JEWETT CITY

There was considerable excitement and quite a sensation at the White district school in Griswold one morning this week Mrs. Frank Flames is the teacher. School opened as usual. Glasses were be- ing heard. A peculiar odor, faint and uncertain at first but rapidly becoming more pronounced, caused glances of ex- treme interest to be correctly exchanged between the pupils. Soon a passing zephyr waiter the odor to the seat of government where it was instantly re- cognized. An impromptu recess was called and strict search was ordered to be made in and about the several parts of the building to see if a certain little black and white animal could be found. Two of the smaller pupils while hunt ing under the woodshed found two long white rolls which they carried to the teacher, who immediately recognized them as two sticks of dynamite. The committeeman, pr. J. B. Sweet was hurriedly notified and Mrs Flames was | instructed to turn the find over to Chief of Police J. T. Dolan in Jewett City. Skunk-hunting was given over for the | day. How the dynamite came to be under the shed is a mystery. It is easy to imagine the results that might have occurred from some ones probable care | lessness.
