Gardner, allas Fulton, was in Nor- wich selling typewriters, being em- ployed by an agent of the Smith Pre- mier company. r doing business here for some time, it is claimed that he #kipped from here owing his em- glvyar about $200.

Typewriter Agent Gardner Alias Fulton Sought by Em- ploye— Left Norwich After Transaction—Wrong Party An officer from Norwich came to this eity and golng to police headquar- ters, sald he was looking for a fugitive from justice and expected to find him In this city, He showed a photograph of the man he wanted and gave other information that induced Detectivi Brown and another man from head. quarters to go to Mr, Fulton’s home on Friday night and arrest him. The officer from Norwich disappear- ;d atfi” a time, but showed up 18;‘% wllc; quarters yesterday morning, an after taking a i':.fx at the prisoner said he was not the man. Mr, Fulton said in court that he felt 1n need of sleep after his night at po- lice headquarters. There were so many bugs in the cell that he had to keep awake to fight them. “Why the board of health doesn't loook after the sanitation of the cells occupled by human beings is more than I can explain,” he sald. “Perhaps the city 1s too heavily in debt to buy a lit- tle insect powder. It must be munici- poverty also that keeps the city m gt a blanket over night to a citizen who is forced to occupy one of the cells. There was a wooden bench on which to sleep, and although the cell was had a cellmate. I was. informed I was in luck because there were not seven or eight other men In the cell witk me. g T heard that a prisoner in another cell sent out to buy a blanket for him- self. He gave up $2, but a half pint of whiskey came In with the blanket, so I suppose he got his money's worth. I found ahis morning that it would cost me $1 to send a message trom police | headquarters, and 1f I wanted a morn- | ing newspaper it wbuld cost me 25 cents.” NEW LONDON MAN DEPUTY OF NORWICH LODGES Appointments Made by Grand Chan- cellor Stanton of State Knights of Pythias.

OBITUARY. John Staubley. At 12.30 o'clock Sunday noon the death of John Staubley occurred at his home, No. 265 Yantic street. While he had been ailing for many years, his last sickness was of but two weeks' duration, and the end came unexpect- edly. He had been up and about, al- though weak, when he complained of a pain In his side. Lying down on the lounge he said he would soon be all right, and soon passed away as if going to sleep. John Staubley was born in Switz- erland, June 1, 1835, the son of Cyrus and Mary Staubley. When he was 15 years of age he came to this coun- try and nearly all his life has been spent in- Norwich and Fitchville, his residence in the latter place being short, He learned the machinist's trade in the Falls mil] and was later employed in Rogers’ machine shop, where he was o badly injured that it affected him the remainder of his life, and forced him to give up that business. He was unable to do much walking, and for forty years kept a saloon in Yantic street, which he gave up 12 years ago, since which he has not been engaged in any business. He was a man of unusual strength and frequent- ly exhibited his power to the aston- ishment of his friends. He was a member of the W. M. Willlams hose company at the Falls for years, and was an honorary member until it went out of existence last fall. February 183, 1858, he married Mary McManus, the ceremony being per- formed by Rev. Dr. Bond of the Sec- ond Congregational church, and they celebrated their golden wedding last February, Mt. Staubley is survived by his wife and five children, Mrs. William Me- Climon, Mre. James McClimon and Mrs. Patrick Dowling of this city, John H. Staubley of New York, and Mar- tin Staubley of Mar:insburg, W. Va.

Va. ‘The deceased was one of the old residents of the city and widely known especially through the Falls section. He was a man of pleasing address, kind hearted and libera] and had many friends. He has been a great sufferer. PROCEEDS FROM THE QUARTER. City Court Will Turn Over to City Treasurer $914.94. City Court Clerk Henry W. Tibbits will give a check to City Treasurer Ira L.

PADDOCK OF SCHOOL FOR COWBOYS AND GIRLS Spoke Three Times Here Sunday—Do- ing Great Work in His Industrial Institute. Rev. E. A, Paddock of Weiser, Ida., | spoke Sunday at Park church, at the . , and the Second Congre- | gational church in the evening. Rev, E, A. Paddock has had a most interesting career, as a lumberman in Wisconsin, as a state evangelist in | Illinois, a& a “sky pilot,” missionary, church organizer in Colorado, and now as_an educator in Idaho. Mr. Paddock, in his long humani- tarian work among rough people in the Rocky. mountains, was saddened by the lack of opportunities, educa- tional and religious, for the sons and daughters of miners, Mormons, shep- herds, cowboys, etc. He felt that some- thing must be done and nine years ago, without money or land, started the Tdaho Industrial institute. Secured Government Claim. He had a go ment claim of 80 acres, put up a ack” on it, and five students came. Financial help was found to assist In the bullding of a dormitory and a recitation building. a rough horse shed and crude work shop. After nine years the institute owns 2,000 acres of ranch land with a large, up to date dairy barn, 75 cows and 50 horses, a concrete work shop, 90 feet by 30 in size. There are four frame school buildings and two large reinforced concrete dormitories— one reinforced concrete dining room and chapel and forty young women, the other nearly finished will give shelter to 80 young mep. Mr. Paddock Is one of the most or- iginal educators of the country, for he solved better than any one else the problem of self-supporting education. His young people from the mines and cowboy cabins scattered over ten states, though of Yankee stock, are mostly poor. Each Pupil Works. But that does not debar them from the Idaho Industrial institute, for each pupll works five hours a day at fifteen cents an hour, the result of their 1abor (butter, grain, brooms, ta- bles, chairs, in the boys’ department, and dresses, Wrapps stockings, food products, in the girls' department) sell for nearly enough to meet running ex- penses. Scores of students are turned away for lack of room. The students make their own regu- lations and laws for the conduct of the students and seldom does the fac- ulty need to advise in matters of dis- cipline, Christian but Non-Sectarian. ‘The basis of the institute is Chris- tian but non-sectarian and the young people going forth with education, trades and character, will be civiliz- ers in that vast western country. Mr. Paddock, “the modern Lincoln, as many call him, brings to this suc- cessful and growing educationa] work a patience, courage, versatility and tact unsurpassed. He tolerates no idling and abomi- nates “poor jobs.” His butter and brooms and horses and cows are the best. Best of Instructors. The very best instructors (17 alto- gether) are from Yale, Dartmouth, Bryn Mawr, Connecticut normal school, Cornell, Oberlin, Ann Arbor, Chicago university, etv. The picturesque miners and shep- herds and cowboys with a few Mor- mons find & warm friend in this warm hearted man who with rare ability and skill is making the “desert to blossom as the rose.” ‘The Idaho Industrial institute is al- ready a great force for developing the splendid material of the plains and mountains, and is destined to have a great future. At the Y. M. C. A. Meeting. At the Sunday afternoon meeting in the Y. M. C. A., Rev E, A. Paddock of Welser, Idaho, head of a school for cowboys and cowgirls, was the speak- er, intensely Interesting a good sized audlence of men and women with a practical talk, which he said would be straight from the shoulder, as he was used to talk to his western au- diences, General Secretary Frank H. Mer- rill opened the meeting with a song service, President. A. A. Browning read the Scripture and E. A. Prentice offered prayer. President Browning then introduced the speaker, who in- troduced his remarks by saylng that he would give a talk with a double cinch—the ‘eyes and the ears. This he followed out by developing the five points which could be used from the letters of the word “Watch!” In an informal and striking way, richly filled in with illustrations from his western experfences, he told his hearers that they were to watch in five ways to build up a good character. Words, actions, thoughts, company and hearts were to be watched, and the final les- son was that God's help is the ulti- mate thing needed to resist tempta- tion.
