DROWNING F_ATALITV IN WILLIMANTIC RIVER Attempting to Swim with Waterwings Vingenzo Curente, 20, Lost Life When They Slipped OF. A drowning fatality resulted Sun- day afternoon in the Willimantic river in that portion known as the Eelwire just above Louis Ayres' house, when Vingenzo Curente, aged 20, who was attempting to swim with the aid of waterwings, lost their assistance by reason of their slipping from his shoulders, and going down for the third time was drowned in the deep Daol near the center of the river. Quite a large number of young men and boys were wandering around the river banks at the time and some were in swimming, but none could reach the man in time to avert the catastrophe. ‘Word was telephoned to Capt. B. H. Richmond at 2.50 o'clock and he and City Sheriff R. O. Snow when to the river with grappling irons and ropes. When they arrived at the place of the accident the unfortunate Italian had been pulled out by Napoleon D. Val- liant, who lives.on Winter street. Val- liant dove for the man for twenty minutes or more and he had been in the river some time before he arrived and tried to locate the body. It is therefore believed that the drowning occurred a little after 2 o'clock. Medical Examiner Louis 1. Mason was notified and arrived at 21 minutes to four and pronounced death due to accidental drowning. He gave orders to Funeral Directors Elmore & Shep- ard to prepare the body for burial. Curente, who has been working as a hod carrier on the mew high school building, boarded with a family at 929 Main street and had no other relatives in this city than cousins. He was to have gone back to his native country oven. s5c quailty, closing out Drice | ney?

The long continued drouth is ecut- ting down the reserve water supply and unless some.relief is soon afforded one result of the shortage will be the shortening of hours of labor in man- ufacturing plants that are in part de- pendent on water for motive power. Crops are also suffering severely. CHARGED WITH MANSLAUGHTER Robert B. Bridaes Pleaded Not Guilty and Bound Over to Superior Court —Companion in Shooting Affair Di charged. Arraigned before Judge Harry E. Pack in the town court Saturday morning on the charge of manslaugh- ter in connection with the death of Philip Loomis, Robert B. Bridges, through his guardian ad litem, an un- cle, Charles . Weeks of Attawaugan, pieaded 1ot guilty, waived examination and was tound over to the next term of the superior court having criminal jurisdiction. His bond was fixed by the court at $1,000, in default of which he was taken to the jail at Brooklyn. He will remain there until the first Tuesday in September. His companion_at the time of the sheoting, Arthur Waterhouse of Atta- waugan, also on the ice runway using a rifle, was discharged without -hav- ing charges preferred against him, as the investigation of Coroner Arthur G. Bill has satisfactorily- established that the bullet that killed Philip came from the rifle of the boy now.in jail. ‘Waterhouse went to his home with his parents. Before wJlowing him to leave the court room, however, Judge Back spoke of some pertinent facts to Ed- ward Waterhouse, father of the boy. relative to his_laxity of supervision in permitting his son to roam about the surrounding country, shooting recklessly without due regard for the safety of others. That no person is within his rights when he goes about | the fields or woods, whether the land jbe his own or anothers, shooting a death dealing weapon with criminal carelessness, was made perfectly clear by Judge Back, and requested, speaking to those in the court room, that any person who was in posses- sion of or came to know such a case, that it be made known to the prose- cuting attorney. Mr, Waterhouse said that Arthur would not again be per- mitted to use a rifle. He thought that his boy had had a severe lesson. The most sad feature of the case is, of course, bevond remedy. The hope is that it has taught a lesson to other boys and to parents that have allowed them the use of weapons, and that it will prevent the repetition of such a calamity. Being sorry does not make amends to those who must en- dure seeing a young life blotted from the family circle. Windham county too frequently is the scene of such tragedies as that of Thursday night.

Neither side scored until the eighth, when Waurezan poled out three runs, and got what looked like a safe lead, as Taftville only scored its first run in that inning.

JEWETT CITY Superintendent Waters Makes Floral Find — Two Funerals — Hard Cider Found in Lisbon—Putnam Defeated. To Frank G. Waters, perintendent of the Jewett City electric light plant, goes the credit of having discoverad both the yellow and white moth mul- lein (Verbescum Blatteria).

Mr. Waters brought in fine specimens for jdenti- fications, having found them in a field south of Slater's mill, It is spoken of by Miss Dana in her “How to Know the Wild Flowers” as a tall, slender weed on whose erect stem it would seem as though a number of canary- yellow or purplish-white moths had alighted for a moment’s rest.

Tetro led for Putnam, getting four hits, Rylander's home run was also a feature. The work of the pitchers was worthy of note, although both men wers erratic at times. O'Leary saved up his prize packages until the last and won his game with bell. The ninth was a sort of comedy of errors and kept the local fans on the anxions seat. “Jewett City. Putnam.
