Freed from Charge of Arson—Taken to Norwich State Hospital- Frank Dube, aged 18, who has been locked up in the local police station since last Wednesday afternoon as the result of an attempt to set fire to No. 4 mill of the American Thread com- pany, was in_ police court Monday morning, as his case was continued from Saturday pending the report of the finding of a commission appointed at that time by Judge Arnold at the requet of Prosecuting Attorney E. Frank Bugbee. The commission was Drs. T. R. Parker and Louis I. Mason. Monday morning they reported that the mentality of the youth was such that it was dangerous for him to be at large; that he was not responsible for what he might do, and was not aware of the nature of his act. Dube was therefore adjudged not guilty of arson as the result of the re- port. He was then committed to the Noriwich hospital for the insane at Brewster's Neck for a period of six months, when his condition will again be _ascertained. Allan McArthur car Monday afternoon. Richard Lyman May Have Drowned While Skating on Columbia Reser- voir. Richard Lyman, aged 18 years, son of Mr. and Mrs, Willlam A. Lyman, of Columbia, has been missing from his home since Christmas afternoon, and up to a late hour Monday after- noon no clue to his whereabouts had been ascertained. It 1s believed that the young man’s body is under the ice on Columbia res. ervoir, because when last seen he was on his way home from the Curtls Holmes place, where he had just com- pleted doing the chores for the night. The young man had his skates and it is assumed that in the attempt to skate across the lake to his home on the op- TO CURE A COLD IN ONE DAY Take LAXATIVE BROMO Quinine Tab- lets.

As far as can be learned the girls and Mrs, Marshall'are the last persons to have seen young Lyman. A search- ing party was made up of men and Dboys, but every effort to locate Lyman Sunday was without result. Monday another large party was made up and was busy all day. Mon- day afternoon the party of men were engaged in dragging the channel of the reservoir for sepme trace of the body. It is feared that it may be some days before the body will be recovered, if at all, this winter. Natchaug 15, St. Joseph’s 14.

Reade, a brother, who was formerly in company with him, has been in charge of the store and has been go- ing over the accounts and books in the endeavor to aseertain how affairs stand. George K. Stiles, of the firm of Stiles & Harrington, said to be one of the principal creditors, stated Monday afternoon that no one knew what the amount of the financial embarrass- ment would be, but that it was deemed best to close the store pending an in- vestigation, that all the creditors might share alike.

METHODIST CHURCH MEMBERS Carried Yuletide Cheer and Friend| to Shut-ins n Christmas Day. The members of the Methodist Epls- | copal church were especially active this year in dispensing Christmas | cheer, and in places and to persons that are forgotten oftentimes in the abounding .opportunities for joyous- ness that come with the holiday sea- son. . All of the classes of the church share in the happiness of bringing a Christmas greetnig to less fortunate souls. The men's Baraca class visited the town farm, where an impressive serv- fce was held for the 22 inmates, Rev. R. S. Cushman officlating. Carols were sung and remembrances distrib- uted. The inmates also enjoved a | chicken dinner through the courtesy of the selectmen. The young ladies’ classes visited the old people’s home | carrying flowers. The members . of the primary class, in a vehicle deco- rated with the green garlands of the | holiday, called upon the shut-ins, and | their visits brightened the passing of | the great feast day. And. on the oth- er hand, the sacrifices that the mem- bers of the classes made were doubly repald To many of them it brought the fullest realization of the spirlt of “Peace on earth; good will to men.” A NEAR-BLIZZARD. Fourteen to Sixteen Inches of Snow in Many Places—Country Roads Blocked. ‘When the people of this section of eastern Connecticut had an opportun- ity to get a newspaper on Monday morning, for the first time since Sat- urday, and read what the near-bliz- zard had been doing in other places in New England, it was appreciated that this section of the state had all that was coming to it and a little more, This end of Windham county must have been close to the center of the demon northeaster that has played more havoc with traffic than any storm since the historical March blizzard of 1888, and the heavlest blanket of snow that has lain over this territory .in years has buried all country highways neck high in most places. Eight_inches of wet, sticky snow does not begin_ to tell the story of the storm in this section. There is nearly twice that amount and it is as fine and dry as powder and packed in drifts that bid fair to remain for many a day.

Roads are swept bare for half a mile at a stretch and choked feet deep with snow for another distance. The flying automobile has been put to the garage. The highway between Danielson and Brooklyn is a fair sample. On the flats, the macadam shows clean and clear; from the home of Charles Ennis east for a long distance the road is impassable. A wall was torn down Monday to permit vehicles to get into the fields and around this bad place. Conditions in all directions are sim- flar. In some instances the snow has wiped out all trace of the highways, and the good old-fashioned way of driving crosslots over walls and low fences is again in vogue. The climate is again changing. This cross cut method was adopted by some of the milkmen on Monday, when they made their first - deliveries since Saturday. The snow is packed so hard that dig- ging out the highways is going to be more than a passing pleasure and nor- mal conditions of travel cannot pre- vail for a week through the country sections. In town, the work of breaking out the lines of travel is much more ad- vanced. The trolley line got back to business Monday and cars were run, but off schedule. This also applies to the steam road. The tralns averaged from an hour to two hours late on Monday. until afternoon. The Providence & Danlelson line was closed about all day Monday be- cause of a blockade near the White- stone mill in Bast Killingly and no ears were run into Danlelson. The line s opem, however, between East Killingly and Providence. The sched- ule will probably be regular egain to- day (Tuesday). The telephone service has received the worst setback since the ice storm of last February and during all of Monday a single wire to Norwich, an- other to Willimantic, one to Worces- ter and two to Putnam were all that kept Danlelson in touch with the out- side world. The local service is in fairly good condition. Boston and all other points in Massachusetts outside of Worcester could not be reached. Providence is also off the list of call- ing places. The linemen were work- ing their arms and legs of to get the lines in operation again‘on Mon- day, but they have a mighty task | ahead of them and it will be days De- fore all the wires are restored. Accurate estimate of the snowfall is difficult, on account of the riotous | way in which it has drifted, but in Danfelson and vieinity the average guess s fourteen inches.

City and Environs Slowly Recovering | from Effects of Storm—Traffic Being | Resumed. | There was a concentrated and well | directed effort on Monday to break away from the grim grasp of winte and open up to rallroads and {trolley | lines. Here in Putnam there is more | snow than has been seen at any one time In the past dozen years, and to plow through it or push it aside has been a‘heavy task for the traffic lines. But the worst of the work was com- pleted Monday night. The tracks arc all clear and the trains running close to schedule time again. There w. tle attempt made to move any fre Monday, although a little was done this department.
