It is now several weeks since Miss
Bessie Eyre. daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
James A. Eyre. left her home in Bay-
view avenue. South Norwalk. and went
to Colorado. where she was married.
and was. a few days later. one of the
central figures in a tragedy that shock.
ed the good people of this state and
came asp. agreat surprise to Bessie's
relatives and friends in South Nor~
walk. Nothing has been heard from
Bessie of late. and she has made no
effort to return to her home here. It
is not known just where she is at pres-
ent, but she may appear in court abort-
ly where the suit for divorce of Mrs.
S. C. Martin, whose husband is the
promoter of the Tom Moore Consoli-
dated Mining Company. comes up for
trial. In this connection the follow-
ing letter. received by The Evening
Sentinel today from Mrs. Martin. will
prove of interest. to Norwalk people.

dends some (I , but with the present
management it will never pay what
money has been paid in for stock, this
year, as the sum has mostly been spent
in high living and women.

make it pay. and it. will take at least
$40,000 to $50,000 to put up a good
mill. but it must have a better mana-

Your‘paper made a mistake when it
said that Bessie Eyre came out here
in my charge. I kn“ nothing of this
girl until the following message came
over the telephone from Silverton:
*‘Voorhees commited suicide today.
Bessie insane with grief.” '
Mr. Martin then told me that this
Bessie Eyre was a girl from Connecti-
cut whose father was a stockholder. in
the company, and that her parents had
requested bin: to call on her and see
if she was with the right kind of people

The regular Sunday evening service
at St. Peter's German Lutheran Mis-

attend the dedication of the new par~

The German school will be closed for

the laying of the brick will start very

The foundation walls are not all
made of large stone. but instead mortar
and crushed atone are mixed together
and pounded down between wooden
cribbing in layers of ii inches. The mass
hardens. in a day or two.and then the
cribbingi is removed and put to other
use. Superintendent McNally says
that this kind of foundation wall is
better than one in which large stone
is used. The dye house is 68 x 187.3
feet.
The weave mill. which is staked out
will be l82.2 x 135.4. Then there will

This morning. Judge Joseph R. Tay-
lor announced the appointment of the
probation officer for the City of South
Norwalif.
The new officer is John B. Lawrence.
the wcll«known Insurance and real
estate man. Probation ()filcer Law-
cnce hereafter if you please. He will
enter on his duties immediately. and
all feel that Mr. Lawrence will fill the
office in a capable and conscientious
manner. To those who are aware of
the appointment, vibe naming of Mr
Lawrence is good news
The office was created at the last
session of the state legislature, and
fills a long felt want in dealing with
juvenile offenders in particular.
Heretofore, for instance if a boy
should be arrested for some misde-
meanor. which was hardly worth send-
ing to jail. the way in which he could
be punished would be by a fine or a
continuance of the case. after which
he would be discharged with I warn-
ing that he was on the high road to
the state prison if he continued his
misdeeds. This was a very crude and
primitive method of dealing with
iiivcnile offenders and entirely unsat-
isfactory. Hereafter. when such cases
arise, they will be turned over to Pro-
bation Officer Lawrence. who will
"keep tabs" on the offender, and try
to put him on the straight and narrow
bath again. At these times in a boy's
life he may by good management. be
reclaimed and made into a good citi-
zen or he may be pushed along the
road down hill.
The work is not confined alone to
juveniles. though they will doubtless
prove to be a large proportion of it.
Some time ago. a case carne~up which
would have been just typical. A mar-
ried woman was arrested for the first
time for drunkenness. Her husband
could not keep her from becoming
intoxicated at times. It is thought that
a probation officer. by having the case
Ilnder scrutiny, could exeyclse a good
influence over her.
For his services, Mr. Lawrence will
receive {3 per day while engaged in
actual work. This will be paid by the
