About 100 persons were served at the very excellent May breakfast glv- en in the vacant store in the Savings Bank building from 5.30 to 5 o'clock Thursday morning under the auspices of the Crusaders of the Baptist chureh. As ecarly as 525 patrons were wait- ing for the service to begin and the late comers kept the attendants busy right up to closing time.

For twenty-five cents, those who came to the breakfast found an ex- ceedingly libera( service. The menus showed bananas, apples, strawberries, a choice of several cereals, with cream, eggs done in various wavs. rolls, doughnuts, cakes and syrup and coffee. Such a breakfast at such a price would mean bankruptey for the regular restaurateur, but in this case the food was all given by those in- terested in the enterprise, so the rev- enue s all profit.

State Policeman Robert Hurley caught a firebug in the town of Wood stock Thursday forenoon. The pris- oner is Frank Olson, 21, of Woodstock and Pomfret, and he has confessed to the crime with which he is charged. Olson was captured within a short time after he had set fire to a big barn located in a wooded section in the northwest section of Pomfret and owned by M’ A. Edington. Mr, Edington has recently repaired the barn, which is on his old home place. He was driving along the road toward the property Thursday morn- ing when he spied young Olson com- ing hurriedly through the woods and as the fellow started to cross the field Mr. Edington addressed him and in- quired as to his business. Olson did not have much to say, and seemed an- xious to be getting on, according to the information that later came to the police. As_Mr. Edington approached his property he saw that the barn was all ablaze and that there was no chance to save the structure. Judge Charles O. Thompson was no- tified of what was going on and of the suspicions as to the gullty party and he immediately sent word to State Of- ficer Hurley, who Judge Thompson happened to know, was staying in Putnam. Officer Hurley secured an automo- bile and with M. R. Joy as driver in a very few minutés was hurrying in the direction of Pomfret. There was no great difficulty. in picking up Olson's trail, which led to the store at West Woodstock, where Olson was found, buying provisions. He was immedi- ately charged with the crime by Of- fice’ Hurley and soon admitted that he had set the barn afire. Olson was brought here and locked up at_the police station. While he was there he admitted to Captain Murray that he had set fire to the Bd- ington barn and that he had done 8o because “Edington had not used him right when he worked for him,” but in what manner he did not indicate. Olson also admitted to Captain Mur- ray that he had set fire to the Shields’ barn that was destroyed at West Woodstock a few weeks ago, late in March. In connection with this case Olson also set up the claim that he | had not been pald as he thought he should have been for labor in cutting weed for the owmned of the barn, although he admitted that he received as much as he agreed to work for, During the aftermeon Olsen was taken over to Pomfret and presented before Justice Walter Bryden, Judge Charles O. Thompson acting as grand juror. When the complaint, charg- ing him with burning the Edington barn, was read to the prisener, he | pleaded guilty and in default of the | ssary bonds of $1,600 required for | his release was taken to the jail at | Brooklyn. While Olson was leeked up here Captain Murray questioned him ci - | Iy relative to his pessible connection with any of the incendiary fires that | have occurred in Putnam, but the | prisoner, readily admitting the re- sponsibility for the two fires men- tioned above, stoutly demied that he had ever set a fire in this ci Olson is a husky young chap. There is considerable interest in the family in Woodstock, where they lived for a number of years before removing to Pomfret a few weeks ago, on account of the fact that the father, several | vears ago, came to this city one day, drew a large sum of momey from the bank and disappeared. He has never been heard from. He left his wife and several children in Woodstock. The Edington barn destroyed Thurs- day morning was a lerge structure, used principally for storas Mrs. Edington said Thursday _afternoon that the value of the structure, re- | cently improved, was $1,600, and that there was only & small amount of in- surance to cover the loss, which will | be a severe one for the owner ,a very | worthy man. The house on the place where the barn was destroyed was burned down about two or three years | ago, the causé of the fire being un- | known. PARK THEATRE SOLD.
