CENTURY -OLD CARVINGS FOUND ON
 BEECH TREE ON FARM IN PRESTON


 Initials and dates carved into the smooth bark of big beech tree on the Maxwell Richmond farm in Preston link the old tree with over a century ago, while an old cemetery on the farm has headstones that are dated before the Revolution
 The old tree with its markings that run from 1903 to 1868 was discovered by Will liam F. Hill of this city when he was tramping over g wooded section of the 150 acres in the farm to show it to a prospective buyer before it was purchased by it's present owner, Joseph M. Grifing.
 It seems probable that when the ,arv- ings were made the tree must have stood out conspicuously~in cleared lot. where 1t made an inviting appeal to more than one man who inscribed on 1t his initials and the date, but 1t is now hidden in the woods and was only discovered by chance as Mir. Hill, who pointed it out to the present owner and impressed him with the importance of preserving it as long as it lives. The big beech is five and one half feet in circumference and is in such healthy state that 1t looks as if it would stand for many years longer.
 The carven reco=a.begins with the let ters E. A. R. and the date Aug g, 1903 underneath them. It ends with ". A R. 1868, and includes five dates between Much of the carving is heavily grown over with moss. which has to be scraped off 10 show the letters and figures.
 Ten years after the earliest date ap. pears G. J. R., 1913. and another carver cut into the bark the figures 1877 without initials. W. R. carved these initials ir 1850 and again in 1860, while W. A. R. 1888, is the latest date. Alongside this I: the well defined figure of a turtle The only full name cut into the bark 1, that of J. A. Burdicl, preceded by 1854 and followed by the figures 1858. Besides the figure of the turtle. whicl is close to the ground, as it were jus 1 crawling up, there appear on another par of the tree ducks head. a grotesou, carving of man much like Indian carv ingsi and curious figure with heat 1 like bird

The woman was first seen with a small child sitting near the end of the bridge declaring in broken English that her husband had beaten her and that she would jump off the bridge. Policeman John McDermott was notified Meanwhile the crowd that had gathered tried to hold her but she repeatedly broke away and ran with her child towards the bridge.
 Officer McDern1ott took the woman and child in charge. John Blake, Jr.. was there in an automobile and car ried her to Dr. G. H. Jennings. He found few bruises on her arm. The facts seem to be that the trouble with her husband and the probable drink or two had put it into her head which timely interference by the passersby prevented. She was later taken to her | home

 INCREASE IN TWO YEARS

The number of Holsters in Connecticut waters has greatly increased in the past two years, according to several lobster men who conferred with Superintendent John W. Titcomb of the fish and game commission at Hartford. The increase is attributed to the preservation of the egg laying Holsters by the state due to the appropriation of s10,o0o by the last leg islature for the purpose of lobster pres ervation. Mir lTitcomb will probably ask for further appropriation in the next legislature to continue the work.
 The information received from the lob- stermen is to be embodied in the report of the commission, a stenographic record of the conference having been kept for record.
