Probable cause was found against the accused and he was bound over by Judge John H. Barnes to the superior court, and bonds were placed at $2,000. These could not be secured and he was taken back to jail by Consta- ble Timothy Fields, who also brought him from jail in the morning for the court session. Gitchie, who has been in the hospital since he was wounded, came from there to attend the court session and returned to the hospital after court. The bullet which he received in the upper part of his chest, on the left side, under his collarbone, is still in ‘his body, as it has not been thought advisable to attempt to remove it. It has been located around on the other side of his body, below the shoulder blade. In entering under the collar- bone it passed between two of the principal arteries. If either one had been punctured it is probable the man would have bled to death. At the trial on Tuesday the accused was defended by Attorney Edward T. Burke. The testimony in the case was to the effect that the accused man and the man who was shot were going GUN USER IS BOUND OVER Goes to Jail in Default of $2,000 Bonds—Accused of Shooting William Gitchie FEVER'SH CHILD —Victim is Still Under Hospital Treatment—Not Con- sidered Advisable to Remove the Bullet. home late on the night In question, and that all had been drinking. It was claimed that Tommy Logis was crazy drunk and wanted to fight, and did have a fight with a man named La- cowsky. On the witness stand Lacow- sky admitted that he had been in the fight and claimed that Tom had him down on a rock. Tom had a badly bat- tered face when he was arrested, but Lacowsky said he could not tell how this happened. After the fight with Lacowsky, Gitchie and Tom got into a fight and the accused got a pistol somewhere and began to shoot. The crowd ran away then, but Gitchie was shot twice, once in the arm and once in the chest. He was found wounded at a house near by by Constable Fields, who had been sent for, and who found and arrested the accused as he was wandering along the road. Frederick Dowdall testified to find- ing the accused very drunk and start- ing home with him, but running away when he saw the pistol. Gitchie gave testimony about the case and said he was shot by Logls, but he could not tell how Logis got battered up. Dr. C. C. Gildersleeve testified as to the wounds, and Con- stable Fields told of making the arrest and where he found the wounded man in a house la which he had been taken. W. G. Hitchon of the Glen woolen mills testified that the accused was a good worker while in the employ of the mill STRAIGHTENING OUT SOLDIERS’ HOME TROUBLES Physician Will Examine Food Before and After Cooking. “Governor Holcomb said Tuesday that some of the troubles complained of by inmates at the Soldiers’ home had been settled. In regard to the cooking the governor said the physi- cian at the institution had been in- structed to examine the food before and after it was cooked to see that it was wholesome and palatable. The authorities at the home deny that cot- tong-ed oil has ever been used in hash. Jsyernor Holcomb has no sympathy with the grievance that the old sol- diers are required to sign an agree- ment to turn over $20 a month of their pension to their milies for mainten- ance before they are admitted to the home, The governor said the state furnish- ed the old soldiers with a home, main- tenance and clothes, and it was not too much to expect that they should give $20 a month of their rension for the support of their families. Tues- day morning the governor wrote to an inmate of the home, who had com- plained of the deductioh that he did not think the veteran had good ground for it In regard to the dormitazy system the governor said the trouble came from the character of the bedsteads, according to the reports which had been made by Dr. ngalls, the surgeon- general. It was believed the difficulty would be overcome by placing a covering between the wire spring and the mat- tre: It did not appear to the gov- ernor that there was reason for find- ing fault with the system of bathing in the home. At the hearing a few of the veterans complained that they did not have adequate opportunity for tak- ing baths. Governor Holcomb said opportunity was given Mr. former commissary home, who that every Burke, the scuxeant of the had made frequent com- plaints about the management, ar at the hearing to support statements and prove their accuracy. But Mr. Burke did not appear. A notice of the time and place of the hearing was sent to him, but he said he would not appear unless he were subpoenaed ~ Mr. Burke's home is in Brooklyn, N, A change was made Tuesday in the personnel of the Soldiers’ home h pital board, the second made this year. Governor Holcomb confirmed the ap- pointment, made by the department commander of the G. A. R, of Virgil F. McNeil of New Haven to succeed David W. Sharpe of the same city, whose term will expire December 16 Mr. McNeil is a member of Admiral Foote post of ew Haven.

CHICKED HAD EYE FOR JUDGE'S SPARKLER. Picked Diamond From Scarfpin at New London Poultry Show. When Lloyd Hallenbeck of Green- dale, N. Y. an expert poultry judge, paused in front of a pen of single comb Rhode Island Reds in Lawrence hall at New London Tuesday after- noon, something happened that wasn't down on the official programme. Jalge Hallenbeck gave the pedigreed birds the cnce over at close range. The birds returned the inspection with in- terest. Particularly were they at- tracted by the $100 sparkler in the judge’s scarfpin Suddenly Mr. Hallenbeck bent close to the wire netting, a vigorous young Yooster pecked the diamond from its setting and swallowed it. In the ex- citement which ensuod Mr. Hallenbeck lost track of which bird was guilty of larcency from the person. The pen is the property of Superintendent Fred Cumpstone. What course will be pur- sued in an effort to recover the jewel is now the subject of debate. Milford.—Rey, Father Peter H.

Rev. Dr. Slocum also gave an account of the operation of a pile driver. The heavy iron weight that served as the hammer was operated by twenty native women each using a hand rope. In conclusion he spoke of his visit to Himeji, the garrison town which contains the two great castles of Japan that still stand as remnants of the old feudal system. Re Dr. Slocum paid a tribute to the wi of Christianity in transforming the lives of individuals and whole communities. Derbv.—The Derby Choral club gath- 2.15 p. m.—Address by Gov. Marcus H. Holcomb.

The amateur vaudeville entertain- ment held under the auspices of the Woman's auxiliary of the Y. M. C. A. in the new amusement hall at the Nor- wich state hospital came to a most successful close on Tuesday, the sec- ond ght, and Mrs. Edwin W. Hig- gins, the chairman of the general com- mittee of arrangements, expects that within two or three days' time she will be able to render her completed report, which will show very satisfactory re- sults. The crowd at Tuesday evening's performance was of much larger pro- porticns than the attendance on the previous evening, and all evidenced their appreciation of the efforts of those who participated in the excel- lent programme with well deserved ap- plause. The long programme was run off in even better time than on Mon- day evening, which allowed for a longer intermission, and consequently there was more of an opportunity for a visit to the palm room and the Persian garden. The attractive displa of fancy articles, basketry, flowers and home-made candy found ready pur- chasers, and long before the close of the evening everything were practical- ly sold out veral of the Jack Hor- ner pies which remained were auction- ed off for good prices by James L.

Chil- dren simply will not take the time from play to empty their bowels, and they become tightly packed, liver gets slug- gish and stomach disordered. When cross, feverish, restless, see if tongue is coated, then give this de- licious “fruit laxative.” Children love it, and it can not cause injury. No difference what ails your little one—if full of cold or a sore throat, diarrhoca, stomachache, bad breath, remember, a gentle “inside cleansing” should al- ‘ways be the first treatment given. Full directions for babies, children of all ages and grown-ups are printed on each bottle. Beware of counterfeit fig syrups. Ask your druggist for a 50-cent bottle of “California Syrup of Figs,” then look carefully and see that it is made by the “California Fig Syrup Com- pany.” We make no smaller size.
