Story That English Sewing Company Brought Over 1,000,000 Pounds Gold. in From a paper published in a south- ern city, where he happened to be staying, Major A. D. Melntyre of this| y made a clipping telling of how a| cashier in the Bank of London, Eng- land, nearly collapsed when a. quiet appearing gentleman entered, handed a ck for a million pounds in the win- dow, and said, “All gold, please.” The money was wanted to ship to Amer-| ica on the Lusitania to meet the cost of the purchase of the Willimantic Thread company by the Eneglish Sewing com- the man who handed in the| check being a director of .t'he latter » records in this city and other in the larger Windham | s indicate that this seotion | ticpt has not ben much trou- ng 1912 with the tramp nuis- wer knights of the road have | sted hereabouts during the county t of Conne ing the last decade.

Bull Moose in North Foster, There’s supposed to be moose in the town of Foster, just over the state line in Rhode Island. Now, this isn't any joke, nor is it an introductory to an insipid yarn about the kind of moose that was put down and out in the No-: vember election. This ds the story of a real live moose that has apparently ! wandered into territory where such an animal has not been known to exist| for more than a century, and maybe a ! whole lot longer. i Several good Vorth Foster people have reported seeing the animal,among | them being Mrs, Henry Smith. She s reported to have seen it on Jerimouth' Hill, which sounds like a reasonable | place for a moose to be if he intends| Spending any length of time in this | section. | Hunters who have heard the story) and feel convinced that the people liv-| ing in a farming section know the dif- ference between a moose and a deer, | are anxious to get a shot at the animal | —for they claim there is no closed sea- | son on moose in Rhode Island and Connecticut.

The special town meeting called for Tuesday evening in the municipal building came to a surprising and abrupt ending. Judge L. H. Fuller was chosen moderator, Immediately after the #arning for the meeting had been read, Dr. Omer Larue moved that the meeting be adjourned. This was a startling proposition for a great nt ber of the nearly 500 voters present, but it was carried by a e of more than 2 to 1, 316 voting yes and 152 no. The meeting was called to see if the town would reconsider and rescind the vote passed at the annual town meeting in October, appropriating $1,000 with the understanding that the public library be moved from the court house block to the municipal building &nd also to see if the town would vote to reconsider and rescind the vote ap- propriating $3,000 for the installation of fireproof vaults in the municipal building. Another clause in the warning for the special meeting of Tuesday even- ing was to see if the town would vote the sum of $1,000 for the maintenance of the library in its present location for the year ending Aug. 31 next. The leading citizens and their fol- lowers who won their fight for the re- moval of the library at the annual town meeting were again out in force Tuesday night. Realizing they Lad the majority of votes of most of those in the meeting, they took a short cut to steam roller the opposition, putting through the motion to adjourn without going into the details of considering any of the clauses in the warning. JEWETT CITY Skeleton Believed to Be Indian’s Is Found in Sand Bank—Borough Offi- cials in Session—Book Club Starts the Season. Workmen who were digging in the McNicol sand bank east of the Textile Novelty company’s plant Monday ex- humed parts of a human skeleton. The men were in charge of First Se- lectman James H. Shea, and were get- ting out gravel to repair upper East Main street. The skull and arm bones were pretty well intact. The teeth, which were quite well worn, indicated that the | skeleton was that of a man probably | over 50 years of age, the lower bones of the body were entirely disinte- | grated, there were no nails or other evidence that the body had been in | a box. There is a hole in the back part of the skull, which indicates nothing of importance. Not in the memory of the oldest citizen was this bank ever used as a cemetery. It 1s the general belief that the body must have been placed there much more than 100 years ago, and it is likely was that of an Indian. Warden and Burgesses Meet.
