It was Circus Day for everyome, both young and old. The Hagenbeck Wal- lace circus which is one of the largest touring the country today, gave un- doubtedly the best performance and street parade -ever seen in this city. The first seetion of the big show arrived in town shortly after two o’clock Tuesday morning and the ad- vance men were on the ground and at work before the break of day. The circus company with tents, cook shack, blacksmith shop, electric light plant and other paraphernalia forms a‘small city in itself and is organized and managed in such a way that everything works like machinery. The street parade which was well worth seeing left the fair grounds shortly after eleven o'clock and pro- ceeded through the pringipal streets of the city returning again to the grounds where the afternoon perfer- mance drew a large crowd. The parade was fully one half mile long and was composed of the band wo- gons, animal cages, cowboys, Russian Cossacks, elephants and camels. The performance was of the first class, including many of the best acts in the world. One of the feature acts was the SBeven Flying Wards who had an aerial act that held ‘the audience saults in the air from a trapeze catch- ing on their partners hands. filas the world famous high jumping orse, St. Patrick, which cleared the bars at seven feet, ten inches. In the steeplechase race one of the women riders had a narrow escape from injury when her horse threw her after clearing the first hur- dle. Her foot caught in the stirup and she was dragged for several feet. She immediately mounted her horse again and continued her exhibition for which she was given hearty applause. Other features on the bijl which de- serve mention were, the living statu- es, the bare back riders, the wild ani- mal performance, the trained elephants and horses and the other aerial acts. The clowns were 'excellent and kept the children in laughter with their antics, No circus is complete without a menagerie and the one that aceompan- ies the Hagenbeck-Wallace circus is one of superior quality. The side shows were well patronized and of a high order. After the main performance the Wild Wiest show was given and some fiNe horsemanship was displayed by the performers. . The circus left town shortly after midnight for Brattleboro where it shows today. VOTING MACHINES ARE TO BE DEMONSTRATED Registrars Will ‘Be at Town Hall to Show How They Work, Town Clerk Charles S.

Chapman, be- sides killing Constable mgney.' He said that he was gone from the House within seven minutes from' the time of the shooting. He caught a trolley car and went fo Westerly, where .he was just in time to get a train for New York. Heé followed the plan of buying tickets on the trains when he travelled and cashing in the rebate checks , from the train conductor at the point of desfination. He says he spent the first night in a hotel in Newark, and the second nlz;f in Philadelphia and then went straight to the vicinity of his old home in the East Liverpool neighbor- hood in Ohio, Where he was for about 15 days before he was arrested. So far as the officers learned he had made no attempt at acgpting a dis- guise, and he said that he had not worked at anything. He made no explanation of the report that he had represented himself as a U. S. secret service man. Salsberry talked liitle about the tragedy, but it is understood that he claims the trouble that led to the double shooting was over a load of manure and not over the eviction notice that had been served on him by the constable. He also claims that he was afraid for his life of the two men as they approa¢hed his house Jjust before he shot. REVOLUTIONARY SOLDIERS @RAVES IN NORWICH D. A. R. Committee Makes Up List of Much Historical Value. A prelimingry list, which is given herewith, has just heen completed, showing Revolutionary soldiers’ graves in the Jimits of the original town of Norwich. This list has been gotten together by the committee of Faith Trumbull chapter, Daughters of the Amerjcan Revolution, consisting of Mrs. Elisha E. Rogers, chairman, Mrs. Arthur H. Lathrop, Mrs. Hezekiah Perkins, and Mrs.” George C. Preston. As until May 1786, Norwich included the present towns of Bozrah, Frank- lin, Lisbon, Sprague,«and a strip two miles wide on the east side of the rivers, comprising parts of the towns of Griswold and Preston, the graves in those towns must be considered as belonging to this list. The Griswold section is well looked after by the members of the post of the Grand Army of the Republic, of Jewett City, and by local members of the D. A. R, and may therefore be cmitted from the list. It is known that many ether revo- lutionary soldiers rest in the ceme- teries included in this vicinity, but, the exact location of the graves is yet to be determined. The committee earnestly hopes that any one who knows of such graves, .not appearing in this list, will communicate this to the committee. The following is the list: Norwich. NORWICH TOWN CEMETERY.
