Colonel Gaston was at Washington | the past few days. urging certain changes in the text of the measure as it then stood and suggesting amend- | ments that, in his Dbelief, would | stréngthen it | The Gaston family was formerly of | Killingly, and only a short time ago Mr. Gaston purchased the old Gaston | homestead at South XKillingly, which “he, has caused to be restored.

He visited | several places, but, as far as could be learned, found nothing kept contrary | to_law, | Mr. Day's search commenced Mon- day night, when several places were visited and considerable excitement ! stirred up. Grocery stores, markets, | restaurants and a fruit store were among the places visited. Claude Chase of Danielson assisted Mr. Day in mak- the searches. ing At Geeson’s market on Front street | Day. This pelt, Mr. Geeson tells the local police, was from a deer shot in Maine by Herbert Greenwood of this city and shipped on here. The meat of the deer was on sale in the market this, but did not when informed of Complaints were received by the lo- cal ‘police Tuesday that undue show of authority was made in some in- stances where searches were made, but there was no inclination upon the part of the complainants to seek any official action in the matter. Others whose places were visited made no complaint as-to the manner in which the search was made, but all and all, the visit of the game protectors stirred up a buzz of talk, A local officer said Tuesday that he had talked the matter over during the day with Game Protector Day and that an understanding of the situation was reached.

It is certain that he intended to cause no alarm in ex- ercising the power of his office, desi ing only to go at his duties in a thor- -ough manner, FUNERALS James Rickard. The funeral of James Rickard, 78, was held Tuesday afternoon from his home in/ Pomfret, where he died Sun- day. Rev, George D. Stanley of this city conducted the service and burial was in Grove street cemetery. The passing of Mr. Rickard marks the end of a strange career. -He was horn in the town of Pomfret and has always lived there, one of four chil- dren who lived their lives in seclu- sion. All have now Dassed away ex- cept a brother, George, 82, who re- mains at the old homestead. : George and James were known in towns hereabouts as the Rickard boys. Tor many vears they have been re- cluses. Their home, setting close be- side the main highway between this city and Pomfret, had the appearance of being deserted. There was never a sign of life about the place. The blinds were always. jtightly = eclosed. Grass grew abundantly about the The buildings showed lack of care—of absence of life. The lit- tle farm, which would be a valuable one, was run down and “going to seed.” But the place was the home of men of money. . The Rickard brothers are to be worth as much as $150.000, and it is probably not too high an estimate. This fine fortune represents the resplt of scores of years of saving, beginning with pennies for boyhood banks and gradually increas- ing into dollars and hundred and thou- sands. As the fund grew the Rickards —there were four echildren in those days—the money' was reinvested in farm lands, in gilt edge mortgage loans and other :valuable seeurities and the returns from these invest- ! developed a golden poured addi- tional wealth into the seciuded home. Occasionally—only occasionally-—one of the brothers would visit Putpam. ments finally Purchases would be made to meet the | frugal living needs of the Rickard household and almost invariably a vis- it made to a local bank, where large sums of money, the income pof the family investments, would be depos- ited, The Rickards were good people, but did not mingle to any extent with the people of the neighborhood, preferring constant privacy, . A sister of the Rickard boys died eight years age and since that time James and George have lived on alone. Recently, within a few months, Mr, and Mrs. Frank Keach of Danielson been at the Rickard : r the men, grown fee- attend to the household and duties. Everett Hyde of Danielson. a nephew is believed to be the solé heir and will very prebably inherit the entire for- tune. to OBITUARY. Stephen Ballard. Stephen Ballard is dead at his home in Thompson, where he was born in 1841 and where he has lived all of his life, being one of the town’s best known citizens. Mr. Ballard was the son of Winthrop H. and Saloghe Bal- lard, of an old Thompson family, Mr. Ballard's education was secured in the town of Thompson and after finishing his studies he was a teacher until he was 18 years of age. Then d\e en- gaged in farming and followed it as a life pursuit.© For ~ 25 consecutive Ballard was a member of the town school committee and ren- dered during his life time other val- uable service of .a public nature to Thompson, which he represented as a member of the legislature in 1873. Mr. Ballard’s wife was Miss Sarah D. Barber, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wil- liam Barber. Seven children born of their union, Newton A. of this city, ‘Alice, Ella,, Laura G., Bertha, Winthrop and one that died years ago. Magazine Man Visited Putnam. Putnam people who have read of the worries of Willimantic people relative to getting magazines that they sub- scribed for from a nice voung man. who represented himself as earning money to pay for a college education, are wondering if they will get the magazine. A young man who told the same kind of a story that was told to ‘Willimantic people has been securing subscriptions here, collecting 49 cents in each case. Thrown from Carriage. While in Thompson, where they had been deing some work, Vincent Mc- Avoy and Wilfred Gilbert of this city were thrown from the carriage in which they were riding when their horse became frightened at a stone crusher. Both young men were run over by the wheels of their carriage, which was somewhat damaged in the accident, but they. escaped without se- | rious injury. After righting the car- riage they drove back to Putinam. It may not seem possible to those who believe in signs, omens, etc., but Mr. McAvoy found a horseshoe in_ the road | and picked it up for good luck just before the accident happened. Ishca- worry!
