William Swanson. Swanson moved in 1 to another room, but before he did so Prest entered the room he was to occupy l and saw the watch and chain, a cheap I affair, on the bureau. When Swanson's clothing was removed pair of Prest's i shoes were removed by mistake. When
 Prest went to Swanson's s room to get the
 shoes he again saw the watch and chain. Not meeting the requirements of his enl-
 ployer, Prest was told Saturday night
 that his services would be no longer re-
 quired. Sunday morning he left the
 place and he took Swanson's watch with 1 him. The police were notified and with 1 in an hour had Prest under arrest at l Webster. In court, Prest told the pudge
 that he thought he could get to Worces- i ter before the theft was discovered. He
 said that smce he was seven years or age until he was 21 he had been in charge 1 of the Massachusetts state board of char l ities. The man seemed to be of less
 than normal intelligence and did not fully I realize his position. He had fifteen dol
 lars with him, paid the fine and promised to leave Putnam for good.
 An aeroplane passed over Putnam
 Sunday afternoon flying very low. To
 those who saw the plane it appeared
 to drop gradually as it neared the city and it looked for a time as if the aviat-
 or was looking for a landing place The
 engine seemed to be running smoothly
 and soon the aircraft that came from the south headed to the east, in the
 direction of Providence.

 Main street grounds Sunday afternoon and saw the Nightingale-Morse Inc, [ baseball team defeat, in a ten inning , contest, the Cleveland Colored Giants,
 a nall-engro team that is now in the east playing independent ball. The score was to '. By all odds it was the best
 exhibition of the national game that has 5 Ibeen given here this year. and although v the playing time was over two and a half hours there was never a dull mo- . ment. Both teams were playing high . grade ball, with Putnam having shade q of advantage in nearly all phases The
 locals nicked the invading pitchers for fourteen hits, including two doubles by s DeForest and one by/Faucher. The Gi- e ants hooked off eleven safeties, with a 6 pair of doubles by G. Arthur and a . single one by Rhodes. Of the nine er-
 TOTS in the game. the Nightingale in- n field was responsible for four the most
 disastrous of which came in the fourth t when Maher, at short jazzed up a e grounder that Campbell had, shot into his
 territory. This play resulted in two e runs for the visitors
 Auger, the Putnam left fielder, con. tributed the most spectacular play of the > afternoon, and thereby probably saved the game for Putnam. With two out
 and a runner at. second and third II Rhode drove line. fly between center : and left, Auger dashed for it, and pulled . it in while travelling at top speed, thus
 retiring the Giants. ,Hatchett, the Gi = ants second corner, representative, also y saved his team mates from a bad hole
 when in the fourth inning he shot up into $ the air and pulled down liner from
 Maher's bat.
 . Throughout the game there was consid
 erable dissatisfaction expressed both by q players and the fans at some of the de :. cisions of the umpires. In the fifth tht U baseball was abandoned temporarily
 while the players and Umpire Stepher Y held an informal debate. The Giants r. claimed he had changed a decision whicl
 prevented their batter from walking tt . first. In the fifth LaChepelle, who wa. ,. giving decisions on the bases. called Mel y son safe at third on a slide play. ~Thi.
 started trouble which calrned down onl5
 when LeCheppell agreed to leave tht e game from then on, Stephen made all de l. cisions. While it may be true that thl e unpiring was not up to scratch, neither n team had any advantage for the alleged = adverse decisions were evenly divided
