A. Danielson presiding as state referee, the uncontested divorce case of Webster F. Perkins of Woodstock. formerly of this 1 town vs Mary Snow Perkins was heard in chambers in the superior court here Monday morning. The plaintiff asked a divorce on the ground of deserton De- cision in the case will be rendered later. Monday morning the First National bank began to do business in it's tempo rary quarters in the old Thompson bank 1 on Union street. The moving process that started Saturday and continued through Sunday was still going on Monday, but the entire force of the bank was on duty l in the new quarters and there customers 1 of the institution were receiving the ac- customed prompt attention. The bank probably will remain in the Union street
 quarters throughout the winter period as
 at least 20 weeks will be required to re-
 model the First Nationals building, and a longer period may be required.
 The Putnam Savings bank occupying
 the second floor of the National bank
 building, is continuing to, occupy it's quar-
 ters, though a change in location for this | institution is also imminent. The saw
 ings bank will also seek temporary quar- ters until such time as the building which
 it purchased few days ago, in the Main
 street section, is ready for occupancy l Boys up at the Windham county home for children, in the Sawyer district of l this town. have the Arcanum club coon hunters tied to a post for facility in

 ] A giant coon roamed the confines of a connections wire cage up at the county home Monday. He wasn't the size of
 Jumbo Barn1Nn's prize elephant, or he l didn't approximate that tremendous de- velopment, but he was an unusual coon.
 stalking about as would major officer 1 of the mysterious coon forces haunting
 the woods of eastern Windham county on
 a snappy fall night.
 l This particular county homo coon, as he may be termed, was found caught by l one foot in trap set for a skunk when i investigators went out to see on Monday l morning what the previous nights haul
 had been. MT. Coon was not seriously 1 injured and one of the hired men at the I county farm home was sent down to the trip to bring him in-the boys being a bit | afraid about taking him out of the trap
 and assuming charge of his activities i once he was released.
 1 The coon was an object of interest to | Monday. All had from one to one hun
 dred looks at him. He was restless in
 his big wire cage and anxious to be of
 and away. Some of the boys closely in-
 terested in his capture were anxious to
 end hts existence and collect on his fine ipelt, but Mrs D. C. Park, matron of the
 home, promptly stalled that ambition by offering tRe boys responsible for the cap l ture the full amount in cash of the value l of the pelt, if they would let the coon l stay in the home zoo-and an agreement
 was quickly reached on that basis.
 Guy Zito. driver of local public ser
 vice car. was recovering on Monday from l injuries he received Saturday when the big touring car he was driving crashed i into a pole beside the state highway near | Centerdale, R. l., on the Chepachet route to Providence.

Mass, to bring back some Pom. fret school students who were at that place to watch a football game in which

 was riding alone at the time of the accl.
 dent. which is said to have been due tc
 difficulty with the steering apparatus.
