They were-sent to him by parcel post by a Mr. Safford from Boston after Mr. Safford got back from the Maine woods.

MEN SKIP DRILL. Certain Members of Thirteenth Com- pany Cause Others to Lose Their Pay.

The result is that, on such nights, all who were present have had to drill without getting the pay now allowed—about a dollar each for enlisted men. It is expected, however, that the practice of paying men for taKing part in_ai will_attract recruits to the service and that before long it will not be at all difficult to have tue re- quired minimum present at every drill Captain F.

EIG VOTE PREDICTED More Than 300 New Name: Added to Town's List. to be xperienced political observers are predi ing that Kiliingly’s vote both at the town election Oct. 2, and_at the national and state elections Nov. 7, will reach the highest total in the his- tory of the town. If all the applicants to he made voters come before the selectmen and town clerk next Saturday, when vot- ers are to be made, and pass up to the usual percentage that do pass out of numbers applying, more than 300 names will be added to the town's voting list. There are 180 male ap- plicants, and there is special interest in these, for they will have something to say, and may be the balance of power, in deciding contests for town offices and on the license question, over which there will be a Stiff con- test. It is taken that the unusually large number of men applicants to be made voters is due to the fact that Killingly has been very prosperous gnd has grown considerably in populdtion dur- ing the past two years. there will As is always the case, losses this year from the list of be voters as compiled for last year, this Que to deaths and removals to other towns; but the promised gain will more than offset these losses and probably bringing the total of voters listed to the highest mark in Killing- Iy’s history. Added, too, will be the names of more than 200 women, in- terested in voting for members of the town school committee. JEWETT CITY The Water Co. have postponed flushing until Sunday, the 24th.—adv.

He was up with his sick wife ad was looking out of the win- dow. It was a grey car and he knew it was Tracy's. There were two men in it but he could not tell who they were. The Search at Tracy's Frank A. Whipple of Killingly, member of the theft detecting society told about the search at Tracy's He sadi he knew the Tracy automobile and it rattled and leaked oil. He met Tracy ten days before the robbery and he had eight skunk skins in the back of his car.

Henry Chase offered some damaging testimony when he said that _the morning of the robbery he heard an auto and was within twenty-five feet of it as it passed him. It was a grey machine. He heard Tracy’s voice as he said “Keep still there's Henry.” He knew Tracy well as he went to school with him. He smelled the odor of skunk as the machine passed. “You wanted to convict a thief if you could, didn’t you?” asked Lawyer Torrey. “No Sir,” answered the wit- ness also Defendant Dnies Everything. Ralph §. Tracy, the defendant took the stand as the first witness for the defense. He denied that he stole an- imals, denied that he was in the high- way that night, denied that he was out of the house after eight o'clock and didn’t know that plaintiff had a fur farm. He said the dirt on the shovel had been there some time and the blood came from skunks dug at East Put- nam. Thel eight skunks he had in the auto on the 19th had blood on them and he had carried a quarter of pork in the machine. ‘The skunk skins were hanging where he usuvally had them. He kept them in The Red Cross Auxiliary will hold its meetings in the Bacon Academy hall on Tuesday mornings from 10 to 12 and Thursday afternoons from 2.30 to 5 until the schools open.
