No per- “on, so far as is known, is missing from the -vicinity. One theory is that some wayirer may have taken shelter from the storm in the harn and that he was killed by the bolt of lightning that set the barn afire and which struck the barn.not & great distance from where the ' Fones Were found. It the bones are those of a human being, it is also possible theorectically that they may have been those of some person who met death mysteriously many years ago and that they have Stice lain_there. This, however, is To more thian one of many conjectures ndvanced to explain if possible how the bones came to be there. Again the bones may be those of an animal, but the heat of the fire was so terrific «s to reduce the bones to such a state as to make it impossible for anyone but an anatomist to properly classify them. Coroner Bill did not find a skull, but somo of the bones looks as if they might have come from a human leg. A number of bones are in the collec- tion taken, some small, some large. Mr. Bill will submit the bones for an ex- amination. ENTRY DAY, Getting Ready For Brooklyn Fair— Rain Did Not Damage Track. * . Windham County Fair officials were not all diepleased because the heavy rain storm of Tuesday was not a day iate to cut in upon the first big day of the sixty-fifth exhibition at Brook- Iyn. Tuesdsy was entry day at the fair and a very busy-one for the ocials. There was the usual rush of entries and the usual hustle of whipping the fair into shape for the two big days to_tollow. The rain iuterferred with the com- fort of those who were obliged to be out on the grounds some of the time and with those who had to bring en- terprises to.the fain, but they did their work and" the big show will be all ready this morning. Tuesday night, when practically all of the exhibits were in place, the fair zave evidence that it is going to be all that the management has claimed for it. Every department has'a great deal of interest. Everything about the fair is clean. It is a good old- fashioned fgif living up to the best traditions 9t all that a cattle show should be. ' Horses for the speed classes have been arriving at the fair grounds since Sunday andthere is now a good list on the grounds to face the starter this afternoon. ~ The rain of Tuesday was not sufficient to spoil the track for trotting, but.it did give it a good wet- ting down and the wind of the late afternoon -dried it out considerably. It should be in good condition for the events of the afternoon. Suffffrage ‘Workers Campaigning Other States.

Cruttenden Endorasd for Vice President of State Cham. ber of Commerce. : There was a gathering here Tues- day of 19 representatives of all.the towns in the Eastern Connecticut De- velopment comimittée at the first fall sessiop of the orgamizatioh. A lunch was served in the Putnam Inn soon after the arrival of the 10.30 train from the south and west. An automo- bile trip through surrounding towns had to be cancelled on account of the heavy rain, the party proceeding to the Putnam Country club by trolley for their businei s Stselon. ‘ongressman Richard P. Freeman of New London addressed the gather- ing on the Seamen’s bill, but did na g0 into the subject at length, on ac- count of being asked to speak unex- pectedly on the subject. He told of some of the oBjections to some fea- tures of the measure and of the changes that may be required to make it _more satisfactory. The meeting passed a resolution en- dorsing President Joseph T. Crutten- den of the committee as a candidate for vice president of the Connecti- cut Chamber of Commerce. At a later meeting of the coi t tee, Congressman Freeman is to heard again and Frank A. Munsey of New London is to be invited to ad- dress the organization on the subject of having a summer capital for the president in Eastern Connecticut. Lunch was served at the clubhouse at 4 o'clock.

Pleads Guilty to Two .Charges of Breaking and Entering. guilty to breaking and entering Smith's cafe and E. L. Kelley’s place of business on Pomfret street, when arraigned before Judge M. H. Gelssler In the city court Tuesday morning and was bound over to await trial at the superior court. In default of bonds of $500 he was taken to jail. Dupre was associated with Napo- leon Lacreix in the breaks and when Lacroix was in the superior court a few days ago to answer to his part in the affair, it was stated to the court that Lacroix was not the. ringleader but more of an accompiice of Dupre’s. Dupre left town when he heard the B states granting equal suffrage rights to women, but as well in helping other states to get into that list. There never was a time when so many Connecticut Suffragists ‘were out of the state working for the cause of votes for women four great campairn New York, achusstts appealed to not beery in Miss Emily nd 2iss Alvse Gregory have been in New Jersey all summer.

To the northward, led by Miss Rosamond Danielson, much work is going into Massachusetts, and speakers and oth- er aid have been sent to Pennsylvania. In spite of this diversion of energy, there never was a time when there was more steady and faithful work going on right here in Connecticut, The local league was taking charge of the fairs in the various towns. Speak- ers are being heard before the granges all over the state. New leagues are being - organized and older leagues are | increasing their membership, and the jold truth which was long ago discov- ered by the churches has again been demonstrated, that the more the amount and the better the quallty of the missionary work, the more vivid and fruitful the life at home.

If a loan should be limited to war muni- tions and supplies the country banks in the west would take little or no in- terest in it, and it would undouutedly prove to be very unpopular in the western section of the country. If, on the other hand, the logn, in’ addition to covering credits for war munitions and supplies, shall cover the country's exportable foodstuffs and provisions, there is every indication that the western banks, even in_ the smallest will give it their heartiest sup- police were on his trail, immediatgly after the breaks, and was located only this week in Blackstone, Mass. Tried to Wreck Boat Train. It became known here Tuesday, fol- lowing the arrest of Frank Liberty, 19, at Oxford, Mass., that an attempt was made to wreck the New London boat train near Oxford Sunday night. A large stone placed on the track was struck by the locomotive and tie pilot was smashed, but the train was not deratled. It was stated here Tuesday afternoon that Liberty has admitted knowledge of the affair. The youth was recently released on probation from the Lyman school in the Bay state. PAINE GIVEN 18 MONTHS. But Court Clips Sentence to One Year —Implicates Another Young Man. In the city court Tuesday morn- ing John Paine, arrested in Hartford a few davs ago and brought back to this city, pleaded guiity to threc counts charging the theft of autom bile tires from the Joy garage in tl city and to one count charging e bezzlement of $16.50 from M. R. Joy. Judge Geisslor sentenced Paine to serve four months on each of the three counts charging larceny, and to six months on the count charging em- bezzlement, a total of 18 months. Exe- cution of sentence was suspended on the embezziement count, however, so Palne will serve only a year of the sentence. He was taken to jail dur- ing_tMe morning. The embezzlement charge was based on his having coilected $16.50 duc Mr. Joy and failing to turn it over. As the result of confessions made by Paine, Arthur Robitaille, connected | with another garage in the city, was arrested cn a charge of havinz re- ceived stclen goods. He denies abso- ey complicity in the affair. He wus not put to plea when presented in the city court Tuesday morning, the case being continued until Satur- day morning. Mr. Robitaille will be represented by Ernest C. Morse as counsel. It is understood that Paine’s revela- tions to the police includes a list of articles which he stole from the Joy garage and claims to have disposed of to differcat persons. His statements are under investigation. KENEHAN CASE NOLLED. State Fails to Make Out Case Against Providence Motorcyclist ~Charged with Manslaughter. ,In the superior court here early Tuesday afternoon there was an abrupt ending of the case of the state vs. Albert J. Kenehan, 21, of Provi- dence, charged with manslaughter in konas at Danielson in a motoreycle accident on the morning of last Me- morial day. State Attorney Charles E. Searls nolled the case, explaining to the court at length his reasons for so doing. The case was begun beforc | Judge James H. Webb on Thursday of last week, an adjournment being {aken from then until Tuesday morn- ng. The state resumed the laying in of evidence at the opening of court Tues- day morning and concluded its side of the casc soon after noon. At this point the jury was temporarily dis- Miss Mame Dunn was the guest on and Mrs. Martin Shedd, formerly of Francis A. Wentworth of Lowell was A number of Danidison people were missed, ~Attorney Cosgrove, = chief counsel for the defendant, then mak- ing a_ motion that the court direct a verdict of acquittal, or not guilty on the ground that the state had fail- ed to make out a prima facie case against Kenehan. It does not seem, said Mr. Cosgrove, that the state has made out or estab- lished that there is a warrant to hold Kenehan for manslaughter, nor has there been any evidence submitted that Kenehan was violating a law of the state. There is no evidence of Culpabie evidence on Kenehan’s part. ‘Whether rightly or wrongly, legally or illegally, there was a general un- derstanding that gaces were to be held on that part of'the highway on the morning of the nccident, continued Mr. Cosgrove, and having that in mind it is presumed the people would ex- ercise more than ordinary caution. This fact would aleo have its effect on Kenahan's state of mind, although it is not admitted thereby thathe was driving recklessly at high speed or without caution. He could not be charged with any get-in-my-path-at- your-own-peril attitude. Races were to be held and he was in'a measure Jjustified in believing that people would exercise extra care in crossing the highway. There had been no testi- mony, Mr. Cosgrove said, that Kene- han had been driving at a specific hign rate of speed. Some people say that 20 miles is high, others say 30, more 50 and still others fix 60 miles per hour as a high rate of speed. It weas not proved by the evidence that causing the death of Vasiles T. Tsa- | Kenehan rode as much as a distance of one-eighth of a mile at a speed as high as 25 miles per hour. Mr. Searls said the state had no desire to convict an innocent man, neither did the state claim that the defendant had intended to kill the child. The case, he said, stands on the naked proposition as to whether Kenehan was exercising due care and caution in accordance with the cir- cumstances surrounding the particu- lar case. The state did not claim that Kenehan was engaged in an unlawful act when the occident occurred. The state did claim that Kenehan was rid- ing recklessly under the circumstances —considering the highway, number of people in the vicinity, etc, and that, therefore, he was guilty of culpable negligence. At this point a recess of an hour was daclered. Immediately court opened after the recess, Attorney Coserove, who was associated in the defense with Judge W. F. Woodward of Danlelson, with- drew his motion asking the court to direct a verdict of not gullty. Thereunon Mr. Searl: the defens open o able to Introd what the: 1 vinced - held the tr that he would state and minist ther with tae c: fore, recommend which action w a0 an In his ccmment, that he feit the state attorney had been fied brinzing ih~ case that all of the defense with Judze ¥ ard and as- ured him that he would be welcomed whenever circumstance might call him from Rhode Island to appear befcre the bar of Windham county. Court adjourned until this morning at 10.30. COUNTY AGENT'S REPORT. Seventy-twe Farm Visits Made and 127 Letters Written During August. County Agent W. C.

Poultry lec tures and demonstrations were af tended, and one day was given to co ferences with the heads of the various departments of the college, including a trip over the college farm, and a visit to the Experiment station plots. During these four days oocurred the worst storm of the season, which blew over, twisted and beat down the corn and ‘grain_crops. The crops suffered severely, but recovered considerably more than most of us expected. During August I have made 72 farm visits and written 127 letters: 33 have telephoned and 53 have visited the office in Putnam. I have spoken at six meetings, at which 183 were pres- ent, and have gotten out 14 newspaper articles. I was present at two_ can- ning demonstrations when Miss M. E. Sprague from Storrs demonstrated the canning of fruit and vegetables. There is much interest in canning. and I have received many inquiries and re- qQuests for recipes. have suggested that farmers conld make use of the farm bureau in de- eloping a farmers' exchange. If members of the Windham County Farmers' assoclation will notify us if they have anything to sell, or wish to buy anvthing, an attempt will be made (o bring buyer and seller together. Local directors are expected to take an active interest in this in’ order to make it a success. I am working on a plan which I hope will enable me to get some necessary information re- garding the condition of the local mar- ket in our .small villages. It we can get a regular report from such places telling us the amount of farm produce on hand, and the amount wanted, we will be in a position to tel any farmer where he can place his stuff and what he can get for it. This is a plan similar to the onc used by the citrus fruit growers in the west. except that they have paid agents to- look after the market situation, while our success in this line will depend on the public spirit of local men who are in touch with local market condi- tions. The local market is alway: worth developing first, no matter how much or how little produce is to be disposed of.
