PUTNAM

Over at ousdic, an Anderson touring car that has been destroyed by fire was an object of interest Friday The ma chine it develops through ar investiga- tion by the Putnam police was stolen in Worcester last Sunday It was the prop erty of James Fitzgerald of Worcester.
 In the opinion of Captain Remi Delase it has been in use as a boeze runner since it disappeared from Worcester and was deliberately destroyed after the thieves had used it to serve their purpose.
 It appears that the car was set afire al the left rear wheel and allowed to blaze. Empty bottles that were found under the car and other evidence on the ground about the car strengthens the theory that it had been used in booze running.
 Fire completely wrecked the machine and 1t is nearly worthless to the owner if not wholly so.
 Mir. Fitzgerald was communicated with and told what had happened to his car. night to inspect the machine and to de- eide what he would do with 1t. Thousands of trout from tho state hatchery have just been released in brooks in the towns of Putnam. Tnomp- son, Pomfret and Killingly. The young trout were brought here in cans and taken to favorite fishing streams for re- lease. A further supply of the hngerings will be forthcoming in September for re- lease in brooks in this tefFitory~ where the trout fishing season that closed last week has not been generally successful, indicating that the streams were quite thoroughly fished out.
 Trout fishing in this section of eastern Connecticut is winning more and mere devotees each year and the restocking now under way will be very much ap2re- ciated by all interested in the sport
 Another big crowd was at the Ellks' fair grounds at Taten field Friday. which was Danieison-Meosup night and Mardi Gras night Several hundred residents of the towns to the south came here, including the Elks who are members of Putnam lodge and live in the places mentioned. The visitors brought along band and participated in the usual nightly parade. l The immense interest in the fair was made very evident Thursday evening, when Governor Everett J. Lake was in at l tendance The grounds were fairly jam
 med with people and all found much to 1 interest them, the excellent vaudeville proving especially entertaining. The success of the entir 6 venture is now 1 assured notwithstanding the hard handi-
 cap the weatherman set against the
 antlered ones during the early part of the week.

 ways in this section, and a motorcyeli officer is apt to be encountered at almos any place, day or night. For instance drivers who went over the route betweei Putnam and Danielson Thursday nigh
 encountered State Officer Merrill Keitl
 on the job.
 Speeding Is an expensive luxury in nor
 ways than one, and as the state polio are now keeping close watch for the flyer
 an extra hazard is added to all that wen
 before.
