NORWICH BULLETIN, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1914 - Amnouncing the Arrival of Fall Clothing At The Manhattan Today the season of Fall opens with a grand showing of Men’s Clothing at the Man- hattan. ; In our: judgment, these clothes sur- pass anything ever displayed in our store— which means' that Norwich has never seen ttheir equal. ‘Materials are a trifle heavier than the fab- rics of Summer, but they are every bit as soft, as pliable and as susceptible to skilled tailoring. FALL SUITS $15 $18 $20 $22° §25 Glen Urquhart and Tartan Plaids are fav- .ored patterns. Dark worsteds, finished and and pin, needle and chalk stripes are also part of our enormous range. Every man in or near Norwich who cares the least bit about how he dresses should see itely styled clothing. We do not have to talk of prices.

Children’s coats this season are un- usually attractive. They are developed in chinchilla, zibeline, astrachan, tweeds and fancy mixtures. Among the offerings are some exceedingly nat- ty cape coats. For juniors, come smart sport coats, college coats and some military cape effects that please all who see them. The grown-ups can find some of the most elegant coat designs in brocaded velours, broadcloth, gabardine and other favored weaves, with collars of Bulletin building verified the informa tion. An unusually bright star was seen in the heavens and it appeared to be the only star in that section of the sky. Its light gradually grew dimmer and the star itself receded to a mere point, then completely disappeared for a short space of time, only to reap- pear as bright as before. This in itself is not unusual, as the disappearance might have been due to a haze in that vicinity; but what did attract the ob- servers’ notice was that the star ac tually moved in two different direc- tions. At one time it dropped a dis- tance of several degrees and then moved to one side quite perceptibly. Ten minutes later, when the observer looked again, it had disappeared from the sky. This also seems to be un- usual, as the earth’s rotation would not have ordinarily been great enough to have caused the star to drop down behind the buildings in that little while as it was some degrees about the build- ing tops and quite a little distance to the south of the nearest building. and there didn’t appear to be any clouds in that section of the sky at the time.

If hehad not been wearing a heavy over- coat and had -a blanket- wound about him he would have had some bones broken as a tin of tobacco in his pocket was flattened by the impact. Over 90 quarts of milk were spilled, 50 bottles were broken and the wagon was damaged. ~The horse was torn loose from’the harness and ran away. The auto, which contained three men, had to back out of the wreckage and at Mr, Frink's suggestion they allowed him to ride on the running board until he was able to head the horse off. They stopped at the Bean Hill church and Mr. Frink got off to find ‘traces' of ‘the animal. When Mr. Frink alighted: the' chaufféur threw: on full speed and dashed away in the darkpess. Mr. Frink tried to get their number. but as they had no tail lights he couldn’t read it. They had no lights whatever and did not blow their horn before-they struck the milk wag- on, it is claimed. G Mr. Frink walked down as far as Ad#ms’ tavern, where he found his horse standing. Milton Beckwith, who drives the auto delivery truck for Mr. Avery, fitted Mr. Frink out with the necessary milk, a wagon was borrowed from Jacob Hafner, harness was se- cured and Mr. Frink continued on his way to supgrly his customers, Avery has offered a_cash reward for any information leading to ‘the iden- tification_vf the men who were in charge of the automobile and who act- ed in such a mean and guilty mannek.
