Deane H. Kimball, aged 22, oldest son of Mr. and Mrs.' ‘George H. Kim- ball, who live about a mile from Hampton, came to Willimantic Satur- day to do some trading. He boarded a local freight train at North Wind- ham, and after he had concluded his purchases in this city, instead of waiting for the regular afternoon pas- senger train for Hampton, made what is known as the Worcester extra freight, that leaves this city at 2.25 P.m, The train was delayed some- what between this city and Hampton, and when it neared that town was g0ing at a very fast rate of speed to et out of the way of the regular pas- senger train that is due to leave Wil- Iimantic at 258 p. m. The train did not stop at Hampton and Mr. Kimball Jumped off about 30 yards east of the Hampton station. It is thought that he landed on his feet and that the force of the swiftly moving train caused him to be thrown to the ground ground with such force that his skull was crushed in and his neck broken. The left foot was quite badly mangled and there were other injuries, It is believed that the foot was run over by :\ the. wheels of one car at least. i Medical Examiner Charles M.

GYPSY, TOLD FORTUNES. Relisved South Windham Man of $10. Saturday afternoon G. W. Smith of South Windham regrted to the local police authorities that he had been stung to the tune of $10 by a Eypsy woman, The trick was turned when he was on his way te this citv from his home when he overtook a tribe of slick gypsies who were on their way towards this city. He was stopped and one woman wanted to tell his fortune. He bit and was easy enough to permit her to take his wad of $30 in her hand while she was going through the for- mula of passing upon his prospects for the future. When the thing was over he counted the roll and found that two $5 bills were missing. Captain Richmond found thé wo- man. She gave her name as Annie Mitchell and was arrested at 2.20 o'clock. It was deemed wise to have the no- madic band move on as Soon as pos- sible and wires were immadiately got to working and a speclal ession of police court was held early in the eve- ning with Judge William A. Arnold presiding. The charge was larceny and she was found guilty and a fine of 35 and costs was imposed that was paid by one of the male members of the band from a roll as large as a boot leg. The same individual bad a fine chain, across his vest, that was com- posed of a large number of five-dollar gold pieces The gypsies had planned to camp over night in the grove opposite Camp station and then proceed on to New York state. The little flim-flam esca- pade was, however, the means of their being ordersd on their way Saturday evening. No time was lost in getting under way after the case was cleared up. Town Owns O’Loughlin Property. ’I‘he 0 Loughlm nropam' that has talk and Aeakeitgted the hammg 3t two: town meetings within the- course of a few months, has at last been transferred to the town. One thing or another has come up to prevent its previous trans- fer. The last wrinkle that caused de- lay was the question of title and after much arduous work, Town Counsel Andrew Jackson Bowen gave out® the statement that everything was as it should be and Saturday afternoon the interested parties got together and the deed was passed. Judge Bowen rep- resented the selectmen and the deed was executed and signed by Ross and Hannah O'Loughlin. The price of $10,- 000 was paid by the town by a check for that amount, The town of Windham now has a title to the entire property and it will be used for addiitonal high school pur- poses, in all probability.

Reported by the Noank Correspondent of the Westerly Sun. It has always been conjectured that snakes have been inhabftarts of a warn place and were not desitous of getting near the frigid zone. But this theory' was violated Thursday, when workmen at the ice house of E. K. Spicer in Poquonoc discovered a nest of 23 of the wrigglers. The largest measured three feet, and the smallest one foot in length. All were of the adder family. Four snakes' eggs were also found’and were put into a hat by one of the employes on an ice wagon, who planned to take them to Groton and put them on exhibition. His hopes were never realized, for some little time before the village- was reached the eggs hatched and fhie hat was full of squirmers. ‘Every ¢ne of the. rep- tiles seen was killed)—New London Globa Si New! ndnpahln Chestef W.
