Puts on Night Force. The Killingly Manufacturing comuany at Williamsville, where Agent Hobert ‘W. Boys is in charge, started the new year by putting on a night force of workers, and henceforth the plant is to be run practically 24 hours a day. This concern is engaged exclusively in manufacturing automobile tire duck for the Goodyear Tire and Rubber com- pany, which owns the mill property, and on Wednesday a shipment of a solid carload of the duck, approximate- 1y 20,000 yards,was sent out from Day- vifle to the tire factory in Akron, Ohio. Advices received from Akron are to the effect that the product that has bheen received there from the Wil- liamsyille mill is the finest ever re- celved at the factory. The miil at Wililamsville is speclal- izing on one particular style and weight of duck and is making a tre- mendous success. All of the looms in the plant are running and more looms are to be added in the near future. LOST HIS $480. Antonio Mazzarelli Had Bad Luck Watching Old Year Out. Antonio Mazzarelll, a resident of the borough and keeper of a lodging house, reported to Chief George H. Pilling that his New Year's day was not as happy as it might have been—that he had lost a bill purse containing $430 while he was out watching the old vear out and the new year in. Accord- ing to Mazzarelll’s story heé came up- town Wednesday evening to while away the last hours of the passing vear. He says that he went to a sa- loon and had a few glasses of beer, and admits that when he paid for one round of drinks he showed the big sum of money that he lost, and which he was carrying in a long bill purse in a hip pocket of his trousers. Maz- zarelli is quite certain that he did not i-se the monev In_the saloon, although he does not know just when or how it #d depart from his possession, but he mentions with particular emphasis that he went out of the place where he had been having the beer with a man who lives here, but with whom he is not aequainted. He was looking for 31: chum of the night before on Thurs- 7. Mazzarelli told his story of the af- fair through an interpreter. He speaks only a little Firglish, although he is fluent in the French language, having iived in France for a number of years. He reports that the lost money was made up of three $100 bills, two $50 bflls, and other paper money of smaller denominations—fives. ten and twen- ties. He. explains his having the $100 bills by relating that he has a fond- ness for the vellow backs with the big figures and gets one every time he ac- cymnlates a sufficient amount of smaller bills to corral a century note. . 19 SUDDEN DEATHS.

A man about vears of age, but whose jdentity had not been estab- lished up to 6 o'clock Thursday even- ing, was picked up by Captain John Murray on the highway below the E. M. Wheaton farm about mid-afternoon The ‘man was apparently unconscious | and could not be aroused, even after | he had been attended at the police | station by Dr. E. F. Perry, though the | treatment given him induced some vomiting. | Attention of the police was first brought to the man when a telepnone message was received from the Wheaton farm. Members of the Wheaton family had seen the man pass the house and later fall. They very kindly went out and covered him | with a blanket and garment that he might be protected from the bitter cold until the police automobile ar- rived. It was apparent to the officials that the man had been drinking, but he may also have been taken seriously fll." He was dressed well and appar- ently a laboring man, but nothing found in his pockets helped toward | establishing his identity.
