WIFE
 BLOWS BRAINS OUT
Ashford Farmer Places Rifle Muzzle Under Chin and
 Pulls Trigger
ka'le kivels, 37. Suffered From Rheumat.sm and Was Despondent

When Mrs. Kalle. Kivela became suspicious that all was not right with her husband, she went out of doors at a late hour last Saturday night and found him in the yard of their farm in North Ashford with large caliber rife in his hands The wife told him to let her have the gun, but he re- piled, "You had better go in the house. can handle gun and if you don't let me alone you might get hurt" Mrs. kivela and her son, who stepped out the door with her, then went into the house fearing the threat meant their bodily injury. 1t was not long afterward that the wife heard the report of the rife and going out again found that Kivela had shot hira- self. His death was instantaneous.
 The Kivela family removed from Fitchburg, Mass, to North Ashford about two years ago after purchasing 2 farm between North Ashford village and Eastford. Kivela was the wo- mans second husband and she had a son by her first husband and the boy lived at home.
 The man had been sufferer from rheumatism and had seemed despond- ent of late. His wife happened to mention to him Saturday that it was the second anniversary of the death of their little daughter. Kivela began to cry and take on when the death of their only child was brought to his at- tention. It has also been stated that a keg of home brew had been opened that Saturday evening and that Kivela had drank quite freely of it.
 The man went to bed but was un- able to sleep. He got up and his step- son played checkers with him until nearly midnight, when he. the step sonsswent to bed. Mrs. Kiyela heard her husband go out of the house and this alarmed her. She called her son and they went out and saw kivela with his rife. After his covered threat they left him and the next they saw of him he was dead.
 Investigating after they heard the shot in the darkness outside of the house, they found Kivela lying prone on the ground near an outbuilding. Apparently he had laid flat on his back with the rife resting on his legs, stomach and chest. The muzzle was placed under his chin and then he pull ed the trigger. The bullet ploughed it's way through his head and literally blew his brains out. The medical ex- aminer viewed the remains and pro- nounced 1t case of suicide.
 The funeral service was held from the home, Tuesday afternoon, Rev. P. s. Collins of North Ashford officiat- ing Burial was in the North Ashford cemetery

TOO MUCH JOHNSON
 IN THE CITY COURT

The last two sessions of the city court have been due to intoxicants and to Johnsons. Last week John John son appeared and on Tuesday morn ing Charles Johnson was ordered to pay fine and costs amounting to $31.
 Charles met a man on Front street. The man had pint of something that looked like an old fashioned whiskey, but, according to Charles, it packed a powerful wallop. Charles took few drinks from the longnecker and lost his reason. A night behind the bars had only partially brought him back to normal.

Putnam h Blizzard,s Grip
 Traffic But LiHIe DeIQued
u,orx. Snow Storm In Several Years Comes To Support
 Ground Hog
Track Ploughs Through Drifts--- No Session of School

pusnam experienced it's share of the ,,;,yard that gripped the state on Sunday. Snow began to fall at an s.r,v hour in the morning and people swofe to find . mantle of white sever :, inches deep and heavy snow still falling. ,,
 nuring the day the wind began to ,vea, from the north, causing some seep drifts and an who could stayed . doors. There were but small con ,re0ations tn the churches and in the seuing no attempt was made to hold .eryjces In some instances.
 There was little traffic during the say.. The trolley company made no seort to keep its cars running on the ,educed schedule, but ran a blow over ,be line which left path generally ned by pedestrians along the route of .he tracks. The snow was light and trains maintained their schedules al- tbough running from one to three hours behind time. The north bound train from New London did not reach this city until about 10 o'clock. An engine was kept going backward and forward through the railroad yard, Aeping the tracks clear.
 Along about 9 o'clock the snow ,sased to fall and snow shovels were drought out of storage. Clearing naths was a strenuous job as the snow had drifted badly and on the level was bcut two feet deep.
 Monday morning dawned bright and clear and the street department was xzgmented to a gang of fifteen to twenty men and a number of wagons and sleds It amused many people in the business section to see this army of shovelers attack the snow in the treet and about Union Square and the railroad station, while all day long crosswalks were left covered and men and women had to wade through deep drifts in crossing the street, while au- toinobiies had much easier time in the cleaned roadway.
 The morning trains came in practi- eAly on time and the regular running schedule was maintained by the steam ,os' but trolleys did not attempt to run. The bus lines were early in op- ration and the state highway depart mont ran its blow over trunk lines.
 Anyone having business in side streets had tough time getting through and it was a hard day for let ter carriers. Rural routes were only partly covered. Milk men and mail route drivers got through. Albert Day was the first to arrive by auto- mobile from Pomfret, reaching Put nam between and g o'clock.
 All m all Putnam was treated very hndiy by the blizzard and citizens were but little annoyed. There was no attempt to hold sessions of schools. Very few were overjoyed at the deep fall after the weeks of open winter, but the reliability of the ground hog, who saw his shadow and went back to sleep, can no more be questioned.
 During the afternoon call came Tn for chimney fire on Woodstock ave nue. A three bell alarm was rung and the motor truck made the run to the scene, blowing through drifted snow with apparently little effort

THE WET BLANKET

When there comes a suggestion such as that recently made by Lawson Purdy before the American society oi Civil Engineers, that the bright lights of Broadway should be dimmed or removed there come thoughts of wet blankets" long faces and persons whose sole object seems to be to try to take all the joy out of life. One re- ralls also tales of those who believe
 hat any personal dress decorations Ire evidences of worldly vanity which should be suppressed. Men and wom- n remember some ancient rela- i've or friend who deprecated any
 ction that brought pleasure merely because it was pleasure and not because it was possible to see any harm in the act.
 One does not have to be natural philosopher or a scientist to see the danger in the ever-ncreasing attempt to take from life all frivolity, if you will-all seemingly useless amuse- nent- everything which will not prove of constructive value to the world The only possession necessary to realize their danger is practical, broad common sense. There is a deal of wisdom in the old expression, "A little nonsense now and then is relish ed by the best of men," The reason for the "rclishing" is that the pest ot men" and the best of women need q little nonsense" There is nothing more absolutely true than this declar- alton and the nonsense" must be ln- terpreted to mean something that will take men out of themselves occasional " Test they perish"
 The bright lights of Broadway may shine upon wrong; attack the wrong not the lights for in them and in the feeling of brightness they bring may be found satisfaction which may pre- vent the seeking of it in places that are dark.
