SALISBURY SCHOOL
 HAS A FIRE SCARE
Hose Companies of Lakeville and Canaan Called
 to Blaze

Fire at the Salisbury School for Boys, located just beyond Smith Hill, caused considerable apprehension Monday afternoon to the faculty and the student body in general. The resulting damage was comparatively small, only small building and the ice house being destroyed, though it was feared for time that the large dairy barns, house and other nearby buildings would be consumed by the flames. ..%. @
 It is believed that the fire started from defective chimney in small building, when fire was started pre- paratory to some butchering. Before it was discovered it had gained con siderable headway and telephone calls were sent to Lakeville and Canaan Fire Companies. In the mean ime bucket brigades were formed by the boys with such good effect that the flying sparks causing nearby roofs to catch fire were quickly put out. .Ef#. .~
 The direction in which the wind was blowing was the only thing that averted a most serious confagration. Carrying the sparks and burning embers in just the opposite direction to which the buildings were located, it was comparatively easy to confine the fire to the building where it ori- ginated. The Hose companies were practically helpless except for chemi- calls as there was little possibility of using the water contained in the storage tank.
 The Canaan fremen arrived at the scene of the blaze twenty-two min utes after the siren sounded, which is pretty good time, considering the condition of the roads.

CLAIMED HE HAD NOT
 SLEPT IN 40 YEARS
William Warner, "Hermit of Hartsville" Leaves
 Sister Here

William Warner, an eccentric South Berkshire character, died al the home of Mrs. Alexander Hough taling of So. Egremont on Saturday He was about 75 years old and g veteran of the civil war, in which he had good record. When he returned he located in Hartsville, where he owned small place and lived for the greater part of his life. His death recalls the story of another Berkshire hermit, George c. Crosby, around whose life Mrs Costello of Great Harrington has woven an interesting little story, entitled "The Hermit of the Berkshires.'' ,3l
 Hs achieved considerable fame about 10 years ago when he an. nounced that he had not slept for over 80 years. This was published from coast to coast and MT. Warner realized quite sum by selling his pictures which he had printed on postal cards.
 < He claimed that his mind was, that of scientist and that. it was devel- oped to such high degree that he could not sleep.
 The recently published story to the effect that a certain person had dis covered or invented what he called ''bottled sunshine" whereby a light could be kept going for hours with out any known means of maintaining it, is an idea often talked of by MT. Warner years ago. He claimed on different occasions that this could be done. ~ t.' t.s
 Early in life he was given the nickname of "Turnip" Warner. This was due to the fact that his little farm was entirely devoted to the raising of turnips and for years he had large sale and supplied this entire section with turnips of the best quality. He always sold from sample and as sure as fall arrived '"Turnip" Warner would appear at the back doors with a fair sized sample of a turnip in his hand and generally made sale.
 MT. Warner during the past two years made his home with Mrs: Alex ander Houghtaling in Egremont and he had told her many times that it was nearly 40 years that he had never slept. He claimed that visions came to him at night as he lay on his bed like rain through a leaky roof. He called himself "Billp Warner, the scientist, and this name clung to him quite generally. He was also called "the hermit of Hartsville," where he lived alone for many years. He was also known as "the sleepless wonder" and many people coming to this section recalled the stories of the sleepless person and expressed a desire to see him. He enlisted in the civil war a the age of IT and during the war lost a brother by illness in the south. He enlisted in the Sec ond Connecticut regiment at Win sted. His only survivor is sister, Mrs, Samantha Benton of Canaan The funeral was held Tuesday after noon and the burial was in New Marlboro.

MASONS WIN CUP IN
 SETBACK TOURNAMENT
Defeat Odd Fellows In 12- Game Series by 47
 Points

The final games in the setback tournament between teams repre- senting the Masonic and Odd fellow fraternities, were played last Friday night. The Masons were defeated by four points, though it looked for a time as though they would lose the cup, for at one table the Odd Eel lows won by 38 points.
 The tournament has lasted for twelve weeks and during this time there has prevailed fine fraternal spirit in spite of the rivalry for possession of the silver cup. Aside from the entertainment derived from these games, the tournament has promoted the feeling of good fellow. ship in both organizations.
 After the series last Friday night the players and other members of both organizations adjourned to the Masonic dining room where a supper was enjoyed. Speeches were made by captains of both teams telling how they had won and lost and other in- teresting topics, as we'll as remarks by other members. It was fitting dosing to the tournament and opin- ion seems unanimous for a similar event next winter. Following is a summary of each of the twelve games:

JAMES QUINN WAS A
 VETERAN OF CIVIL WAR
Wounded Three Times m Battle of the Wild
 erness

The death Of James Qulnn on
 Saturday marks the passing of one more of the few remaining veterans of the Civil war and highly respect ed citizen of this town. It is said that he is the last veteran of the Catholic faith in the town.
 MT. Quinn was born 82 years ago in Omagh, County Tyrone, Province of Ulster, Ireland. He came to this country at the age of eighteen, loca- ting with an uncle in Bridgeport. He enlisted on April Il, 1862, in Co. E, 18th Regiment U. s. Infantry, in New York, and was later called back to that city to quell the draft riots which ensued.
 While MT. Quinn was in the ser vice but two years he saw consider able action and was wounded three times, resulting in his discharge just before the war closed. He came through the battle of Gettysburg without a scratch, but during the Battles of the Wilderness he lost foot and was hit in two other places. His discharge states that he was in the battles of Antietam, Frederlcks- burg, Gettysburg, Mine Run, The. Wilderness and Spotsylvania, all important engagements.
 After his discharge MT. Quinn re- turned to Bridgeport and came to this town in 1868. He worked for a short time for Luman Foote as harness maker and then went to Lee, Mass. While there he married Wini-s fred Nolan and shortly afterward moved to Great Burlington where he opened harness shop, which he con ducted for about ten years. He then returned to Canaan and again entered the employ of MT. Foote, whose business he purchased and and conducted until 1905, when he retired. He was independent III poll tics, though he was elected to the office of First Selectnnan or the Democratic ticket. He voted for both Roosevelt and Harding for president.
 Mr. Quinn possessed n quiet. genial disposition and his harness shop was general Headquarters for the men of his age who cengregased there to discuss questions of the day. Some who are still living can we'll remem- Der many amusing and interesting incidents which happened there.
 Besides his wife, MT. Quinn is survived by three daughters, Mrs. Charles D. Mackie of Pittsfeld, Miss Katherine Quinn of Boston and Miss Mabel of this place; also two sons, Joseph w., of Danbury and James cf Springfield, Mass, and nine grand- children.
 Funeral services were held from St. Joseph's church on Monday morn ing with requiem high mass by Father Ranney. Musical selections were rendered by Miss Gertrude Huggins of Hartford and J. A. Bianchi. Burial took place in the family plot in St. Joseph's cemetery. Members of David s. Cowles Post, G. A. R. and the American Legion attended in a body. Taps were soGnded as the casket was lowered in the grave.
