witch at an early date. It was at the
! Belisbe home that quantities Of yeast
| were taken. and it was to this place that
The Bulletin alluded Thursday morning
/ upon the fad Of eating yeast. The
neighborhood became wise to the fact
that much yeast was finding its way to
the Belisle house and when the head of
the family in any nearby home forgot to
bring home one of the little cakes for the,
good wife to use in bread mixing he was
sent to Belisle's TO get one. The neigh
borhood had heard some rumors that
hooch was being manufactured at Bel
isles, but there was not much credence
placed in the stories. as 1t was believed
that the family had just become ex-
tremists IN the yeast eating fad. Not so
the officers. They were convinced that
, the yeast was going into something be-
sides the stomach of the Be1isles, and
acted upon that theory.
The town school board is in receipt Of
a draft from the state of Connecticut for
S4,216, the state grant of s2.25 allowed
for each pupil attending the public
schools The amount is paid on 1872
n pupils. Part of the money which the
state pays to towns as school aid comes
from the investment of money received
from the sale of lands in Ohio which the
state originally owned and known as the
Western Reserve. When Connecticut was
granted its charter its territory extended
westward to the Pacific ocean. At that
, time the extent of the territory granted
was unknown. Claims were advanced
by other states and in the final settle
> naent of disputes Connecticut was allow
ed this territory as a part of its hold
ings The tract was purchased by a
syndicate headed by Mannassah Cutler
r who at one time lived on Putnam
Heights. AS the amount expended year
ly by the state in support of schools ha.
increased this fund has been insufficient
= to furnish the whole revenue needed but
it is stiM drawn upon for this purpose.
