gang. A. Lit tIefield Bradley of Worcester, was heavily armed, he made no attempt to resist arrest, though he declared that
