SEDGWICK POST BANNER MISSING FROM MEMORIAL Grand Army Men Hope to Have It Restored in Time for Parade—Me- morial Day Plans. . The big silk banner of Sedgwick post, No. 1, G. A. R, which every Memorial day afternoon floats proudly in front of the vets' ranks, is missing from its favorite resting place, the war office, at Buckingham Memorial and cannot be found, despite the rig- orous search made by the post officials, Who have looked into every room and cubby hole in the building. We've searched the building from top to bot- tom, said a post officlal on Friday evening, and all that has been found is the lower half of the staff. What has become of the flag is a deep mys- tery and unless it is solved before parade time Monday _afternoon the vets will have to look elsewhers for a banner, It is not believed that anyone has stolen the flag, but rather that some- one has borrowed it for decorative purposes and forgotten to return it. The flag has the Inscription Sedgwick Post, No, 1, G. A. R, and is_quite valuable.' 1i is sincerely haped that Wwhoever has the flag will return it to Buckingham Memorial in time for the Memorial day parade. As announced several weeks ago, the veterans will depart from their custom of marching in the ranks and will ride in_automobiles, this being possible through the generosity of the patriotic sons of Norwich. The parade will form in line in front of Buckingham Memorial and will move promptly at 2 o'clock, in charge of Chief Marshal Col. Charles W. Gale, who will be as- sisted by Leonard O. Smith, J. Henry Shannon, Arthur D, Lathrop, Caspar K. Bailey, Frank T. Maples and Otto F. Ernst. The procession will be made up as follows: Platoon of Police. Chief Marshal Col. Charles W, Gale, and Aides.

Town - Officials, The line of march will be through Main street, through Washington street to Williams avenue to a point in front of the residence of Rev. S. H. Howe, D. D., where a turn to the left and approach will be made onto Chel- sea Parade, the military companles leading the way, directly to the mon- Tubbs’ con- Sons ument, where the exercises will be conducted. The order of exercises will be as follows: Prayer by Acting Chaplain Orrin M. Price. Selection by band. Reading of orders. Gettysburg Address, George, Reading of obituary record. Decorating the monument—FProfessor George. by Comrade Memorial Address — Congressman Richard P. Freeman. Singing of America. Taps. The exercises will be concluded by a review and dress parade by Coast artillery. After the exercises the parade will return to Buckingham Memorial, when_the disbanding will take place. The Woman's Relief corps will serve refreshments to the post members and their invited guests in the Memorial. Regarding the flowers for the graves, those residing in the city south of Greeneville, may leave their flowers at Buckingham Memorial, while those re- siding in Greeneville may leave flow- ers at the Greeneville schoolhouse. The Norwich Town people may leave their flowers at the chapel up town, where they will be cared for by the Boy Scouts, who will take them to Chelsea Parade Monday morning, before 10 o'clock where they will be used for decorative purnposes.

SET MIRROR TRAP WHICH SHOWED THIEF. Light Fingered One Was Revealed As He Lifted Umbrella. A well known local character who is apparently getting ready for a “rainy day” has within the past few days ap- propriated three umbrellas from a repair shop on _ Franklin square. In addition to the umbrel- las he got a suction cleaner and also got away. It is thought that his present address is Fishers Island where he took refuge after his thefts were discovered. The proprietor of the repair shop missed two umbrei- las from his rack and then he set a trap for the thief and the trap worked to perfection. His workbench is op- posite the entrance and he works with his back to the door. By placing a looking glass in front him he was able to watch the entrance and by this means _discovered who the intruder was. He allowed him to take the third umbrella_and meeting him later on the street demanded return of the three umbrellas which the thief prom- ised. The thief then went after the umbrellas and failed to return. It was also disrovered that he had made away with a_suction cleaner which had been left in the repair shop Dby the agent.
