Bellsfontaine, Tattooed Mar, in Town —Judge Fuller to Stop Liquor Selling to Blacklisted Men. What may be the first evidence ina riurder mystery or no more than the cvidence of the unfortunate ending of & life of greater or lesses value came to lisht Friday in the fo a skele- ton of .a man found in & ly spot in the woods in the town of Pomfret, back of the Bruce farm, near Bark Meadow brook. Thomas Baker and hi grandson, Randall Baker, out for a day in the woods, made the gruesome find. The men are both residents of Pom- fret. A report of the matter was made to the selectmen of the town and later an investigation was Dr. S. B Overlock, Pomfre; viewing the r mains. An examination of the skeleton indi- cates that it was of a man of medium Lelght; the teeth show that he was probably of middle age; but there was rothing to show who he was or how he came to die in such a secluded, out of the way place. A solitary nickel and the vlece of a plug of tobacco was were found ex: shreds and rem- nants of clothing. plece of cloth- ing ehowed that the man was dressed in what was probably a brown coat and a black and whife shirt. A pair of overalls were hanging on a tree near by. It was the opinion of Dr. Overlock that what remained of the man had ieln where it was found for probably a vear and a half. A iittle hair clung {o the grinning skull, but nearly every shred of -flesh had disappeared from the bieaching bones. Several wers advanced Fri éfln man might have died, biit nome contain a clus result and outcome of some fatal row that may have occurred in the isolated country where they were housed and alone at night. As a general rule, men who live and are well known in a neighborhood do not drop out of sight without someone knowing the whys and wherefores, but no man has so disappeared in that manner hereabouts since this man must have died. It is not probable that the loss of a man from a gang of Italian lzborers would attract much attention. What is but the framework of a man today may have possibly be- Icnged to one of the itinerant weavers that are so numerous in this section, and so irresponsible, but there were no implements of the mill worker about the bones found. As complete an investigation as is ossible will be made by Coroner A. G. Bill, put there is littie to aid him in cstablishing the man’s identlity. HUMAN PICTURE GALLERY. Frank A. Bellefontaine Has 136 Views Tattooed Upon Him. Putnam, though few kmow of the fact, has a man who carries on his body one of the most remarkable ex- emples of skilgul tattooing to be found in America today. This man is Frank A. Bellefontaine, 36, porter at the Put- nam inn, who came here to work only a few weeks ago. Not a needls. prick shows on the parts of his body visible when he 15 In his street clothes; never- theless he is covered from his neck to the very soles of his feet with some of the most artistic and ingenuously exe- cuted designs ever tattooed on a hu- man body. Beginning just under his coHar, a Dboa comsirictor five feet six and one- Lalt inches in length coils sinuously about him. Beneath this is a breast- wide reproduction of the coat of arms of the United States navy, and on his stomach a fine “etching” of the famous Ibattle of Trafalgar. His back is given over to a scene showing the battle of Santlago, this reproduced from an engraving by spe- clal permission of a noted publisher. An_American flag, as a belt, encir- cies Mr. Bellefontaine’s waist. On his left thigh 1s shown a Roman chariot race, and on the right thigh the} well known Pharoah’s horses. His right arm shows the crueifixion of Christ. his left arm Rock of Ages. In all 186 different scenes and designs are tattooed on his body.

Roderick Miller, up as a _habitual drunkard, got six months in jail when rresented before Judge L. H. Fuller in the city court Friday. Miller got a similar dose a short time ago.

That old ramshackle of a bullding that has disgmaced Main street for m~ny years, and brought into more | viominence than ever by the erection of fine buildings in the vicinity, is doomed to/ destruction. The court of common council has ordered its Te- moval, the order to be obeyed on or before the 15th day of next February. The trouble in this case has been oo many owners, for there are six of them and the property came to them by in- heritance, and the aim seemed to be revenue without outlay, and the result has been graduval and sure deprecia- tion of the building until it finally reached a stage that was beyond re- pair. This particular bullding was old and shaky when the oldest inhab- itant of today was a small boy, and has been an eyesore almost sincé Lee surrendered. It is expected that this order will be complied with by the owners, and it not, the demclition will be done under. tive of the city and at the expense of the owners, for that ancient wooden structure that has long since become a nuisance must surely go. There has been one occasion within the memory of the present gemeration when heroic measures were taken to rid the city of an unsightly building by declaring it a nuisance. Tbe building stood on the corner of Bank and State streets, and the owner declined to remove the bullding, claiming that the structure Was worth the repairing, although’ it had been practically destroyed by fire. The owner was obstinate and the city authorities determined. So one bright and crisp Monday morning, when the flelds were afrost, Street Commission- er John Brown and a gang of men commenced to raze what was left of the old wooden house. Before the sun began to shine the structure was lev- eled to the ground and the teams wer: busied crating the madterial to the old city storage lot mear the gas house, where is was carefully piled for the owner to come and take away, if he felt so inclined. As a result a hand- #ome building is now on that des able site and the entire vicinity is im- proved by the change. The testimoni to Mayor from his fellow townsmen as a token of _appreciation of the great services rendered, was presented to him, as it was raised, without ostentation. The testimonial consisted of a beautifully engrossed set of resolutions that were adopted at a public meeting of citizens several months ago, and a check for $5,220. The presentation was made on Tuesday of the present week by George S. Palmer, 1epresenting ‘he commit; on the testimonial. - The carriers will malke the morning | had delivery and collection.

Besides these, he is ferreting out in- !cldents connected with certain crimes {of recent commission that will result !in’ the recovery of stolen goods n some cases and the arrest of oftenders in others. He should not be expected to do more than is expected from the entire police force and the ordinary detective force as well, for, be it re- membered, ho 1s only one Luman being and must eat, sleep and rest occasion- ally just as the rest of the human herd. Detective Ben is the right man in the right place and the public should | not expect the superhuman from this newly created office.
