SToREKEEPER'S KINDNESS TO PIGEONS BRINGS GRIEF

This business of being kind to feahered friends has its limitations, Joe Dimond, Anchorage grocer, stat ed in no uncertain terms recently after an experience with four pig cons that nearly wrecked the inter for of his store.
 It has been Joe's habit for many years to throw some grain to the pigeons in front of the building This morning bolder than usual they followed a trail of rice right into his establishment and when Joe 'shushed" them, instead of walking out the door again, they took of for the upper reaches of the canned goods.
 could bring them down so Joe timed Joe's shelf climbing nicely and always managed to keep one jump ahead.
 George Vaara joined forces with the storekeeper and late this after noon the pigeons were cornered.
 I shoulda made a pot pic out of the bunch" Joe was heard to re- mark, as he tossed the last of the unwelcome visitors out the door. earlier this week birds once more took the center of interest for ten ants of the block between E and D when what was described as thous- ands of small birds swarmed over the buildings late Tuesday night.
 MT. Yaara believes they were young sparrows, starting a southern migration. Bill Holt said he saw tha. birds.
 There was a continual humming' and chirping," he said, "and they. were as thick as a swarm of bees. ,"
 He said he found number dead in the alley behind his store where they apparently dashed themselves into telephone wires.

STORY REVIVED OF
 RICH H0OSIER MINE

ROCKVILLE. Ind. = Somewhere among the brush-filled, abandoned mine workings along the Lynnyille- Beonville road old timers say there a-5 riches awaiting a lucky discov- 5rer. .,
 The bearded veterans have told Jhst same alluring information to travellers and townspeople for more than a half century. Today, how ever. the 'silver secret" Solomon Turpen carried to his grave seems as secure as 1t was back in 1887 when he displayed a handful of silver nuggets and ore to 9 disbelieving audience in the general store.
 Close-mouUhed and taciturn, the lucky miner refused to say where he had made his discovery.
 Excitement ran high in the town that day" recalled Albert Hart, T, who lives near the abandoned work ings. "It was even worse when met allurgists analysed the ore and re ported 1t contained a high percen- tage of high-grade silver.
 Through 1t all Turpen was pretty -mouthed. The up-shot of the situation was that a shaft was started near his property on what is known as Dyson Knobs"
 But the diggings were destined for 9 discouraging end. The silver sup ply began to run low and finally pc tered out all together. The well-like shafts gradually became filled with dirt and debris The road cut from the Knobs from the highway grew 1p Tn bushes and trees.
 Nothing is left up there now ex- E few shallow holes in the ground and a eouD'e 1f he old timbers used f F-acs fEe rslls Of the shafts ! said.
 Tae-e j. c--ssi-z- angle to the story C. taa -7Ir- -.5ne-one that indi- es.z zs 7rz cs these days some lucky person Is likely to stumble into wealth somewhere along the Boon ville-Lyunville road.
 Matthew Turpen of Evansville, a brother of the secretive miner, Is still living.
 "My brother never told where he found that silver" Matthew said after a visit here. Tt happened he had a lease on he Knobs land people jumped to the conclusion he found t =h5re."
 But I don't believe 1t was there t all-it was some place along the ESnnville- -Boonville -c2d.
 Sol might have intended mining be stuff himself later on, but he jed too soon"

Total inspections Placed at 20,S44; Delinquents
 Face Suspension

WaterburianS who failed to coF1- ply with the inspection regulations of the state department of motor vehicles were in a wondering mood wondering how soon 1t would be before they were picked up and reported to Hartford, whare they stand a chance of having their reg istrations revoked for as long as 90 days.
 The local lane closed on Satur- day, and will check no local auto- mobiles, other than those which have been junked and rehabilitated. Out of state cars will also be in- spected at the local lane, where two of the ten inspectors have remained on duty.
 AS was expected, the last minute rush for inspection was in progress Saturday, and something of re- cord in total cars inspected was es- tablished. A total of 958 cars passed over the inspection equipment, and of this number 398 first cheeks were passed; 303 rechecks were passed, and 257 were rejected.
 A total of 29,844 automobiles were checked at the local lane since April l9 when it first opened. Local in- spectors will establish a lane at Bristol, August 16, for the start of the second inspection period. The second inspection period for this city will open in September.

In party circles.
 The general feeling in high re- publican circles is that he would be strong candidate against any nominee the democrats might pre- sent. Though Governor Wilbur L. Cross, the states first f1ve-term governor, can dictate his own terms at the next democratic state convention and while it is general ly believed that he will stand for a sixth term there are many fac tors which enter into the situa- tion respecting him.
 The group n t he state demo- cratic party led by U. S. Senator Francis T. Maloney is grooming Democratic State Chairman J. Francis Smith as the successor to Governor Cross, should the gover- nor elect to retire.
 Attorney Dananer has all the attributes of the ideal candidate for governor. His father is a staunch labor man and author of some of Connecticut's most liberal labor laws. The former secretary of state is World War veteran, 8 member of the Sons of Union Veterans, a member of the Amer ican Legion and is highly regard ed in party circles. Leaders feel that he would be particularly at- r tractive candidate in cities where the party has been losing steadily and that his contacts in the legis- lature would provide him with a rural bloc of votes.
 Discussion in party circles rela- tive to the filling of the positions of Republican National Commit teeman and republican state chairman has been taking place. Former Congressman Edward Goss of Waterbury is reported fav- ored for the national committee position which has been vacant since the death of J. Henry Rora- back. Colonel Raymond Gates. commandant of the Soldiers Home Noroton, is widely favored for the state chairmanship.

J. Francis Smith of Waterbury for Governor!
 While Waterburians speculate on Mayor Frank Hayes chances of be- ing reelected for his fifth term, po- litical writers in various parts of the state are turning their attentions to possibilities of 1888 when the state elections roll around.
 According to the Bridgeport Times-Star U. s. Senator Francis T. Maloney is grooming J. Francis Smith of Waterbury as a potential successor to Governor Wilbur L. Cross as the democratic standard bearer, providing the latter declines to run again. It also pictures John A. Danaher of Meriden as the re- publican's possible choice.
 Incidental
 Apparently mayoralty fights in New Haven, Hartford and Water bury are just incidental events to the Park City political commentator. State and national candidates are more interesting Tight summer reading" Here's the TimeS-Star lat- est political picture:
 Midsummer discussion among state republican leaders brought reports today that John A. Dan- aher, former Secretary of State and son of Cornelius J. Danaher of Meriden, general counsel for the Connecticut Federation of La- bor, was being given consideration as possible candidate for gover- nor on the 1888 republican state ticket.
 The discussion of Attorney Dan- aher's name was the first rift in republican talk of candidates for governor which heretofore has generally favored Representative Noah H. Swayne of Darien, chairman of the house judiciary committee and majority leader for the republicans in that branch of the general assembly.
 Danaher's name may shortly be brought out in the open for pur- poses of determining the reaction
