PUTNAM

"The wicked feeth when no man pur- sueth." Suppose your cellar was dryer than the lower regions and someone told you the police were going to raid your place for hooch white mule or home brew, what would you do? Very likely you would say: Let them raid and have all the fun they want. I should worry :" If within the last 24 hours you have happened to notice some citizens of Put nam sidfe up to the police and hold a whispered conversation, probably you have thought, if you thought about it at all. that it was the weather or politics that was under serious discussion But this is too hot a day to stretch story To get down to facts the police have been very much surprised within the space of the setting and re-setting sun to have a number of men approach them and ask them if it was so that their places were to be raided several have | asked that same direct question of the 1 captain. The first did not cause any wonder or surprise; the second did some what; but when it came to be repeated over and over the officers began to say. | in effect: Who's who, and what's what, and how about it?" Some time ago tele- phone calls were sent about town and the messages were ''phony" i'm more senses than one. Now comes this latest enigma. l COIncOIlS IS QlleIIy tipping OH Clt1ZenS that they are to be raide1 by the police when there is no thought of a raid. and the one tipped off has never even come under suspicion. Apparently some of 1 those tipped off did not do as the man l with the dry cellar and innocent as a i canary bird would do-nothing but they l1astened anxiously to the police to find out if it were so. All the police have said about it Is that the inquiries are a | fact. In all probability, however they are wondering why some of their inuuisi- tors are so anxious. Who the wholesale tipster is. is not known. It looks like the same kind of fun that sone person a little while ago derived by sending un- true telephone messages to the police and | to citizens
 After Journey of between zoo and 800 miles, a carrier pigeon alighted at the home of George c. Phillips, East Wood stock. The, bird seemed tired and was quite tame.

Mrs. Phillips has communicated with Mir Adams and while waiting re- ply is caring for the bird. The pigeon flies off during the day but always re- appears toward evening.

IN KILLING OF ANOTHER
Mitchell Field Court Martial
AbsoIUes Purcell.

Lieut.. Robert Purcell was found not
guilty yesterday of causing the death
of Lieut.. John Proullot at Mitchell Field
week ago. Lieut.-Col. John l.. Bond
was president of the court martial
which tried Purcell at Hampstead. l.. l.
Capt, Joseph II. Cromwell defended
him.
Lieut.. Purcell, on the stand, had told
the court that on the day of Proullot' 5
death he had not been told that there
would be no firing, and that he car
ried fully loaded automatic when he
went to the field. He had removed the
magazine during the instruction and
replaced it later. Afterward be and
several other officers were gathered
around a table discussing how TO re-
lease the slide Of an automatic with
the right thumb. To demonstrate. he
had opened his pistol. he said forget
ting for second that IT was loaded.
His hand, he asserted. was pcrsplrinG
and the pistol oily, so that to get the
cartridge out his finger must have
slipped to the trigger.
Purcell insisted he had intended nc
wrongdoing and that the shot was
accidental The dead officer was an
absolute stranger to him, he never hav-
ing seen him before the fatal accident
he testified.
Purcells home is in Rochester.
