Search For Twenty-Two Men Named
 By War Department

The members of Local Board No. l6. which had charge of the registra- tion and draft work during the war in this part of the state. have been un- able to locate any alleged draft dodx- CTS. according to an official report made Tuesday. Edward A. Sullivan of Danielson, clerk of the board, wrote to the office of the adjutant general of the war department at Washington that after careful investigation the board was unable to locate any of the men who registered in this district and who have been charged by the war department with draft desertion.
 On the list received by the board for investigation were 32 names. With the aid of police the men whose names were given were searched for. The report stated that most of those charged with deserting their obliga- sions in connection with the draft were either transient aliens, who new CT maintained a permanent home in this section. or were colored laborers, who at the time of the registration were engaged in construction work for the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad in the city. These laborers, following registration. re- turned to the south, and consequently could not be traced by the local board
 In a few eases men who registered disappeared soon after and have not been heard of since, even by their rel atiyes tn this district.

While a merry party of thirteen young people were laughing and jok- ing at the Dodge home near Eastford at about II o'clock Tuesday night. lightning struck and killed the B. year-old host, Clinton Dodge. The stricken man fell almost at the feet of his mother.
 Although lightning is said never to strike twice in the same place" the bot which killed young Dodge Tues day night was the second which had entered the home within ten days. Tie first bolt stunned two members of the household. The lightning Tuesday night killed the oldest son and knock ea unconscious d friend.
 The young people who made up the paity had not intended to spend the evening at the Dodge home. They had started out for Crystal Lake ear Her i1 the evening to swim. But the ran had put stop to the intended outing and the party returned to the pedVe home for a merry time there.
 Among the gayest of the little par Y If friends at the house that night was the young host. After his work on the little farm, upon which his mother. three sisters and younger brother were so largely dependent. the young head of the Dodge home relaxed and made the party merry with his cheer and pleasantries.
 Playing Spin the Platter"
 Outside, the storm increased in Yi- olence and the lightning and thunder drew closer. But the party in the home seemed unaware of the turbu- lence without. Spin the platter. the favorite game of so many such parties, was being played and because of his long length of more than six feet, and because of his dexterity at scooping up the plate, the host had been relegated to the doorway which led to the kitchen and behind the cir cle of chairs
 Dwight Dodge. the l6-year-old brother. was it" and he had just spun the platter. Suddenly there was flash, a piercing crash and the room became dark. Out of the stiffness which immediately followed. the voice of Clinton Dodge said, "I am all right" and then there was thud.
 When lights were lit two figures were seen on the floor. Almost at the feet of his mother. who was in the room watching the merrymaking. was the young host, Clinton. Not far

 The members of the little group rushed Co the fallen men. Kenyon soon revived. but in spite of all that could be done young Dodge remained motionless His mother. who had thrown herself upon him. exclaimed joyfully that his heart was still beat ing and together the mother and younger sister carried the prostrate form out of the house onto the lawn where the air was not so stuffy Elf forts to revive Dodge were in vain, and death soon followed the shock.
 Fire Started In Attic
 In the midst Of the confusion. some one smelled smoke and Dwight Dodge and David Broadway ran upstairs into the attic. There they found a bun dle of rags on fire evidently kindled by the lightning i hole in the attic roof. made by the lightning which had struck ten days previous, afforded a convenient means of getting to the rafters just below the caves where the fire had spread The blaze was extin- guished before much damage was done.
 Broadway walked mile and half before he could find telephone with which to get in touch with Dr. E. R. Pike. who attended young Dodge The doctor, with all the neighbors from d radius of a mile and half about the Dodge home, worked on the prostrate body until o'clock, but at no time were their efforts rewarded with any hint of success. Miss Kenyon, the nurse, also attended.
 Dog Injured. Too
 When Dodge fell he caught the dog. Dinah. within the circle of his arm. Although the dog was not killed it has not yet recovered from the shock of the electricity transmitted to it from the body of it's young master. For day the dog was unable to move The lightning entered the house through the chimney and then lodged across the room where the young peo- pie were grouped.
 Those who made up the party of thirteen were. Mrs Frances Dodge, mother of Clinton. Ruth Dodge. Ellen Dodge, Dwight Dodge, Elsie Dodge, and Clinton Dodge; Miss Lorraine Ferris of Greenwich, Miss Winifred Simpson. Albert Simpson, Ferdinand Kenyon, Harley Wells, David Brock way and Clifford French.

According to the Associated Press story of the Sunday kidnapping and assault on the rector, Mir. Irwin was waylaid by eight masked men at the close of his evening service Sunday night. The kidnappers stopped Mir. Irwin just as he was driving into his own yard in his automobile. They were also in automobiles and asked the preacher for the loan of a wrench.
 According Co the Irwin story, when the minister reached the other cars with the wrench, he was seized by four masked men. who were in the strange ears. and handcuffed and gagged. His assailants then drove off into the woods outside the city and administered q severe whipping, af- ter which they poured tar over him and covered the mass with feathers.
 Threat of Lynehiag
 Before whipping him. Mir. Irwin said the kidnappers told him why they were maitreating him. His version of what they said te him was: You have been preaching social eqality to the negroes and have advocated inter marriage of the races In the South this doctrine is not tolerated. and any person who breaches ii is threatened with death"
