HOW ISRAEL PUTNAM OUT
WITTED THE INDIAN BEAR"

In l75S, while General Lyman's
army was encamped neal Fort Edward,
n. Y, during the French and Indian
war, sentinels at one outpost began
to disappear mysteriously. Night after
night a soldier was posted there and
the next morning could not be found.
Only the bravest men in the army
were selected for this post. General
Lyman ave orders for them to call out
who goes ,there?" three times, If they
heard any noise, and then If no answer
came, TO fire. But the disappearance
continued until his men We're panic
stricken and refused to take such a
dangerous station.
At last Israel Putnam, a member of
Major Rogers rangers, volunteered to
go on guard at that place and solve
the mystery. One hot summer night
he heard a rustling in the leaves
nearby. The sounds were those
of IN animal scufling about on the
ground for food and, peering through
the darkness, Putnam saw by the faint
starlight a huge creature, which he
recognized as a bear, slowly sham
bling toward him.
Something in the bears gait aroused
the scouts suspicion Putnam obeyed
the generals orders. He challenged
three times and then fired. A loud
%groaning and struggling noise followed
and when the scout rushed forward
he found the peal in its death agony.
Then he turned the animal over. En-
closed in the shaggy skin, still clutch
ing a tomahawk but stone dead, lay
a giant Indian.
The mystery was solved. The other
sentinels had believed 1t was a real
zeal they heard and allowed the dar-
ing warrior to get near enough to use
his tomahawk before they learned
their mistake. No more sentinels dis
appeared.
Some time after this event, Putnam
was captured by the Indians, who
started to burn him at the stake. Just
as the flames began to scorch his buck
skin garments, a heavy rain began
to fall and put out the fire. The saw
ages collected more dry wood and
again began the torture. But again
they were foiled.
A French officer appeared upon the
scene, dashed through the ring Of
flame, kicked the blazing brands right
and left and released the scout, telling
the Indians that he must send Putnam
to Montreal to be questioned by Gen
eral Montcalm. Putnam was held
in Canada until an exchange of prison
ers allowed him to return to his home
and he lived to become a famous gen.
eral in the Revolution.

Two Held
 For Death
 Of Wrinkle

New Britain. Sept. 27-C1emens Ka1kowski, proprietor of Main street saloon, Frank Fetzman, his bar tender and Michael Mich. held by the police in connection with the death of Louis Wrinkle which occurred a week ago last Saturday and which was at first believed to have been murder, were arraigned in police court this morning. Kalkowski and Fetzman pleaded not guilty to manslaughter and Mich pleaded not guilty to a technical charge of breach of the peace. The first two are held in s5,00O bonds each and the latter in bonds of $1,000. The cases were con tinued until Friday morning.
 According to the police Ka1kowski confessed late yesterday afternoon that Wrinkle fell down a flight of stairs in his saloon. With Mich, he dragged the unconscious man to one side and later he himself dragged him into the yard where the body was found the next day. Ka1kowski, the police say, contended that he thought Wrinkle was simply drunk and not badly injured by the fall and he dragged him outdoors to sober up when he closed up the saloon for the night.

ASK SUPPORT
 FOR REPUBLICAN
 VOTERS LEAGUE

Judge John S. Pullman and Guy Miller held forth before 200 voters under tent at Noble avenue and Putnam street last night, both speak trafion and asking for support of the Republican Voters League as a means of bringing an economical business administration to Bridge port.
 Judge Pullman was particulariy indignant at rumor that had been spread to the effect that the Voters League was in favor of a reduction in the salaries of teachers. He called the statement "a malicious lie' and the lowst form of political propa- ganda."
 The cost plus system of work for public jobs came in for bitter con demnation, the judge stating that any contract above nominal amount should be given out after bids had been received. He said that Mayor Wilson had merely awarded contracts to his political and social friends The assessments in Bridgeport had been raised ridiculously, he said. in order that the legal limit of floating bonds might be evaded.
 Guy Miller, chairman of the cam paign, emphasized the point that he has made on many previous occa- of the League who had any personal political ambitions or aspirtions. He said that the increase in the city debt from s2,0Oo,0OO to s12,0Oo, 900, during the ten years of the Wilson administration, was a great handicap to the future growth of the city and that only through honest careful gov ernment could this handicap be over come,
 MT Miller appealed to the voters who usually do not participate in pol itics to awake to their responsibilities and keep the machine from once more controlling the detsinies of BridgepOrt

Think Three Lost Lives When Sub
 Sank Suddenly

(Continued from Page One) officers and men and efforts are be ing made to check the accounted for and the missing to determine if any more men were lost.
 It is said that the submarine went down bow first. As soon as the alarm ships of the fleet lying at anchor iii the harbor were turned on to tht scene of the disaster.
 According to the Examiner, execu- tive officers of the submarines base and the Pacific fleet were immediate ly called into a conference aboard the flagship New Mexico. Advices re- garding the reported sinking were at Washington and preparations were made for rescue work. Admiral Eberle, who at present is in San Diego, was notified of the accident immediately to San Pedro this morning to attend a meeting of court of inquiry which will be held to investigate the sinking of the ves- seI.
 The R-6 was tied up to the tender Camden when she sank. That the death list was not larger and that only one submarine was involved is thought to have been due to the pres ence of mind of-one sailor whose name is not known, who, it is said, when the R-6 began to settle, ran up to the fore peak and cut the hawsers py WhICn tne Suonar1ne was noored to the Camden and two other vessels of type similar to the R-6.
 Divers are working feverishIy in the hope that one sailor who is thought to have been on the stricken vessel may still be alive in the vessel which is resting on the harbor floor under 35 feet of water. The belief was expressed that should this man still be in the R-6 he may be alive providing he was successful in closing the compartme into which the water rushed through open tubes
 The sinking of the submarine R-6 last night in the harbor at San Pe- dro, Cal, was reported to the Navy Department today in official de- spatches which said that two mem bers of the submersible's crew prob ably had lost their lives. The first dispatches gave no details not con- tained in press dispatches and no in- dication as to the cause of the acci- dent

 Contrasts are not lacking. Charles M. Schwab, millionaire steel and shipping magnate, moves about the conference freely, chatting with var ious members. He is entirely alone.
