There is more joy for Danielson and its boosters in the announcement that the Connecticut Mills company has de- cided that the addition for which ex- cavating was commenced a fow weeks ago and for which the foundations are now nearly completed is to be made of brigk and four stories in height. The construction worlk is to be rush- ed with the greatest posble rapldity and the aim now is to havt the struc- ture completed and ready to_receive machinery by Dec. 1.

The new addition with its heating, plumbing and sprinkling systems, ex- clusive of machinery will cost in the neighborhood of $75,000.

Barber to Westfield Society Because Health. Leave of 1l Rev. C. H. Barber has resigned as pastor of the Westfleld Congresa- tional church. The announcement is a source of deep regret, not onlp to the members of the church and those who have been in the habit of attending service there, but as well for the com- munity. During the eleven years that Rev. Mr. Barber has been in his present pastorate he has always been held in the very highest regard by the mem- bers of all denominations and the af- fection in which he is held is a trib- ute to his splendid fitness for his life work and the fairmindedness with which he has approached all of the many phases of church work and pub- lic affairs with which he has been identified. The condition of Rev. Mr. Barber's slth is the reason for his resigna- tion. He is slowly recovering from a serious iliness of many months’ du- expected that he will n his strength, but he feels unable for the present to carry | the full burden of his pastorate, so | has filed his_ resignation. plans for the future are not de- gnation may be acted re is to be a special church at the prayer service hour to- (Thursday) evening. | meeting W BROOKLYN FAIR Was Entry Day—Exhibits | Promise to be Varied and Excellent was entry day for this rooklyn fair and all day long > to show the people of ty what has been done on the uring the discouraging sum on that is at its closc were day lonz arranging exhibits f surprising interest to those who have a hankering to know about rericultural things.

Windham county members of the legislature of 1916 gathered in the su- perior court room here Tuesday, with the county commissioners, to take ac- tion necessary to levy a county tax to ‘meet extraordinary expenses, al- ready incurred and in prospect. The result was the passage of a resolu- tion providing the appropriation of $20,000, and prescribing the method of levying the tax, which will be on_a basis of the total revenue raised by the county towns by direct taxation during the past three years. Towns like Putnam, Killingly and Windham, having municipal governments within their limits, will have to pay a larger proportion of the tax than the other towns. It is understood that the exact proportion for each town will be fig- ured out in the tax commissioner's of- fice at Hartford and that it may amount to from one-quarter to one- third of a mill on the grand list of When they had finished the show was about complete and ready for the crowds that are expected today. Down in the horse sheds there were some speedy animals housed, and fait officials say that the racing this year will be the best in a decade. The midway boys are on hand to make things lively, so the whole prospect is for a real, good old-fashioned fair. Officers of Red Cross Society. Through the efforts of Mrs. Rienzi Robinson, Miss Julia 1. Sabine, daugh- ter of Bishop Sabine, gave a compre- hensive resume of the history of Ser- bia and the Red Cross work in the lecture room of the Baptist church on Saturday afternoon; after which Mrs. Robinson organized an auxiliary to the Red Cross with the following officers: Mrs. Alfred Reed, president; Mrs. Harved Glendenning, first vice presi- dent; Mrs. James M. Paine, _second vice ‘president; Mrs. Earnest Warren, secretary; Mrs. Burdette Hopkins, treasurer. Thirty or more ladies joined. Mrs, Hugh Mason, one of the very members of the Brooklyn branuch, gave e very interesting and helpful account of the work done during the past two years. Miss Sabine expressed great appre- ciation of the responsive reception both in spirit and financially of the Danielson ladies. The cooveration of the Baptist officers in the loan of their lecture room for this meeting and_the flowers contributed by Miss Spaulding, were gratefully accepted. State Regent to Speak.

Representative S. A. Peckham, of Windham, was elected chairman, and Judge E. M. Warner was clerk. County Commissioner ®. H. Corttis, Thompson, explained the county’s fi- nancial condition in detall and the purposes for laying the county tax. County Deficit $2,401.32. Mr. Corttis stated that, as nearly as can be estimated now, the receipts of the county up to Sept. 1, for the fiscal year, are $31,659.78, the expenditures for the same period $34,061.19, leaving a deficit of $2401.32. This brings the indebtedness of the county up to Sep- tember 1, to $9,160.39, to which must be added outstanding bills of about $3.400, making a total Just under $13,- 000, Extraordinary Expenses. Other extraordinary expenses in- clude $1,000, about, for the salary of the county sealer of weights and meas- ures, $1,000 for the Windham County Farmers’ assoclation, $800 for the law library, $560 for tuition of county home children in Putnam schools, 5150 for probation officers’ fees, one-quarter of the expense, whatever it may be, of the cxpense of extinguishing forest fires, etc., including interest on outstanding notes. Mr. Rack, Killingly, explained the growing tendency of the state to shift expense burdens to the shoulders of the counties and deplored the prac- tice, but said that, under present con- ditions the county must accept the additional costs. County Home and Jail Improvements. Mr. Corttis also called attention to the fact that the county representa- tives, early in the summer, voted $8,- 000 for improvements at the county home and jail, and the expense of these figure in the’things to be taken care of. At the time of appropriating the $8,000 no tax was levied. Resolution Adopted. The resolution, unanimously passed by the. meeting, was as follows: That it is hereby determined and voted by the senators and representa- tives of Windham county that the sum of twenty thousand dollars be raised by a county tax to meet the expenses of the county of Windham already in- curred, and the debts of said county, including notes and outstanding orderss and for the expenses of the county to be incurred from this date to Septem- ber 30th, 1917, including the expense of building and improvement of the county property already voted; dnd a tax of said sum of twenty thousand dollars is hereby imposed upon the towns and said county of Windham to be apportioned to and paid by each town in proportion to the total reve- nue received yearly from direct taxa- tion in each town, including that re- ceived by all taxing districts therein, as averaged for the three fiscal years next preceeding, is to the total Tev nue so received for such time as avt raged in all towns in said Windham county and fully in accordance with the statute Taws of this state, whatever the same may be; said tax as so ap- portioned to be due and payable to the treasurer of said Windham county on the first day of April 1917.

( Bill. Mr. Smith said he is postmaster at East Killi and that he has con- ducted a store there and for six years was engaged in fur farmins—breeding fur bearing animals. Late last Decem- ber he had seven foxes and 25 skunks. Four of the foxes and 15 skunks dis- appeared on the night of December 20— 21. In the early evening of December 20, he had locked up the houses at the fur farm and that all the animals were safe within their enclosures. On the morning of the 2ist upon visiting the fur animal pens Mr. Smith testified that he found a lock twisted off. There was a blood-stained club outside one of the buildings and there were splashes. of blood on the ground in the vicinity. Four foxes and 15 skunks were missing. A trail of blood, which Mr. Smith followed, led northward for approximately 500 yards to a barway There were blood stains on the bars. How Skunks Mr. Smith te Were Taken. tified that some of the had been dug out of underground runways, while oth- ers had been taken from their nests. d he couldn’t tell whether the were killed where they were kept or after they were taken away. The next day, with James Smith and James Moran, Mr. Smith had again followed the blood trail, which even- tually led to a highway, where he claimed, an automobile had been stop- ped and that evidence was that this automobile had procecded northward. The following day he reported what he had learned to Constable Louis Bar® stow, East Killingly, and search war- rants were secured to visit the home of Ralph T' near the Putnam line, The searching party was made up of Mr. Smith, Mr. Barstow, Frank A. Whipple and M. H. Grimshaw, Atta- waugan. Fox Pelt in Rug. In conducting the search at the Tracy home Mr. Smith said that he had peered under a low Setting chest of drawers in the kitchen and saw a rug, rolled up. The rug was pulled out and within its fold a fox pelt was found. The pelt had the appearance of having been taken from an animal only recently Killed, Mr. Smith testi- fied; and further, that, in his opinion, that fox had been clubbed to death, as there were indications of this, in matted fur and blood, near the head. There were no indications of a sharp instrument being used. Another fox pelt, Mr. Smith testified, was found in a cellarway at the Tracy place, this The pelt seemed, Smith said, from a recently killed fox. » Found Pelts in Feed Sack. Mr. Smith also detailed for the court the finding of four skunk pelts, these in a feed sack found in the dark loft of an outbuilding, a ladder being pro- cured to reach the trap door that led into the loft. In response to a question from Mr. Bill the witness stated his belief that, he thought, the fox pelts and skunk pelts found at the Tracy place were from animals that had _disappeared from his fur farm. Mr. Smith told of the parts other members of the search- Ing party took in the investigation at Tracy’s, including the examination of Tracy’s automobile, which the witness said, was found to have blood stains on its floor, in the tonneau. The pelts and an iron bar and a shovel, covered vith fresh dirt, were taken away by the officers of the searching party, Mr. Smith said, and they were introduced as exhibits. Tracy's arrest followed. % Defendant’s Explanation. Mr. Bill asked the witness if Mr. Tracy had made an explanation as to how the fox and skunk pelts came into his possession and Mr. Smith replied that he remembered Mr. Tracy _re- marking that he got them near Tor- rey hill, Fur Expert’s Testimony, R. N. Austin, a Foster fur expert, testified as to how ranch-raised skunk and fox pélts can be identified and distinguished from pelts taken from wild skunks and foxes. Louis S. Bar- stow and James Smith, mentioned in Mr. Smith's, the plaintiff’s testimony, testified as fo following the blood trail and of comparing dirt found on the iron bar and shovel with dirt found at the Smith farm. Their testimony was chiefly corroborative of the state- ments made by the plaintiff. No spe- clal point was brought out in the cross examination. Court adjourned until this morning.
