1rst cane sugar mill to be completely

about $50 days. Time lost due to
brea kdowns or to any cause whatever

which makes Il impossible to cut the
cane or haul II from the fieids.
As In all Innovations IL took some
time to convince sugar mill owners
OF the evident advantages OF electric
drive. IL was only after the electric
system had convincinEly proved Its
superiority. that the steam engines
were removed and electric motor
drive permanently installed through
out the plant for all machines. pumps
and auxiliaries. Some OF the advant-
ages are: Increased extraction OF
sucrose and q consequent greater
production OF sugar, greater economy
in fuel. greater ease or operation and
decreased cost of manufacture.

More than $50 years ago log
dam was built at Ieesviile. Conn, to
provide water power for the saw
and grist mills of the early settlers.
The advent OF the railroads and
steam power drew industry away
from the small tidal tributaries OF
the Connecticut river until the little
settlement of Leesville was without
any industry.
Then the bankrupt mill owner, who
was almost as IMMERSED in the won
dcrs of electricity, as other people Al
that time, belted a dynamo TO the
idle water wheel and provided some
electric lighting service. Then came
the technically, commercially trained
specialist who developed the busi-
ness which soon expanded to all ad-

power house became wartime ne

TWO SUSPECTS ARE
UNDER ARREST IN
DUNN MURDER CASE

Two suspects were arrested yester
day by officers in connection with the
murder of ]. NJ. Dunn, rancher, whose
body with three bullet holes in the top
of the head was found Thursday night
about $3.50 o'clock in the front room
of his home at Grand Canal and the
Orange road by his wife and four
children upon their return from visit
ing with neighbors. The officers de-
ciined to give out the names of those
under arrest and intimated that other
arrests in the case would follow in a
day or two. The two under arrest are
being held in the county Jail.
Sheriff Montgomery and r. E. L.
Shepherd, county attorney, spent yes
terday afternoon investigating the
crime and in following up certain clues
which have been unearthed. Deputies
are also following up a report that
some one burned an automobile belong
ing to Dunn several weeks ago. Of
ficers believe this may have been done
for revenge, but are unable to conect
it with the murder.
Officers working on the case have
given up the theory that Dunn was
killed with the intent of robbing him
of the money paid to him on March Z
by Frank Bates. groceryman at Nc
Dowen and Orange roads. They are
inclined to believe that Dunn was muir
dered in order to get him out of the
way. One theory is that Dunn knew
OF some crime the murderer had COM
mitted and was about to tell the au-
thorities. That he was the victim of
revenge is another theory, but there
are no clues that will bear this out.
Since finding the body of her hus-
band Mrs. Dunn has been under the
care of a physician and has been
able to give officers but little informa-
ton about the movements of her hus-
band. Dunn was shot three times in
the top of the head as he lay sleeping
on low cot in the front room of his
home. The murderer raised the loose
screen on a side window of the roo =
and fired through a hole made by i,
missing pane in the window. Dunn's
head, as he lay on the cot. was within
two feet of the window and in direct
line with the hole in the window frame.
Funeral services for Dunn were held
yesterday morning at 10 o'clock in the
Merryman undertaking parlors. the

that time until August, 1919. Llpsohn
claimed, hes received only $1,05S.1o
