PRIZES IN GOLD. & fwenty Dellars Offered by ~Mayer Dunn to Children Who Excel Work of Clean-up Week, May #-! ‘What ls Going The first meeting of the clean-up week committee, consisting of 27 res- idents of the city, appointed by Presi- dent Frank P, Fenton of the Clvic so- clety, was held Tuesday évening in the rooms of the Board of Trade, and pre- sided over by Mayor D. P. Dunn as chairman. 3 The week of May 4th to 9th, inciu- sive, was decided upon for the cam- paign, although the public is expected to start at once, and not wait until that time to do the large amount of Work necessary. Plans were discussed for the cam- paign, several sub-committees wers appointed, and there was a lengthy discussion of many ways 1o make Willimantic a cleaner and a better city. The committee was chosen in a man- ner by wards, and the members will pay especial attention to their own wards, inviting the co-operation of ev- ery man,_ woman and child in their wards. The interest in the campaign is attested by the fact that 16 m and three women attended the meet- ing, while at least one-half dozen oth- ers were prevented by absence from REMOVAL 1_have removed h{ business from 13 Jackson Place to 521 Jackson Street, ‘where 1 will pay the highest market ‘prices for Cattle, Poultry, Veal, etc. ‘Send -postal card.

Dunn announced that he would give $20 in gold to be distributed as prizes to the children enguged in the work, in any man- ner which the committee might decide, and this was left to the school com- mittee to report at a subsequent meet- ing after talking with the teachers of the city. ¥ The city officials will cooperate in the cam as will the board of trade, and the clergymen and pastors |'will be asked to help by pubMc an- ncuncement and every means in their power. Mayor Dunn will issue a proc- lamation appealing to everyone in the city to do something, if only a little, to further the worthy object. - Amonk methods and suggesiions dis cussed at the meeting, oné fact stands out pre-eminent, and that is the oity's need of a public dumping ground. Su- perintendent of Streets E. O. Sumner was requested to keep his eyes open for avallable sites and it may be that ane outcome of this agitation will be the purchase ot land for such a pur- pose, or at any rate the suggestion of such action to the city. The matter of sewer connections was thoroughly discussed also, and those Flo hbve wittiusix of unwittingly. failed to follow the ordinance in this matter, may be prodded to do their duty in some way best suited to the dccomplishment of that purpose. Another suggestion made was that photographs be taken of unsightly and unsanitary places, and published in the Ppress of the owner's took N0 Steps to remedy the conditions. Several such Dlaces were talked over, Sub Committee Named. Publicity through the press was stated to be the best way to keep the campalgn before the public, and the films of - the moving picture houses will also be used, if arrangements can b _made. A press committee to look after these two branches was select- ed, to consist of A. N. Potvin, Frank H. Foss, J. N, Gilman and J. F. Two-| mey. Railroads to Be Notified. Frank P. Fenton will see to notify- ing the New Haven and Central Ver- mont roads, requesting them to assist within the city limits, by cleaning up wherever necessary on their property. Mr. Fenton also is to request the co- operation of the clergy. The school children will be asked to help. probably by the distribution of cards in their respectivé neighbor- hoods, and in “other ways. In New Haven and other cities, they have as- sisted materially in campaigns. Mrs. John Rellly and Frank H. Foss were appointed a committee to see what can be done in this regard: Street Department to Aid. Mr. E. O. Summer, the street super- intendent, will select spots for the dumping of the refuse which may be collected, and the city will undoubt- edly carry away such refuse as may be ‘cleaned up by the children or oth- ers on vacant or unoccupied land. Théy will not, however, go into -the general business of disposing of all rubbish, for it seemed inadvisable to the committee to make such a re- quest. Beautifying Square Suggested. One suggestion which merifs consid- eration was the planting of a flower Dbed in the square between the wait- ing room at the railroad station and the street. A great deal of enthusiasm was aroused, and many valuable sugges- tlons were made at the meséting. What remains is for every resident to take a personal pride in the matter and do - Murray's Boston Store WILLIMANTIC, CONN. MEN'S FURNISHINGS Men's Balbriggan Drawers, 50c pair.

WOMAN USED BLACK-JACK, Mrs, Mable Franklin Mysteriously As- saulted by Stranger Seiling Toilet Articles, 2o | According to a story that was told | to Captain John Murray Wednesday, | which story was later substantiated | by evidence, Mrs. Mabel Franklin was | most surprisingly and viciously as- | saulted at her home on Oak street at | about 10.30 Wednesday morning by | some woman whose name is unknown | to the police, but who is described as ! a vender of toflet articles. | John J, Lavell. who lives in the | house with Mrs. Franklin, furnished the most connected story of the affair to the police Mr. Lavell said that at the hour mentioned he was in 'his home with his daughter, Mrs. Olive | Sullivan. They heard screams for help | coming from Mrs. Franklin's apart- | ment and rushed to her aid. Enter- ing, they found her Iving on the floor with an unknown woman grappling her throat. Mrs. Sulllvan in attempt- ing to pull the woman away from Mrs. against herself and was at once en- gaged gn a struggle with her, but here Mr. Ldvell rushed to his daughter's aid. He was not obliged to lay hands on the stranger, for when she realized | that & man was about to engage in | the affair she declared her willingness to quit and leave the house, if allow- ed to do o, To this Mr. Lavell made no objes- tion and the woman went out. Mr. Lavell then learned that the woman had come into Mrs. Franklin's home to delfver some articles that Mrs. Franklin had ordered a few days pre- vieus: Mr. Lavell told Captain Mur- ray that Mrs. Franklin had explained to the woman that she was sorry that she had no change to meet the charge at just that time, but if she would call around the following day she would ay her. . This seemed agreeable to ths wom. an, and she turned to leave, Mrs. Frankiin not paying any further atten- | tion to her. Suddenly, as the story s told to the police, Mrs. Franklin was telled by a blow on head from seme instrument, supposed to be blackjack. which the woman is believed to have extracted from the bag she was carry. ing. Other blows were rained upon the prostrate woman and then the un- known pounced upon her. At this stage of the affair Mrs_ Franklin's screams at(racted the attention of Mr. Lavell and his daughter. As far as uld be learned Wednesday Mrs. Franklin gave the woman absolutely no cause for assaulting her and the surprising attack was entirely unpro- voked. Learning mere of the matter Mr. Lavell saya that he set out from the Franklin_home to follow the weman. He traced her over a course of proba- Dbiy two miles through the city streets and finally came upen her. All the time he was following Mr. Lavell had an eye out for an officer, but saw nene. Ho gays that he talked with the woman and inquired why she had at- | tacked Mrs Frankiin and the weman replied that she did ot knew, but was glad that he came in as he did, for atherwise she might have killed Mrs. Franklin. 3r. Lavell says that she t0ld him that she was geing te get out | of this territory right away and travel | i Mr. Lavel as probably age. She wore a black & dark hat and a white veil. She was stout- ly_built and had a florid complexion. Dr. E. F. Perry was called to attend Mrs. Franklin and found that she had a large lump on the back of the head, a bruise at one side of the head and contusioris that indicated that she had been severely beaten.
