An ef- fort was made to find bondsmen for the prisoner, who says that he has suffered terrible remorse daring the 21 days spent in jail, and if he can obtain bonds will re- main in Rockville and work at his trade.

A bet- ter road is to be made to the premises. : The Willimantics brought a strong team to Stafford Springs on Tabor day, in- cluding some of the best Eagleville players, and one professional. But the score made was, Staffords 16, Willimantics 8. The "professional," who was especially strong as a baiter, struck oat three times, and in all 17 men were put oat by Pitcher Carney on strikes. The first ball to leave the hand of the Willimantio pitcher got a two base rap rrom uauinan juacK. Labor day was quite generally ob- served as a holiday, some stores shutting a part of the day, and only the drag stores ana meat marKets oeing open in me even, ing.

The . box also contains geranenm leaves with breadth of eight inches. Such specimens are well worthy of a paragraph in this column. The "Block Island train" will be with- drawn after Sunday.

Mr. Baby in an advertisement warns the public not to steal the copyrighted products of his brain. - He informs The Press that he now offers his wonderful violin and all his copyrights of musio for $2,000,000.

They found nothing in the noose, bat in the bashes about the premises found in different places bottles and jugs of lager and whiskey. Albert C. Aborn, who controls the premises as wel as the grove- - near bv. was taken before Justice Morris, where he secured a post ponement of the hearing for one week. meanwhile being under bonds of $100.

On Wednesday, at the residence of the bride's parents, the wed- ding was consummated of Louis S.
