PUTNAM

This city was called upon Thanksgiv- ing morning to furnish police dogs to aid dn trailing 8 man wanted at Blackstone. Mass, for the murder on the eve of the holiday of Albert ToTchette, brother, of Officer Origene Touchette a member of the police force of this city. NIT. Touchette was shot to death by a bandit. evidently intent on robbery.
 The police here got in touch with own CTS of police dog kennels in this terri tory and Jacob Baker of the Sawyer district responded to the call and left for Blackstone during the morning hours of Thanksgiving day with police dogs that were expected to be Of value in trailing the murderer. It appears that the bandit shot MT Touchette twice after the latter had entered store late We'd nesday evening MT. Touchetts was rushed to hospital In Woonsocket. but died shortly after the shooting occurred. At the Windham County Temporary Home for Children in the Sawyer dis trict on Thanksgiving day 130 children i who are inmates there were as happy | as guests at. any of the finest hotels jn the country around a festive board load ed to capacity with chicken, variety of vegetables; and all of the other good things that enter into the making of an old time Thanksgiving feast. Not an item was missing that in any manner would contribute to the making of a grand dinner, and the manner in which the healthy and happy young sters paid tribute to excellence of the dinner would result in dyspeptics' l home in a rush order for ton of in digestion tablets and an army corps of physicians and nurses. Not so at the county home, however. The yougsters 1 took on over-caDacity leads and carried i them off as lightly as a swan carries it's feathers. And, incidentally, the little people had fill of grapes, candy, nuts, 1 fruits and many other such good things, some of which the matron, Mrs. D. c. Parks, said were contributed by friends of the home, and in more liberal quanti- ties than ever before.
 1 Mrs. PaTksi expressed herself on Thanksgiving day as very appreciative of this generosity on the part of the givers, and the happiness of the children over what was done for them on the holiday would be reward enough for even the most liberal of givers, this thought sug- gesting what many other may do for thes little people at Christmas time if they only will.
