COTTER DRAWS FIVE DAYS FOR MAIL FRAUD Barnes Corner* Storekeeper Fined Amount of Default as Additional Penalty—May Take Pauper 1 * Oath. The \Watertown Standard says: Den- nis L Coder, Barnes Corner's store- k<Hper. charged with stealing money from the mail while in charge of the Barnes Corners poetofflce, escaped in federal court in Binghnnuon with a five-day sentence in Jefferson county jail and a fine equal to the amount of money he owes the government. He experts to serve his five-day sentence and then spend 30 additional in jail and take the pauper's oath 10 avoid payment of the fine. His sentence was considered extra- ordinarily light. The usual punishment tor a mail theft i3 a term In Atlanta. Cotter was arrested May 28 on a warrant Issued by Federal Commis- sioner W. Glenn Larmonth. of Water- town. The warrant charged misap- propriation of government funds and opening and stealing registered mall. Issuance of the warrant followed an investigation of th<- Barnes Corners postoffice by federal Inspectors. The postmistress at Barnea Corners resigned some time ago and Cotter's wife was temporarily discharging the duties of postmistress at the time of the misappropriation*. The postoffice was in the store conducted by Cotter and occasionally lie\ was* in charge of the post office during-his wife's ab- sence. Inspectors said that neither his wife- nor the former postmistress, was in any way guilty. • The amount of the misappropria- tions was 1361.54. Goverjpnent offi- cials traced the losses to the activities of Cotter in issuing\ money orders while ,the postmistress was out and in taking a registered letter contain- ing $150, which was senit by a Burne* Corners merchant. It is alleged t'hat Co'.ter made out money orders for one amcunt and entered a different sum on the- stub. He is alleged to have confessed his activities tc the postal Inspector who made the investigation. He has been in jail since May 28. Attorney Herbert C. Teepell took his case. Mr. Teepell was not in Bing- hamton when Cotter appeared before Judge Frank Cooper, but he evidently had pleaded the case with the judge by torre.<=pondencp. In passing sen- tence. Judge Cooper told Cotter that he could release him in his attorney's custody on the promise that he pay j back what he owes the government but chose the sentence- of five days, as It gave Cotter time to find out If he could pay the money or should take the pauper's oath. • CotteT has paid back nearly $200 of the money. The amount he is ordered to pay is $187. He sold his business in Barnes Corners last March and does not own any property. LOWVILLE, N. Y., THURSDAY, JUNE 21, 1928.

Ramon Novarro, as Karl Helnrlch, a rolo immortalized on the singe by Mansfield, Boueiecault and others of the givut luminaries of t)u* spoki-n drama, is superb His triumph in \Hen-Hur\ was spectac- ular; in \The Student Prince\ it is the triumph of sheer artistry, for he makes his complex character livo and be loved. He touches the ultimate in acting art. Norma Slu-rer is an adorable Kathlf—she- plumbs the vr-ry depths of emotion—nnd still casts an irresisr tible sp« 11 that charms the .spectator even while tha^t spectator is marvel- ing at the sheer art of her portrayal.

An exhibit of historical articles and ducumtnts is on diwplay in the Leon- ard memorial room at the .Lowville Public Library. The exhibit was gath- ered by uhe Lewis County Historical Society and is well worth a visit Included in ihe exhibit is the sword carried in tin- War of 1812 by General Walter Martin of Martinatourg, pres- ented to the Lwwvirie Chapter, Daugh- ter* of 1S12, by David Martin, the gen- eral's nephew A chair, once the prop- erty of Nicholas Low, for whom Low- ville was named, has been loaned by Mre.

These rare treasures were given by the two sons of Lieut. Burke. There are also several medals from Civil war tiin«-s on a card which have been loaned l»y Mrs. Felix McConwell in memory of her late husbund, order- ly to General Grant.

This road is now part of the St. Lawrence dlvLsldn from Boonvir.e to Lowville. Among the other roads with whloh Mri Schultz was connected are the New Haven. Mlddletown & Willlamantlc, now a part of the New Haven system, the New York, West Shore and Buffalo, the Erie, the- Tioga, \and he also had charge of the work on the portion of road that crosses the Montezuma 'jn>arsh and Savanah sink hole.

First state guard troops who will train at Pine camp this summer ar- rtted at the big army reservation Sun- day, when 1,600 men and hundreds of horses came on troop trains. ? The One Hundred Twenty-first Cavalry of Buf- falo and western New York points, cavalry troops from Utlca and Syra- cuse, the One Hundfed First Cavalry from Brooklyn, led by. Col. James Howlett brigade, th© Fifty-flrst Cavalry Brooklyn, commanded by Brig-Gen. Mortimer Bryant, and the Fifty-first Machine Gun Squadron, led by Major N^ H.

Katharine- Brure celebrated her eighth birthday, June 16th by enter- taining twenty^two of her little friends. Games wove played and dainty refreshments were served. The \.ir.le- pinjs departed, wishing their heste?* many more-happy birthdays. Final proof that''«Lindy is a flawless knig-ht is his. withdrawal in time to let bave the front page again. snap judgment\ if it were not in square aspect to the sun. Jupiter, in Scorpio in the fifth house and in trine aspect to the sun, will lave a marked influence on our politi- cal life and tend to unite the leaders to an end agreeable to both; whether this be to t'he good or bad for . ail concerned is a doubtful question to my mind. Mars in Pisces in the ninth house gives a restless dJs.posi>tlon, dissatis- faction and strife; it being in trine to the sun and Jupiter, will tend vo annul the good that' might be had from Jupiter. < . I Saturn in Gominl in the twelfth house gives a childlike simplicity to the whole- horoscope; therefore I pre- dict just such ja state of affairs at our ne^xt conventions and the Judgment used and the agreements entered into will be of a childish nature, and when it is realized it will be too late to remedy until our general election, which, I think will be the most bit- terly contested election ever held. Thus endith the- first spasm. This second v«eason of the year will be a marked dmtprove-ment over its elder sister, spring, in the way of weather conditions, as Mars, Jupiter and Mercury are all in trine aspect to the sun Uv Cancer. This will give warmer • weather with good growing conditions and as Cancer is the mother sign it will produce much frujt of a fair quality, but very seedy and o> barren tendencies. Many sudd/ni storms of a severe character are frfre- told, especially near July 3d, when Mara and Jupiter are in conjunction and is very liable to produce, seismic, disturbahce-s in thesouth and west. Hay and .grain will be a light crop in most places and have a tendency to mold. Th-is will be more noticeable in grain fhan in.hay, (a blue mold will form, on most grain that has not bad particular attention). Potatoes promise a fair yield, but dam,p, hot spells will cause blight early in them. _ Corn will be rather spotted or scat- tered in growth, with a tendency to smut and diseases. *-. Vegetable® will be of excellenrqual- lty and an abundant yield . Fruit will be abundant and-et good quality, but in som© localities be ruin ed by rains and wind. Labor conditions will not be of the best. as. that restless condition will combine with that childlike simplicity denoted v by Saturn In Gemini. Mars, that fiery planet in Pisces will cause a restlessness in people- who will not be cowtented unless on th6^mp.ve ( and will cause a carelee-deposition, in them, which in turn will cause many accidents, with a listless disposition to make amenflfe. * Most accidents will happen between the hours of 4 and 5 p. m., therefore Deer Bigigera' mystery novel, \The Chinese Parrot,\ in which she Is co- featured with Edmund Burns.

That In itself is j nouigh to attract considerable interest. 3reat Venetian settings, authentic in detail ami beautiful to the eye, were constructed for this production. Paramount has combined comedy and domance with a generous touch of old- world environment for just such love-making. The cast is all that can be desired, from beautiful Florence Vidor with her smart gowns, right down the line to th© holder of the smallest role. Tullio Carmlnatl plays Prince Dan- tarini. who falls in love with Gail Grant, marries her and tames her, a difficult task cleverly accomplished. William Austin takes comedy honors in the role of Banning-Green,-. eccen- tric Englishman who is always too late In meeting and ' wooing the heroine. Corliss Palmer, as Mrs. Fremont Gage No. 1, and Shirley Dorraan, as Mrs. Fremont Gage II., win more laughs w;ith their characteriza- tions.

There are rnany~rare Indian relics such as knives, belts, tomahawks, axes, arrows, chh-els. stone and bone aipades, spud«, etc. Many of th» in have been found by Mr. Mihalyi :n Lewis county. The exhibit given to the society is from the private collection owned by him. which is probably :one of the finest and mos-t complete in the country. Other objeo;s of Interest is a map of the United Slates published in 1S2C, a photograph of Company H, 26th New York Cavalry at Madison Barracks, clapper from the bell in the old Low- ville Academy: roster of the Fifth New York Heavy Artillery.

Attacked by a large lynx, Charles Kempa, who resides at the Phillips farm at Gardner's Corners, defended himself successfully with an axe which he wielded with deadly accur- acy from behind a tree. The ferocious animal first attacked \Mr. Kemipa's dog. The\ canine had wandered away from Mr. Kem-pa,, who was repairing a fence on the farm. Hearing the cries of his dog. Mr. Kempa went to his .aid and found the animal in the grasp of the lynx. At the approach of Mr. Kempa, the lynx released his grip on the badly clawed dog and started for th© In truder. Mr. Kempa Bought refuge back of a tree, and waited for th& ap- proach of the lynx. As the animal peered back of the tree, Mr. Kempa struck him over the head with .th© axe. The blow failed to kill the lynx, which sprang eight feet in the air and retraced hla steps back to the dbg which \was lying on 6ie ground, weak- ened from, the battle and loss of blood Mr. Kempa followed th© injured lynx Two more blows from the axe killed the -marauder.
