Putnam Boy Now Well
 Known Veterinarian
Louis Lavine in Forefront as Advo- cate of Violet Rays as Modern
 Treatment for Race Horses

Louis Lavine, son of the late Abra- ham Lavine, who for years had a second hand store at the corner of Bridge and Chapel streets, is now a veterinarian in San Diego. California. Dr. Lavine is coming into prominence as an expert in the treatment of thoroughbred horses by violet rays. A mass of convincing evidence as to the benefits of this mode of treatment has been gathered by Dr. Lavine and other progressive veterinarians in San Diego, who are collaborating for their mutual advancement.
 A nearby stable of thoroughbred running horses has given pr. Lavine an opportunity to demonstrate his theories and, according to the owner of the stable the results have been most gratifying and surprising.
 Made Progress
 Although" says Lavine, 'the ultra violet has been used prior to 1927 in treating race horses, much progress has been made since then. One im- portant step is the use of apparatus that converts electrical energy into heat energy and sends it into that part of the horses anatomy in which we desire to establish warmth and heat over that amount supplied by a normal temperature.
 1t is said that horsemen are com .ng more and more to see the virtues of this treatment as permanent cure for wide range or illness in- eluding indisposition, lameness, bowed tendons. muscular ailments. inefiicieney in bone composition and score of other physical troubles. IL has also been found regenerating for horses that have become track weary or trace wise" through continued com petition.

MYSTERY SURROUNDS
 MURDER0US ATTACK
George Shrine, Pomfret, Does Not Know or Refuses to
 Name Assailant
Revolver Discharged. Bullet Passes
 Through Sleeve

Only through a complaint made to the state police by Mrs. Ida Piercy of Pomfret that her son. George Sir rine 20. had been murderously at tackled in the Piercy home in the early morning hours of Tuesday. Jan- uary t4th. have facts of an affair come Go light which, it would appear from the surrounding circumstances, the son intended to keep secret Shrine made no complaint of the murderous attack upon him. nor since some of the facts have become known through complaint of his mother to the authorities has he given the state police any information to assist them in their investigation to determine the identity of his assailant. Due to Sirrinc's reticence. or else unwilling ness to tell all he knows. the state police have been baked in their in- vestigatien and 1t Is anticipated that their further effort to disclose the att tacker's identity will be dropped.
 Had Trouble
 According to the state officers young Shrine has had difficulties with some young man. What the trouble was over IS only surmise but it Is believed that jealousy Is the mo- tive behind the mysterious attack. There are. it is said. many different stories of this aspect of the case.
 Last week Tuesday morning be- tween one and two o'clock, the police have learned, the unknown man went Go the Fiercy home and rapped on the door Shrine opened the door and the unknown stepped into the hall- way. There the intruder drew a re- volver and attempted by threat to accomplish some unknown purpose. Shrine gfappled with tho man and in the seuif'o the revolver was discharg- ed The bullet passed through Sir rine's shirt sleeve and lodged in the wall of the house.
 Ii was not until 6vc days later that complaint Of the attack was made to the state police. At this late day it was not the victim of the assault that then made known that there had been a shooting affair It is believed that his mother became alarmed for her son's safety and therefore told the state police the story.
 Victim Questioned
 The state police questioned Shrine but he either does not know or re- fuses to tell who the man was he found outside when he openod the door in response to knock iu the early morning hours and who sub- sequeutiy attacked him. The officers believe that he is withholding infor- nation and does not want to divulge the nnmeof his assailant
 It Is understood that a number ot young men have been questioned about the shooting but that they have not given any definite informa- ton to aid the police investigation. On account of the attitude of thoso directly concerned the investigation will probably be dropped.

was carried over the wall and into the icy waters. Besides a slight in- jury to his leg and a cold bath he was uniniured.
 The car's rampage attracted the at tention of the neighborhood and a crowd collected. Those passing saw the small gathering and stopped to investigate. Soon several hundred people were standing about and auto mobiles were blocking traffic to such an extent that the police arrived to straighten out the congestion. A truck pu led the Ford from the river and the gathering dispersed.
