DANIELSON AND PUTNAM NEWS
PUTNAM

a habit on the part of some person or
persons who evidently must have select
ed Putnam as a fertile field for opera
tions. Ameino Sebastiano, of Florence
street, was mourning the loss of his
touring car on Monday. He told the Do
lice that it was taken Sunday evening,
some time between and 10 o'clock,
from where he had left it parker in front
of the Arcade building, at the head of
Canal street.
Two weeks before, almost to the hour,
the car of DIR, Edward F. Perry was
stolen from where he had Left it stand
ing in Grove street. Sebastiano was at
car disappeared.
| Sebastiano's registration papers shows
| that the missing car is of the Ford
| touring type 1917 model, makers num-
| Der 1644877. 1t was a pretty good little
| car, it's owner admits.
| The machine has disappeared without
4 a trace. The opinion that the cars be-
| ing stolen here are taken away by rep
| resentatives of an organized band of mo-
tor thieves, who dispose of them in some
New England city. Ford cars make the
best loot for the thieves, for these ma
| chimes are in such common use that it is
very difficult to trace them.

Gently, however, that motorists who own
| small, light touring cars of any make
are warned against the danger of having
/ them stolen. The thieving is frightening
many car owners into taking out theft
insurance.
Judge NJ. Fl. Geissler penalized Pat
rick ST. George by fine of see and
costs of S11.14, on an intoxication charge
| in the city court Monday morning. 1t
will be evident to the average reader
who remembers the famous $1,000 ap-
| piled in scores of such cases in the days
before prohibition that the cost of get
| ting arrested has gone up as have a
great many other expenses. Judge Gels
| sir assessed st. George the maximum
fine because he was not satisfied with
the statement the prisoner made as to
where he got his liquor, St George
claiming that it came from over the line
| in Rhode Island.
Judge Geissler also feels that there is
less excuse for a man getting drunk now
than there was during the wet days
There are no saloons now, so if man
gets drunk he does it with generalization
and wilful intent, the court thinks, and
not through temptation in the form OF
open saloons.
