PATRIOTISM ACTIVE. Ninsty-Two Men Participating in Drill of Volunteer Organization. Enthustasm for military training seems to be growing by leaps and bounds in Danielson. This week’s arill_of Danielson’s volunteer organi- zation found 92 men on the floor. par- tleipating ip the setting-up exercises and in the’ school of the soldier_in- structions. Nearly 50 more men were interested spectators, many of them anxious to be of the company, .hut late in arriving for the start of the evening’s drill. The number turned out is without parallel in Eastern,Con- necticut, and vet this is one of the “less than 10,000" towns of the state, not considered worthy of much con- sideration by some Hartford legisla- tors. - Captain Darble and his assistants are putting the men through the ele- mentary processes of soldier-makins teaching them the simpler things that must be learned well to properly lay the foundation for other instruétion, soon to follow. And the men are do- ing well. They show great interest and anxiety to learn. Many thanks are due t othe Spanish War veterans and- other men who have had military and naval training for the whole- hearted manner in which they have taken up the work of instructing the awkward squads. These volunteers are acting in the capacity of non- commissioned ‘officers, as most of them formerly were, and are lending in- valuable aid to Captain Darbie. DF. L." J. Sylvester, Henry Burton 'and Frank ‘E. Young, who in the past have worn shoulder” shraps, are among the £roup of men acting as squad instruc- tors. Indications are that next week will see’ the company close up _to . war strength in numbers. Améng ‘those who arill are many who have in mind the possibility of real service later on. They figure that whatever instruction they get now will be so much gained against the time when they may be called to put on a uniform and do real military service. They are not anxious for war—most of them abhor the thought of it. but they figure there is nothing to be lost by a little pre- [paredness and that their example is a £ood cne for such perilous times as these. 17 HOUSES COMPLETED WITHIN PAST MONTH Seven More Cellars at Williamsville Stoned—Buildings to Erected Within Two Weeks.

Bridgeman of the state police told the story whil in this city Friday afternoon. The Kingdom of Death that-the Germans claim to have left behind them on thelr retreat from the Somme battlefields to their new Hindenburg line has nothing in the way of aridness or blasted hopes and biackened prospects on the Sahara of thirst that the state officers have left along their trall in the part of Plainfleld where they have beon operating. And there is wailing there and gnashing of teeth and parched throats—and maybe, only just maybe—this may be one of the signs that presages the approaching end of all things, even to the destruction of the world. Two Days’ Job. 1In accordance with the requirements of the majesty of the law, Sergeant Bridgeman and Officers W. E. Jackson, Rowe H. Wheeler, A. L. Rudd and Thomas Mitchell, with four local as- sistants worked themselves dizzy get- ting rid of the big haul of contraband liquors recently seized in Moosup. They started on the job Thursday and x-bored till they were weary, but it was Friday. afternoon before their la- bors had been completed. But for ‘weeks to come there will be a gurgle- surgle-gurgle repertoire sounding in their ears—and who can tell but that their dreams will be filled Wwith vis- jons of nightly Brownie orgies 'neath Tillinghast’s barn! An Ocean of Booze. According to Sergeant Bridgeman, there was some mighty nifty booze in the big lot that went to destruction. Hundreds of bottles of Scotch—oh, you Johnnie Walker!—Geneva gin and fine old Spanish port got the dump with the ordinary lines of booze, of which there was a yvoung ocean. Sergeant Bridgeman :said that _approximately $6,000 worth of the stuff was seized at the store of William G. Clark. There were brands that the state officers never heard of in the lot, and many kinds of products of the distiller's art, not to mention beer. A Record Loot. Altogether the lot that. went down into the cellar and out into the yard —where barley may grow this sea- son—represented more money _ than any Jot ever destroyed by the offi- cers in this state. A rald at New Hartford a few years ago when 33,- 000 worth was seized and poured out represents the nearest approach to the high mark set Friday. Refused $5,000 For It. Even the officers seemed stunned at the destruction wrought in the name of the law, which prohibited an offer of $5,000 for the seized goods being received, the offer from a wWholesale liquor dealer. But things are happening tnder Til- linghast’s barn these nizhts. The Pled Piper of Hamlin would be jealous, too. if he could see the goings-on. There is more than one way to “pie” a rat, and the rats have great chances to get pied now, even though Meosup is bone dry—or nearly so. | LEFT WIFE ON RANCH WHILE HE CAME EAST of Pomfret, Better Part At Fridav morning’s session of the superior court, Judge Gardiner Greene Presiding, the uncontested suit of Mi nie Allen Searls of Washakie, Wyo. ming, for divorce from her husband, Ennis Newton Searls, of Pomfret, was ‘heard. On ‘the witness stand, Mrs. testifled that she married Mr. Searls in Brooklyn, N. Y. January 5, 1897. At that time her husband was in the Dpatent medicine business in New Ha- ven. After a time she inherited some money from her mother’'s estate, and Searls expressed an ambition to go ‘west, so she acceded and put $10,000 into a ranch in Wyoming. At least once a vear her husband made a practice of taking a trip east. leaving her in charge of the ranch, 50 miles from the nearest town, and at times she had only one hired man to Searls help her direct the affairs of a ranch of 400 acres, mostly covered with saze brush, but which they had hoped, by irrigation. to develop into a fertile and productive property. In 1914, while her husband was on a trip to the east, he wrote Her that it seemed best that they agree to di: agree. and that he wasn't coming back to Wyoming. She hasn't seen him since, and” she claimed he has been paying attention to some other woman in New Haven. During a two year perfod that she directed the affairs of the ranch her work was #0 arduous as to keep her in the saddle most of the time, riding with the cattle on the range. Her husband had made over $3,000 worth of property and paid her $150 a month 80 that she could keep the ranch go- ing. For two years she was so much jn_ the saddle she did not wear a skirt. - Last fall ahe s01d the ranch and now has in mind going to Arizona. Mrs. Cora E.
