Howard Bartlett, Man with Peinted ‘Right Ear, Wanted for Passing Worthless Checks—Lawyers Ask for Treble Damages Under New Statute. ©. Howard Bartlett, who was em- ployed for a time in September on Barnes brothers’ h farm in the e Codstook, stirring up a disturbance in various parts of New England by passing worthless checks drawn en the Putnam National bank. Complaints have been made to the po- lice of various eities to be on the look- out for the man. That there is good cause that he be apprehended is dem- onstrated by the fact that several of the worthless checks he has issued have been sent to the bank for collec- tion. Bartlett has no account at the bank. He did open ome early in the fall, got a check book, but drew to the full amount of his small deposit within a short time. Evidently he is still mak- ing use of the checkbook. Mirs. Margavet Hollenback, who con- ducts a lodging house at 357 Broad- way, Lawrence, Mass., has reported to the ‘police of that city that she has been swindled out of a small sum by Bartlett, who is also believed to have worked in Lowell as well as that city. According to Mrs. Hollenback, a man giving the name of George C. Baker came to her home one day last week and engaged quarters for him- self and three men whom he sald were to carry on advertising work for a well kmown cereal comcern. He ten- dered in advance payment a check for $28.80, receiving in return a differ- ence of $1.80. He ate a few meals at_the house and then departed. “Investigetion showed that the check, drawn on the Putham National bank, was of no value. Mirs, Ellen Bvans of 49 Tremont street. the same city, elaims a sim- ilar attempt was made to get money from her. From Pawtucket comes a different story of Bartlett's misdecds Mrs. E. H. Woodhead, a widow, was duped by him in that town. There he also rep- resented himself as the traveling agent of a big cereal company and that he was in charge of men doiug advertis- ng work. §Irs. ‘Woedhead has written to Q. Harold Gilvatric, cashler of the Put- nam_Natiopal bank, but as master of the lecal lodge of Masons, rather than as bauk cashier, to learn wha alue was fo be attached to Bartlett’s claim that he was well known in_business cirel in Putnam, where he had lived for half a dozen vears; that he was high in the Masonic order as he also in the Knights of P/ hias and Odd Fellows. He told Mrs. Woodhead that he was at one time asked to be a can- didate for mayor im this city; also that he was a friend of George E. Shaw, Jerome Tourtellotte, “Ba" Mans- field and others. This was all bun . He sald he had an uncle in Woodstock.

The driven well water system of Westerly, which has been in operation twenty-four years, has been a success from the etart. At no time, even dur- ing the present drought, has there been perceptible diminuition of the supply, while anaylsis has proven the water o bo the purest obtainable. There i3 plenty for commercial, fire and other purposes, and its use s unstinted, provided consumers pay for the water used. The system is kept up to the highest standard by Supt. Thomas Me- Kenzie under the direction of the board of water eommissioners, composed of Louis W. Arnoid, John J. Carney and Tristam D. Babcock. In 1596 the town of Wesierly pur- chased from the Westerly Water Works company the wafer system of that ¢ime, the water coming from Shu- nock brook, in the town of North Ston- ington, by gravity to the pumping sta- tion, where it was filtered and pumped to the standpipe on Quarry Hill. That same year a contract was made with & Boston fim to install a driven well sysfem capable of producing 1500,000 gallons of water a day, to be located near the -White Rock road. Twenty- nine wells were .driven and an offieigl From Abundant Water Supply—Has 53 Wells With Total Storage of 1,000,000 Gallons—$5,500 Loss Through Fire and Water Damage in Mrs. Otis Chapman’s nson Jailed For Chicken was in the building, but the dense smoke gave the impression that the whole upper part of the interior of the building was ablaze. This is the third time this building has been afire and the present loss is the most serious. C. Edwin Gove has finally retired from the firm of Maxson & cempany, which practically suspended operations three weeks ago, although still oper- ating fna very small way. This leaves J. Irving MaXson as the sole member of the firm. He is the owner of the real estate and is ensaged in an en deaver to get together the odds and ends of the firm's business with a vi to final settlement. There is negotin- tion with a local firm for a transfer of the business. in_the Third district court, before Clerk Edward G.

These wells are of wrought iron pibe, $wo and one-half inches in diam- ¢ter. Bach well i3 provided with an independent valve and praperly con- nected with a,_sixteen inch cast iron pipe and a reserve chamber or sand catcher is provided aid connected with the suction pipe at the pumping sta- tlon. The pump plungers are ten and ane- quarter inehes in Giameter, with a two inch stroke. The displacenents in both water cylinders amount-to 13.94 gallons per_revolution, 249,548 having been made in the first offcial test of 2 hours’ duration, thus, giving 3,457,670 gallons as measured by the revolution Counter. At the congiusion of the test the water in the wells rose again to within one foot of the ariginal height in bhalf an hour, showing that there is an apundance of water in the ground from which the supply is drawn. The pumping station is supplied with twe one-million gellon verticul compound condensing pumping engines, boilers and appurtenances. When it deemed_advisable, the water be arawn from the standpipe to p therough cleansing, an recess presgure can be maintained by direct pumping; and no consumer do- prived of water a single minute. The villazes of Pawcatuck, Wateh Hill and Pleasant View are 4 from the Westerly system. In 1902 ten additional wells were dviven, and since thom fourigen more, making a total of fifty-three wells, and 2 new 2,000.000 gajlon pumping engine has been installed. A new sicel and cement standpipe has just been com- pleted with a capacity of 630,000 gal- fons, making a total water storage of 1,00 1 to that standard at all time: 5 The average depth of the wells is 5 foet into a gravel water-bearing strata on top of bedrack, and tha present capacity of the plant is 1,500,000 gal- Yons of water in 94 houre.
