PUTNAM


 rounding towns were on. the watch Tuesday for man of about 30 years who has, been presenting himself as healer and who, it is complained, has taken money for the services he rem dered.
 Among the fantastic stories that the police here heard about his record Tuesday was one in which he is rep | resented as having visited woman | if it might be dignifed by that name, i extratced a sum of money for his ser vices
 It is related that in this particular case the healer took teaspoon and, having filled it with water, placed the tip of the spoon in the patients ear and gracefully blew the water into the aural aperture. Thereupon he made the sign of the cross, or something approximating it, went across the room and stood before & sacred, pie ture and mumb1ed something that waA unintelligible-an then, became more practical in his opera tions. He an nounced to the patient that his fee was $6, and in addition, to this the pa- tient was to d-op seven cents into the contribution box at St. Marys church next Sunday. He assured her, court
 officials hear, that cure was quite certain to. follow.
 Now this all sounds like fairy tale, but it is substantiated by re-
 ports of similar operations that have come in from other. towns in this vi cinity. Gullible persons seem as plen- tiful as ever notwithstanding that the present is regarded as an era of hard times and money is difficult for the average person to obtain. However, it will have to be admitted. that the. op- orator or healer or physician, What- ever he may pretend to be, is nct hav- ing such terrible time in connecting with what is known as easy money. There seemed to b. an inclination | in some quarters Tuesday to doubt | that this city has firebug; but, on l the other hand, many are convinced , that such is the case. While there IS
 a difference of opinion on the subject ] even among officials and members of ] the fire department, Saturday night s l fire is still regarded by a great many | persons as of incendiary origin. | Tuesday evening at the high school, | Judge Mahlon H. GeiSsler addressed ! the members of the night school on l the subject Penal Institutions. This was one in a series of talks on va riety of subjects arranged some time
 since by Principal L. F. Battey of the night school and they have proved of
 special interest to the students.
 A motor driven ice cutting saw own ed by Medbury and Trowbridge of
 this city attracted close attention Tuesday while it was at work on Quinebaug lake, south of Danielson
 where about 5000 tons of ice are to be
 stored. The machine is the first of it's kind to be seen in this territory l and it remarkably efficient in it's op- I NIh1 i1Ia ie, f. , ed an an arrangement similar to sled, is driven by four cylinder gaso- l line motor. It can do more of the ) kind fof work it is designed for than !. a small barn full of horses, and does it splendidly.
 Putnam people nho saw the follow ing New York news story Tuesday are wondering whether the girl men, [ tioned in the affair is a relative o1

 Though Miss Krikorian is only l years old, her record. according to ; story given out at Near East head . quarters, is such as many veteran :, has not achieved in a lifetime. At the age of Il, Miss Krikoriai :, saw her mother, father, brothers ant sisters murdered by the Turks. Sh . was saved, only to be sold at publi auction to an Arab brigand. In tn garb of an Arab she escap ped iron :: her Arab master in 1919 and enlisted in the Armenian army. Her identit. was discovered. but she refused t give up her uniform. She was goini | to fight and she did.
