about 10 o'clock she came to the Cook
residence 207 North street thinly clad
with an old shawl over her head and
sat down with the determination to
stay. Mrs. Cook was frightened and
tri=d to have her go away but she said
she had a right there and she was
determined to stay. Chief Mulligan
was summoned and went and took her

told Chief Mulligan that he wanted to
take her home. Mulligan was consid-

She had worked a shrewd game to

went out again on the same errand
«nd her father went lo Litchfield Cen-

he cane back he suspected something
wrong and starled for Athens at
once. He found that she had not gone
to the neighbors at all but as this
was on the way to Athens she had
heeled it to town. Hewen Munn says
he saw her get oul cf a sleigh at East
Athens and walk toward town at a
very fast gait. When she arrived In
town she went at once to the Cook
residence and took possession of the
house as If it was her own. The Cook
family consulted a lawyer and will

ST | Relating te Burial of Soldiers, Sallers
and Marines—What Is Necessary.
.
A law which is misunderstood and
which is causing our counly commis-
sioners considerable embarassment is
the acl of assembly authorizing each
couny to bury and lo provide a head-
stone for any honorably discharged
soldier.. sailor or marine who served
in the army or navy during the late
rebellion or any preceding war, and
who shall thereafter die In that
county leaving insufficient means to
in each county the act requires
that in every township and ward sull-
able persons be appointed to jook
after and bury the deceased soldiers,
sailors or marines who are entitled
to the benefit of the above act. Be-
fore assuming charge and expense of
burial. section second, provides that
the men appointed must first satisfy
themselves by careful Inquiry Iolo
an examination of all the circum-
stances in the case whether the de-
ceased soldier, sailor or marine they
are called upon to bury served in
the army or navy and was honor
ably discharged and died in their
township or ward leaving Insufficient
means to defray necessary burial ex-
penses.
if they are satisfied that such facts
exist they shal take charge of the
body and cause it to be buried and
thereupon they shall immediately re-
port their action in the case to the
counly commissioners, setting forth
the facts ascertained by them, to-
zether with the name, rank, com-
mand to which such deceased sol-
dler. sailor or marine belonged, the
date of discharge, etc, which report
shall be duly attested by three repu-
table persons residing in the same
township or ward with the deceased
soldier, sallor or marine knowing the
fact that the latter died without suffi-
client means to defray necessary bur-
fal expenses
The above provisions, our county
comnmissioners think, when known
ought to make it clear, not only that
veterans of the war must die wholly
without means before they can be
buried at the expense of the county,
but also that whatever is done in the
premises must be done promptly, as
soon as death occurs, if the pro-
visions of the law are to live up to
The county commissioners are
much perplexed by applications that
come in to the office months after the
death and burial of the veteran has
occurred Persons who are unac-
quainted with the provisions of the
act seem lo think that by establishing
certain facts at any time subsequent
to death money will be “paid by the
county for burying deceased soldiers,
sallora or marines
This is a mistake, as those who
apply soon learn. The death rate is
rapidly increasing among the veter-
ans and it is only just that all should
know what the law provides as to
their burial and what procedure must
be employed

him to police headquarters, where he
