Mose the Druggist, the Rexall store.— adv. Probably without any intent at secrecy, but, nevertheless, without undue adver- tising, an effort is now underway here to organize a unifon of textlle workers among the employes of the Quinebaug mill. It was sald Friday that a meet- ing was held Thursday evening. The effort to organize is of more than passing interest just now on account cf the fact that Moosup has a big strike on, and Moosup is a newly crganized mill town. Indications here are chat the great percentage of workers of the Quinebaug company have not as yet been approach- ed to join the union, though a quiet can- vas for. members has been going on for several months past. In advance of the organization of ihe union, there is evidence to warrant the statement that any effort to have the mill company recognize ihe urioa will be met with refusal. The Danielson public as a whole hopes against any developments that will bring labor trouble into this field, and there seems little prospect now ‘that any such difficulty will arise. The public here is not opposed to the union ilea, but fears, under present conditions in New Epgland, that this is not just the time to fromcte it in the textile field. A Moosup_ Friday the third day of the strike pasfed quietly. The. strik through their committee, are cortinuing to maintain that their union must b= re- cognized. To this the company says that it never has had any dealings with a union in Moosup and no quarrzl with one; that the union has closed its plant without due cause and, having done this, it is altogether illogical on the part of the union to éxpect that ths company will submit to such a demand as has bLeen made upon it. It was very evident Wriday that many of the employes who are id!s on account of the strike would welcome an oppor- tunity to go back to their work. They need work for the moncy it vnll bring them and say without raservation tbat the strike is a mistake because the grounds on which it ‘s bassd are insuf- ficient to warrant any such drastic ac- tion as has been taken. Chautauqua had a successfs] opening Friday afternoon. Good weather con- tributed to the success of the day and allowed of a good attendance. The opening was with grestings -and an- nouncements by the Chautauqua super- intendent. The College Singing Cirls, five talented and vivaclous artists, in songs and readings were the entertainers in the spirited opening program. This group gave anothec concert in the ev- ening when an added attraction was 2 lecture by Dr. L. ¥ Herbert on The Crisis of the Call. 5 While not announcing any _Gefinit schedule of extra service, the Connectl- cut company will run extra cars on the holiday as the demands of traffic war- ~ July 4th Ashland Park Jewett City Biggest and Best Ever Staged in Eastern Connecticut.

MUSIC BY Ellison’s Harmony Boys Dance — Tonight At Tip Top Hall, Colchester Algo Confietti and Streamer Dance, Monday, July 3rd. A Music by the Famous Phitharmonic Dance Orchestra PUTNAM Wilfred Sharpe, youthful married son of Dr. and Mrs. Harry W. Sharpe, was back on his job in a Main street store Friday afternoon after undergoing the unique experience of being kidnapped by his wife, 2 woman more than twice his years, and other members of a party of five that seized him while he was at Wild- wood park dancing Thursday evening, forced him into a United States army au- tomobile and whisked him away. ‘Where he wouild have been taken had not the army cac stalled just across the Rhode Isiand border a few miles east of here and allowed gnother ar Dearing Putnam police to overtake it, is a matter of mere conjecturs, but it may be set down with all cértainty that it would have been far from this city. The kidnapping party was made up of three men, two of them wearing the uni- forms of soldlers, the other in civilian at- tice, and two women, one of whom was Mrs, Wilfred Sharpe. They boldly seized young Sharpe at the pavilion at the lakigy warning all who witnessed the incident not to interfere, bustled him into the army car_a Dodge sedan painted in the regulation olive drab, and shot away be- fore the amazed onlookers gathered their wits sufficiently to realize just what was happening. A telephone message to the Putnam police set things in moticThere in a jiffy. Assuming that the car would make a run out over the Chepachet highway towacd Providence, Captain Remi Delage, Officer Eugene Gibney, Dr. Harry W. Sharpe and a driver raced eastward and after.a few miles came upon the army car stalled be- side the highway, the machine having gone dead from some trouble or other. One soldier was busy working about the motor when the police car arrived and Captain Delage gave the party warning that one faise move would mean instant response from the officers’ revolvers. The three men in the Kkidnapping party promptly submitted to the inevitable and then demand was made upon them to de- liver up the youthful Sharpe. They made known that he was with the two women at the side of the highway just a little diStance from the car. Cap- tan Delage had one of the liveliest ex- periences of his officlal career when he ran afoul of Mrs. Sharpe. The officer says she fought like a wildcat to prevent her husband from being taken away from her, that she clinched with him and wres- tled about until it mnally became neces- sary forhim to draw his revolver_ stretch out his arm and fire, to frighten her into loosening her hold, Witt¢h she did, shriek- ing “I'm shot!”-Which she was not. Cap- tain Delage, not desiring to pummel a woman, hall been forced to adopt a sub- stitute method of subduing her, and the ruse worked well. With young Sharpe freed from the kid- nappers, the Putnam party put him in their car and brought him to the-home’of | his parents. He was so bruised by the ? é ~ Notice.

The kidnapping incident amazed the people of this city and surrounding ter- ritory. The army ‘car that figured in the affair has been seen about Putnam quite frequently € late, and the assumption is that L, plotters had been waiting for a favorable opportunity of seizing the young man and hurrying him away. The fact that an aemy car was used and that men In soldiers’ uniforms figured in the kidnapping affords a groundwork for ascertaining the identity of every member of the kidnapping party.. Provi dence authorities were intensely interest- ed in khe whole affair on Friday and the Friday ‘evening paners in that city gave the happening conspicuous publicity. The young man who was kidnapped is a graduate of Putnam High school. Last year he was in Providence. While staying there he became acquainted with a wom- an known as Mrs. MonKs, then resident at 223 Fountain street. He is just over 21, while the woman is well along in middje age and the mollier of several childrem On Oct. 20, 1921, Mr. Sharpe and Mrs. Monks. were married in Boston. They made their home in Providence during the past fall and winter. What circumstances led to their ‘sep- acation are not generally known but on May 16 of this year young Sharpe.re- turned to Putnam and has since remained here, taking employment in a grocery and provision store.. Mrs. Sharpe has been in. this city seeking interviews with him and his parents since he returned, but these efforts failing, the sensational kid- napping episode was staged. Just what is to be done about: it was not clear Friday. It was pointed out that the high-handed seizing and carcying off of the young man was entirel® outside orderly process of law and is a punish- able offense. Attention wus béing called, too, to' the serious predicament in whici the soldiers who figured in the affair will find themselves, for such use as they made of what without doubt is an official army car is bound to bring an investi gation and severe punishment from mili- ‘tary if not civil authorities. o Developments in the case were being awaited here with interest on Friday. That the Gary district school will be opened in the fall is now assured. The town of' Pomfret, through the school board, has accepted the offer: of the Put- nam school board to lease the schoolhouse for/one year, from July 14, 1922, to July 14, 1923. On account of the small num- ber of pupils, the children from that sec- tion of the tgwn of Putnam and Pomfret that have been attendants at the Gary district school have during the' past School year been transported to Putnam. The reason for closing the school was be- cause the small number of pupils made it very expensive per pupil to keep the school running. In compliance with the request of a number of parents interested in having the school reopened, the Putnam school board called a special meeting at which the matter was discissed. It developed that if the town of Putnam hired another teacher it would bring the number beyond that aliowed by the state in the payment of state aid: Losing state aid, together with the cost of running the school, would be a considerable burden on the town. It was suggested and later acted upon that the town of Putnam lease the school to the town of Pomfret and let the town of Pomfret provide the teacher. This offer was made to the Pomfret school board and_at_a recent meeting of the board was acted upon favorably.
