The selectmen of Killingly have is-! sued a warning for a special town i meeting on Saturday, December 27, for the purpose of allowing the voters to take action relative to making an ap- propriation for building fire escapes on the school buildings at Dayville, fand Attawaugan. The meeting is called at the request of the town school committee. There came a break Thursday, when there was no session, in the daily sitting of the town court, which has been very busy for the past few weeks. Not only Danielson, but the surround- ing villages have coniributed prison- ers. The following item appeared on Thursday in the Central Falls, R. I, correspondence to a Providence paper: Harold Horace Bigelow, Worcester, Mess.,, and Miss Ruth FWances Bur- roughs, Danielson, Conn., have filed their marriage intentions at the office of the city clerk. Mrs, F. P. Warren and son, Ernpest Ross Warren are to go to Knoxville, Tenn., to be guests of friends for the Christmas holidays. They will re- turn about the first of the year. To Watch Old Year Out. | Plans are being made for a union watch night service of a progressive order, with services at different hours| during the evening in the various| churches under whose auspices tha| plans are being matured. R RS 5 P LADRA BOUSHEY LOCATED. Miesing Girl Seen in Southbridge, Mass.,, by Danielson Visitor. Miss Laura Boushey, 15, who dis- appeared Tuesday, December 2 leav- ing the mill at Eimville where she| was employed at the lunch hour, has been located in Southbridge, according %o advices received here Thursday, when the girl's mother left for the Massachusetts town to bring home her daughter. Word that the girl was in Southbridge was received here from $red Shippee of this town, who is visiting relatives in Southbridge. He had read of the girl's disappearance and., knowing her by sight, lost no time in getting information of her whereabouts to Chief George M. Pill- ing, who mnotified her mother. The reasons for the going away of the girl and _her experience since she Lefl are meMNers yet to be learned of ere., Letters to Kris Kingle. Mail for Santa.Claus 1s being found these days by the clerks in the local postoffice. The Christmas saint is be- ing bombarded with requests for gifts by the trusting little people who know that SBanta Clause is a real being and that he is unusually very considerate, of the good children that ask favors of | bhim at this particular time of the vear. There is the usual line of re- | quests for dolls, toys, sleds, et ete. That active and imaginative brains are possessed by some of Kris Krin- gle’s little correspondents is plainly demonstrated in the letters; also there| are yvarious clues, hidden between the lines, indicating characteristics of the child writers. Expentancy, gratitude —offered in advance—lack of thej same, modesty, bluntness, good nature | and even selfishness are well revealed | in_the missives of the various writers. While it may seem hardly fair to pick one particular letter from those mailed here for Banta Claus to indicate | the extent of the service Santa is ex- pected to render the one in mind is the best example. The modest little writer wants a sled, equipped with auto steering wheel and electric lights! Also a touring car, electric- ally lighted. She wants one doll that can open and shut its eyes and another that can be made to cry, probably to keeping the one awake that has the ability to simulate;sleep. These are chief items in the list enumerated, but not evervthing called for. 8anta gasped when he opened that letter but there -were plenty of smales for him in the others and he is golng to do the best he can to make Christmas happy for all his Mttle ones. | PUBLIC CHRISTMAS TREE, Becided on For C‘}E;tmu Bavis Park. Arrange ments were completed on Thureday for what should prove to be & very pretty feature of the Christ- mas observance in Danielson. Tt has been decided to carry out- the plan Eve en adopted in some cities of Connecticut for having a munlcipal Christmas tree, only here a modified arrangement ‘has been made, and to have a chorus sing Christmas carols on the eve of the great holiday. A monster Christmas tree is to be set up on Davis park. The tree will be decorated and illuminated with probably 200 electric lights and made the center of a night picture that will be a decided novelty for Danlelson. At 7.30 members of the choral union and other singers of the borough, united in a big and joyous chorus, will gather at the park and about the glittering tree and sing a number of the favorite Christmas carols. The carols to be sung will be distributed in printed form to those who sing. Between the present time and next ‘Wednesday evening the committee in charge of the matter will give much attention to the details to be consider- ed. 3 Close of School Term.

Sherlock Holmes did not unrayel the mystery, but it is‘unraveled just the same—that mystery about the tery” horse—and this morning the an- imal is back eating hay little stall. No one stole her, no one even abducted her. They just took her away and left her at a blacksmith shop and then proceeded to forget all about her. This happened last Friday morning. Friday night, after waiting for the “stranger” who brought her in to come and claim her, they tooi | the mare down to Joy’s stable and left her for safe keeping. Up to Tuesday no trace of the owner could be found and an appeal to the police to help was made. Then came the newspapermen, and wide publicity was given the story. Still no owner and no trace of one. Nothing doing aill day MWednesday. Thursday morning at 6 o'clock the plot M. R. Joy. owner of the stable where the mystery horse has been kept, ,was awakened b; the ringing of his telephone and, an- swering, he listened to a man down in Arctic, R. I, telling him that the horse in question had been stolen from the Rhode Island town last spring. In describing the mare the Rhode Islander said she was black and he was not at all feazed when informed that the horse here was a bay, explaining thac horses are apt to change color from the summer to winter. He was coming up to get the horse, so he sald. The man who invented the phrase “Can you beat it?”-should-have been around late Thursday _afternoorn, though, when the whole difficult prob lem of establishing the o rship of the horse worked itself out, like water running through a sieve. It developed at that time that the horse is owned right here ir Putnam, one of several horses kept by an owner who has.use for them. This horse was taken out to be shod Friday morning, but in some unaccountable way was not missed until Thursday afternoon, as it had not been needed for service, as it happened. The mare was taken back home and everybody is happy. _ Foresters’ Officers. These are the newly elected officers Chief ranger, A. sub-chief ranger, William financial secretary, T. P.
