The Inevitable End

In this fair and sunny region long
a bandit held his sway, and his
vicious crimes were legion-he would
rob and get away. All the crimes
from murder downward he'd COM
mitted, it was said; and we made our
journeys downward with our bosoms
full of dread. Oh, the Master Mind
was busy, drawing ranSomS flt for
kings, ani the sleuths were getting
dizzy chasing round in, futile rings.
And my neighbors read the papers,
tab on all his crimes they kept
Crooks can pull their evil capers
and get by they said, and wept.
when man OF brains goes rob-
bing, he can put all things across !;
justice on her perch is sobbing, and
the laws a total loss | replied.
This man is greater than the COM
mon run OF crooks. but they'll get
him soon or later, donnerwetter and

bandit, who had f1aunted all the laws
which should prevail, who by many
towns was wanted, now is safely
locked i'll jail. He is facing years of
durance. years of suffering and
shame; Total loss, without insur-

lily Homes Are Best for
Normal Children.

Suggestions for improving the work
Of the board of children's guardians
were made to w. w. MILAN, president
of the board, today in a letter from
Miss Leora C. Field, former super

Miss Field urges the board to con-
tinue to seek larger appropriations

make it possible to place all normal

Visions of another spirited contest in the annual town election on Oct. 6, in the town of Thompson, are seen by the renomination of Philip Du- hamel of North Grosvenordale by the Democratic party, in caucus, Monday evening.

ESCAPE FROM HOTEL
 IN NIGHT CLOTHES
F. H. Sanborn and Family, For merly of Putnam, Have
 Narrow Escape
Lose Practically Everything-Mr. Sanborn, Up Late, Discovers Blaze

Mir. and Mrs. F. H. Sanborn and four children. who have a home on the Senexit Road. though they have not lived in Putnam for several months, had a narrow escape from fire last Friday night when the summer hotel in which they were staying at West hampton, Long Island, caught fire and burned to the ground All were com pelled to leave the building clad only in their night clothes.
 Through the summer on trips to Putnam Mir. Sanborn has been bring ing goods from his home here 10 the hotel. since the family do net expect to return to Putnam, but expect to make their home in Montclair. N. J. Thus they had a large supply of clothing and other personal effects in their rooms, all of which was lost in the blaze. As Misses Mary and Grace San born leave next week for St. Mary's School at Peekskill, N. Y, many new things had been purchased for them, and also for Noel. who Is now at the Kent School, Kent. Conn. Most of this was packed. all ready for shipment. and had to be abandoned in the hur- ried exit.
 Mir. Sanborn Discovers Fire
 Mfr. Sanborn was the first person in the hotel, a three story frame struc- ture, te discover the fire. He had stayed up rather late Friday evening. since some of the children were at a social affair Because he is a rather light sleeper smoke in his room awak- ened him at o'clock. and he hurried to tell his family and others in the hotel of the apparent danger.
 While he was doing this. the heat became intense and the stairway burst into flames. Since there were outside passways, this did not prevent the lodgers from escaping. Mir. Sanborn also awakened lodgers on the third floor, all of whom had to hurriedly leave the building by the fire seape, and few jumped to save their lives.
 In taking his departure from the hotel. Mr. Sanborn snatched up a golf suit which he had laid out ready for early morning golf, and also his watch. Not another thing was saved. Within fifteen minutes after the alarm was first given the old wooden structure, a veritable tinder-box, fell in.
 Cottagers Open Homes
 The former Putnam family and oth- CT lodgers at the hotel were taken in by people owning cottages at West hampton. and others at the beach were quick to step forward in loaning wear ing apparel and other necessities Co those who lost their possessions in the fire.
 Mr. Sanborn and Noel came to Put nam Monday and the young man was taken in charge by the Rev. F. H. Bigelow of Pomfret, who was taking two other boys out to Kent. His par ents remained here through this week the moving of furnishings from the home on the Senexit road to New Jersey.
