HORSE SHIPFED TO TENNESSEE lDid Not Eat or Drink for a Month, Yet Arrived in Good Con: n. l George H. Call hags received a letter | containing the _information thai a horse which he shipped from Danielson | four weeks ago to Manchester, Tenn., | has arriv at that far off point in good condition. What may be consid- ered a remarkable feature in connec- tion with the sending of the horse by | freight is-that in the month that it was in transit it did not get an ounce of food or a single drink of water, be- | ing sent without a man in charge; but| in spite of these facts the horse arriv- | ed in Tennessee without having lost a single pound in weight and apparently none the worse for such an experience. | Incidentally, and for any doubtfol | | reader’s benefit, it may be mentioned | that this horse was a display horse, ! made of papier mache, the beautiful| dapple gray model that has been in| Mr. Call's store for several years pre- vious to his going out of business. So it is possible for a horse to ex‘st with- | out food or drink for a month, if he be the right kind of & horse. This horse ! lin question was considerable valuable, too, and was pold through an adver- tisement in a trade paper. Busy Up at Williams¥ille. These are busy davs up at the mill | in Willlameville which recently was taken over by the Killingly Manufac- turing company, Floors and beams that have stood the wear and tear of years of service are heing pulled out to make way for replacements that will ‘be required for the heavy new types of machinery that is going in to re- | place that which hus been removed. | The interisr of the mill is ulso recefv- |img & general reneovation, including painting, Supl, Bw- | round affair, at 130 pounds, is to o weeks would force 2 m donment of the work. “rfl m-ch to be done to the old mill, however. and this will be put in -h.pe, equipped and started as soon is possible. It is not probable that dle entire plant as planned will be completed and in operation much before the late sum- mer of next year, but when it does get going it will be about double its previ- ous size, there having been only 648 looms there. SRSt LT STILL DOING BUSINESS. Warned Liquor Dealers Disregard No- tice of Prosecuting Attorney. There were no developments Tues- day in the matter of the Central house and Amadee Bernier , Furnace street, being served with notic®s by Prose- cuting Attorney Arthur G. Bill that they will be held responsible for any liguor business they may do. The places were said to be doing business as usual. These dealers have a license each signed by the county commis- sioners, and evidently are proceeding on the faith that the licenses are valid. EATING CATS. Brooklyn Pets Disappear, to Reappear in Laborers’ Stewpots. How do you Ukt your cats—roasted, | ¢ fried, en cssserole, fricaseed or in you lap? Or don't you like them at all? These questions all lead up to the reproducticn of a story, on the author- ity of a veracious citizen of Brooklyn, that a gang of foreign laborers, im- ported to do some construction work in that vieinity, are doing with family catd what some tribes of the Filipino people make a practice of doing with such dogd as fall into their hands— eating them. Cats are not very rare or valuable animals, but some people like them, and those who do over Brooklyn way will be wise to keep close tabs on them for the time being. The Brooklyn man stated Tuesday as a faét that these laborers are catching and eating the cats, which is interesting if not appe- tizing information. And further, that one of thesg laborers invited a casual visitor to the shack where the men | live to have some of a stew that he had just made, offering the visitor a leg, which was accepted. Inquiry as to its being a piece of rabbit brought forth this startling reply: “Rabbit! No, cat: we catch him 'round here.” One Brooklyn man who owned three cats has had them stolen, and the in- formation is that a considerable num- ber have hflon taken tor food.
