 IN In order that some confusion resulting over published statements in different papers relative to the activities of two young men, both members of the United | States navy, bearing the same name, the | following statement was given out here on Tuesday: 2"
 | Walter Henry Arnold, son of Mrs. Dan | iel Daniel Shippee, is a second class cleo 1 triciane on the U.f~S.s S: Ontario. which 1 left Portsmouth for the Pacific coast last | January.

 The wauregan band has just been ] equipped with fine new uniforms furnish
 
 | band, numbering 30 pieces, is under the leadership of Henry Leach, one of the l best known musicians in this part of the state and has made splendid progress | since it was organized about a year ago. l The new uniforms are navy blue, with military braid trimmings of black, and l give the players natty appearance. The uniforms are the gift of the Wauregan company, which is always generous in it's | assistance of the worthy organizations l that help in such a material way to make | Wauregan a real pleasant village in which to live.
 Perhaps, before the summer season l ends, the Wauregan hand might find it possible to come to Danielson and give l a concert on Davis park a treat that cer- tainIy would be appreciated.
 Joseph LaEasse of AttawauEan is going to do his bit toward the end that no one shall close the Windham county jail at Brooklyn for lack of patronage for at least six months longer. Lasasse was found guilty in the town court Tuesday morning of having stolen pair of brand new gold-bowed glasses from Oliver Phaneuf, also of Attawaugan. The pris- l oner pleaded not guilty, to the charge but the witnesses against him, the testi- mony they were able to give. together 1 with Lagasse's own poor showing under examination by Prosecuting Attorney Ar thur G. Bill. led to his downfall.
 In passing sentence upon Lagasse Judge | Woodward called the prisoners attention to the fact that the penalty would be made more severe than might have been the case had Lagasse told the truth on the witness stand. The sentence was six months in jail and cost of prosecution l Phaneuf testified that, having pur- chased new eyeglasses in Putnam last Saturday morning, he returned to Alta wauan and took a seat in the sitting | room at the mill boarding house there The weather was oppressive, so Phaneuf removed his coat, containing the glasses and left the coat on a seat near by He l charged that Lagasse stole the glasses at that time. Questioned about having 1 Phaneuf's property. Lagasse denied the charge, but on Monday while he. was at work in the mill another enploye saw him squat down back of a loom and try on the snectacles. A search about La gaSse's looms after the mill closed for the 1 day revealed Phaneuf's glasses hidden away under a piece of cloth in the bottom 1 of a waste box. Next Sunday will bring the Connecti- cut Mills and Goodyear baseball teams together for the third game of the Series they have been playing. Goodyear has won the two games 50 far played Man
 
 Mills team said Tuesday that he will have crackerjack lineup to match against the Goodyear stars on Sunday next, when the game will be played here in Daniel son. The local team will have the ser vices of d particularly strong battery be- sides additional strength at other points on the field. The teams should furnish a diamond battle royal for they both have fine players and the added desire to win ha 2 SIIiT ef tha of ly.
 diver is at work at the Dyer dam power plant of the Connecticut company, Investigating in detail the damage that was done few weeks, ago when serious washout occurred and disabled the water power of the. plant to. such an extent as to force the plant to use it's steam auxiI- iary. The damage caused by the washout I was very heavy, possibly amounting to as much as $5G.000. No statement was forthcoming on Tuesday as to what the j. company may do towards making the t necessary Fepairs,~ and no such statement is to be anticipated, it is believed until after the present investigation by the
 diver is completed and lis reports filed It is with mere than passing gratifca- h tion that Killingly people learn. that this E town made the greatest gain in population
 during the past 10 years of any of the 15 ; towns of Windham county. This gain , may be chiefly accredited to the develop ment of the big tire fabric concerns f within the borders of the town, and may
 be taken as an indication of what Kill lingly's growth will be within the next s i've years as the development plans of
 the Connecticut Mills company here in ! Danielson and the Goodyear concern are , carried out. no ito mention the growth
 that is naturally to be expected through
 the expansion of such concerns as have recently located here and the old standby
 companies that for many, many years , have been the basis of the towns pros ? perity.
 Killinglys gain, the census returns for l Windham county show, was 1.6T4. Plain field showed the second largest gain with | 1,207, Windham third with 1,197 9 and Putnam fourth with 1, IF.
 i The present temporary financial strin-
 gency has held up building program amounting to about $S. .000, 900 in Killingly
 but this 'hoidup is only temporary and the bringing of it to completion. probably
 during the coming year, will mean at least 10000 population for killingly with
 in from three to five years.
