Two more breaks into the e.homes of prominent summer residents of Pom- fret were reported to the state police
 on Monday, following the discovery that the home of Miss Marion Harvey, located near the Harrison estate, and Orchard House." the residence of Mrs. William H Elliot and Miss Elliot had been entered and both houses thoroughly ransacked, though as yet it has not been discovered that valua- bles to any extent were taken away. This is the third break in three weeks, "Gladwyn," the home of Admiral Goodrich, now occupied by Mir. and Mrs. George Miles, having been dam- aged by similar visit from vandals.
 In the opinion of the State Police these most recent Pomfret breaks are in the nature of vandalism rather than attempts at burglary, since so far they have been unable to discover that possessions of any value belong ing to the owners had been removed
 However, both houses were complete. ly ransacked, drawers opened anc their contents thrown about. In ons home the walls were found splattere. with blacking fluid, while in another hundreds of small beads were scat

VandaLS Make More Breaks
 M POn1fYpt Summer Homes

t. about as if several persons had engs in a "bead fight" throwing handful after handful of the beads at one another.
 While the state police do not ad- init possession of any substantial clues to the persons concerned in these latest breaks. there are many who believe that they have been com mitted by local mischief makers rather than professionals.
 Miss Harvey, whose house was one of those entered, has been spending the winter in Bermuda but is expected daily to return to Pomfret. Her oth- CT property, "Graystokes," which stands next to Pomfret Hall, was one of the houses broken into by the fa- nous Bradley gang and several valu- able Turkish rugs were removed at that time. The Elliot house was also ransacked by the Bradley thieves and many things were removed. Krs. El- liot and Miss Elliot are at present in Paris for the spring.

CLAY PIGEON SHOOT
 TUESDAYAFTERNOON
Fifteen Gunners kill" More or Less Birds In Two
 Events
Attempt To Be Made To Form . Put
 nam Gun Club

Fifteen Putnam men, young, middle aged and elderly, threw shot guns to their shoulders twenty-five times on the Davis lot in the "Dark Pines late Tuesday afternoon and killed more or less birds. It was the first clay pigeon shoot that has been held in Putnam in years, and the interest has encouraged those most interested, in their determination to form Put nam Gun Club.
 The shoot was conducted under the supervision of Ad Topperwein,, representative of the Winchester Arm Go. Mir. Topperwein is an expert rife shot with national reputation. His wife is also an expert shot. MT. Topperwein, while not competing, knocked down 24 out of 25 birds.
 There were two events, one of 10 birds and the other 15. and the scores were made as follows:
 Charles E. Dean, 21 birds killed ; Truesdell, Ingraham, | 5 each; Cutler, IA; Mayotte, Ames and Baldwin, II each; Thompson, 10; Morse, &; Fox, 6; Spencer, 5; Evans, 5; Thayer, 4.
 Most of the shooters were new at the game and those who had done trap shooting before had not shot in years. The shoot began shorty after o'clack and lasted until nearly 6
 If there is enough interest in trap shooting evidenced gun club will be formed and a meet held once or twice a month. Anyone interested in becoming a member of the proposed club is requested to call at the store of Chandler & Morse and make his interest known.

The condition of Arthur Cooper, nine years old, of Brooklyn, who was brought to the Day Kimball Hospital last Friday evening with fractured skull, remains about the same. He is still on the dangerous list but is mak- ing a hard fight and as the days pass more hope is felt for his recovery.
 The boy was struck by an automo- bile owned and driven by Benjamin Weisberg of New York. MT. Weis- berg stopped and picked the lad up and took him to doctor in Danielson who ordered his removal to the hos pital.

HEAD OF SANITARIUM
 IN CALIFORNIA
Dr. Lee Seward Has Charge Of Tuberculosis Hospital In
 Mountains
Son of Mir. and Mrs. F. w. Seward
 Graduate of Local High School

Dr. Lee Seward, graduate of the Putnam High school, son of Mir. and Mrs. Frederick w. Seward of this city, is the resident head of the Tri- County Sanitarium. a hospital for tubercular patients, at Ahwahnee, California.
 The sanitarium was started in 3 small way by one county and a fund of $60, ,000 was used. Now the hos pital is to be enlarged and at least 9150, ,000 expended. As a matter of fact Dr. Seward has carte blanche to go ahead and build and equip the place to care for the increasing demands be- ing made upon it.
 The sanitarium gets it's name "Tri- County from the fact that, starting with one county, three counties have now become interested. These are Stanislaus, Merced and Madeira counties, the location being in the Ma deria mountains midway between Ma deria and Yosemite.
 California newspapers have been featuring the sanitarium with lengthy writeups and pictures. In an inter- view with reporter pr. Seward said that the great difficulty encountered in the work was keeping up the cour- age and hope of the patients. He says there is chance and hope for every tubercular patient who takes his case in time and secures proper treatment, although, he says. it means hard fight always and often hopeless fight.
 Soon after his graduation Dr. Sew ard went west to make his home with relatives. lie studied medicine and obtained his degree since which he has been in active practice in San Francisco. The position he now holds is an important one as he is the head of sanitarium in which three coun- ties are interested.
 The site of the sanitarium is at a high altitude. There is 25,00O gal lon concrete reservoir on the grounds which comprise 332 acres, fine dairy herd, plenty of chickens and patients are provided with plenty of fresh milk and eggs. There is one large building and two smaller ones, nurses home, business office building and house for Dr. Seward An electric light power line was run to the sanitarium at a cost of 5000.
