storm damage reports that came in Wednesday revealed the extent to which several towns hereabouts suffered dur ing the four days storm that ended dur ing Tuesday night. The damage to fruit and shade trees and ito timber land in the town of Woodstock is almost beyond belief, and residents there regard the storm as the most destructive in their experience. Whole orchards have been rined in some sections of the town Par ticuiarly heavy damage to apple orchards occurred at Woodstock lNll, North
 Woodstock and East Woodstock. Prac- ticaAy all of the trees on what is known as the Gildersleeve farm are almost if not wholly ruined as the result of ice gathering upon them and limbs and 1 trunks snapping under the pressure of the gale of Tuesday.
 For two days past Pomfret, Wood stock and Thompson, excepting in some sections, have been in darkness except ing as light has been supplied by lamps, 1 lanterns and candles. The storm dam aged the electric light service wires to such an extent that the service of the
 Putnam Light and Power Company could not be supplied. Efforts to clear away this handicap were in full blast during Wednesday, when it was hoped that by evening the lines would be restored as far as Overlock's corner in Pomfret and | in part of the town of Thompson. In l Woodstock the situation is the worst and longer time will be required to restore service.
 i The Grosvenordales were being lighted | Wednesday evening by power furnished l by the Grosvenordale company, connec
 tion having been made temporarily unti ] lines are restored with the lines of ths Putnam Light and Power Company. 1 All through the devastated territory hereabouts men were engaged durins Wednesday in clearing away trees tha

 sections of Woodstock and in the direc

 were carried down under the weight O ice that days will be required to clea
 away the debris.
 Along the state highway leading iron South to North Woodstock, trees ar
 down and heavy limbs broken off ant 1 strewn about. The lines of the S. N

trip. The storm had disabled the tele-
 phone line, so Mrs. Warren was unable
 to ascertain by this method as to whether
 MT. Warren had remained in Danielson.
 She did not hear his team as he drove
 in. nor was he aware that he lay near
 the barn with his horse standing near by
 throughout the night.
 MT. Warren was one of Killingly's old- est citizens. He was born in Gloucester,
 R. L, 8 son of Lester R. and Elizabeth (Arnold) Warren. For 35 years he was a school teacher in Killingly and many
 men and women now grown to manhood
 remember him as their instructor at the [ Kirlingly Center school
 He had lived for years on the place in
 the Msshentuck district of the town,
 about three miles from Danielson, where his death occurred. MT. Warren leaves
 his wife and one daughter, Mrs. John
 Baton. of Wauregan. The late Dr. M S.
 Warren, who practiced dentistry in Dan-
 ielson, was a son of MT. and Mrs. War ren.
 Tests being made of the siren of the 1 borough's fire alarm telegraph system 1 Wednesday afternoon again brings to
 mind the hazard that Danielson is accept
 ing in relying wholly on one siren for l sounding fire alarms. situation that I Chief Engineer A. P. Woodward has call ed attention to on numerous occasions in ethe past.
 The siren in use Is located on the Main
 street plant of the Connecticut Mills com pany, plant that Is closed at present, and where only a light head of steam is kept on the boilers. This has been the situation for months past. and may be for
 months to come.
 Failure of the siren to nroperIy. sound an alarm means in effect that the entire fire alarm telegraph system of the bor- ough would be rendered impotent, and 1 this might mean a disastrous fire loss that otherwise might not have occurred Numerous citizens believe that an aux 1 Hilary siren should be installed by the l borough. these citizens favoring a plan
 that has been advocated for some time 1 past. The plan is for the borough to purchase a compressed air plant and siren l to be installed at the central fire station. i In case the steam siren fails to properly i sound a signal, as was the case Tuesday i when a no-school number was to be | blown. the other siren could be depended upon to do the work.
 | Installing an auxiliary plant would cost, it is estimated, from $2.o00 to s2,- 1 500, but the additional protection obtain ed would be well worth making the in-
 vestment, in the minds of citizens who have considered the matter.

stated that the tops had broken of in
 many cases, leaving only the trunks standing.
 It appears that some areas in Wood stock were harder hit than others, the properties on high points of land getting the worst of the storm.
 Judge Clarence H. Child said that the worst of the damage to the trees oc- cured between and 10 o'clock We'd nesday morning. The trees had previ- ously been heavily coated with ice and gave way under the pressure of a gale that at times blew with velocity of 50 miles hour. Many limbs were torn off large elms that for years have been the pride of Woodstock and some of these trees are so badly damaged that they may have to be taken down. Between this city and East Thompson 40 poles were reported down Wednesday morning. During the storm of Tuesday a pilot locomotive with caboose was sent over the main line from Putnam to Bos- | ton ahead of all passenger trains to pre- vent possible wrecks from poles that might have fallen across the rails. The pilot crew shuttled back snd forth dur | ing the day. An evening, passenger train l from Boston was delayed at Douglas for two hours and half as the result of | | Automobile trucks that had been stall ed and unable to proceed over icy high ways running out of this city began to l haul In here Wednesday morning. One
 man who journeyed by motor from Prov | idence to Putnam during Tuesday count ed 40 big motor. trucks stalled and tenn porarily abandoned between the two cities.
 i Linesmen are working with such fev- erish haste to restore service of different
 compa nies that they were nearing the point of exhaustion Wednesday evening This city fortunately was just outside the southern border of the ice belt and shows little effects of a. storm that has caused scores of thousands of dollars damage in the immediate surrounding territory
 Attention was called Wednesday ts the fact that Woodstock, Pomfret and Thompson would not have been cut of from electric lighting service by the ict
 storm and gale that followed were i
 not for the fact that trees with limb; toverhanging the lines of the Putnam Light and Power company had not snap ped off and broken the wires.
 The moral of this is that had the tree.

DANELsON

Joseph William Warren, IT. was found dead lying outside the door of his barn in the Mashentuck district early Wednes- day morning. His death was caused by exposure, following fall, Dr. George M. Burroughs. medical examiner, stated after viewing the body and sscertaining the circumstances surrounding MT. Warren's death.
 Indications are that MT. Warren lay near the door of the barn from probably or o'clock Tuesday night until shortly after daylight Wednesday morning, when his body was discovered. He had been dead only short time when found. It is believed that he fell upon arriving from Danielson late Tuesday afternoon and was unable to arise. His presence on the place was not noted by his wife, who be- lievsd that he had not returned from Danielson, where he had driven on busi- ness trip.
 Mrs. Warren was under the impression when MT. Warren did not arrive home at about the usual time he was to be expect ed that he might possibly have been de- lsyed at a blacksmith shop awaiting the shoeing of his horse, and later dismissed this thought for the belief that it was so icy that he would remain in Danielson over night rather than attempt the return
