WESTERLY HOTEL Sy GUEST ARRESTED Nephew of Roscoe Conkling Locates Mrs. Grace Dodds and ° Has Papers Served for New, York Client—Pierce Street . - Case in Court—Small Town Furnishes Three College Presidents Within a Year—Pickpockets at North Ston- - ington Fair. Roscoe Conkling, an attorney of New York city and nephew of the not- ed lawyer and leading politician of the same name, who lost his life in the great city during the severe blizzard of 1888, arrived in Westerly Thursday night. Here he met a diminutive de- tective who says he has been visiting several states in search of Mrs. Grace Dodds, who, with her husband and an unmarried sister, Miss Hewitt, has been at the Dixon house for the past six weeks and visiting Watch Hill al- most daily. The party has not been in hiding here and Mr. Dodds has been recefving mail daily and corre- sponding with his office in Hartford. During the summer the party have been in public hotels in New York, Philadelphia and Hartford, and in no instance has an effort heen made to conceal their identity, There- fore the diminutive detective will re- celve no medal of honor for distin- guished service in this particular case, Soon after his arrival, Attorney Conkling visited several of his Am- herst oonm“ch\mu ;?d‘:mm lml-e-mm.- mendation some ese, en~ &Qa Bamuel H.

I am in re- ceipt of a letter from a mechanic who 1s at the | head of a pros- perous house- il hold. Peruna has been used in his f|family for a good _many 3| years. He writes j| as follows: 4 “As you know, we have used Peruna in our | home for a num- househols - 8.B. HARTMAN, M.D, Sousehold medi. conditions, coughs, colds and grip, and many other allments to which the family 1s subject. But since the change In formula, of Peruna I do not find it quite as useful to my- self. My bowels are naturally very active. I cannot take a cathartic of ;g gort. It does me injury to do so. old Peruna contained no cathartic ingredient and was therefore a very useful medicine to me. But I notice that the new Peruna hes a slight lax- atlve action, which almost makes it prohibitory for me to use. I was won~ dering if there was not some way in which I could obtain the old Peruna as you used to make it.” To this letter I made the following reply: thé new Peruna does contain a laxative element. You should therefore take the old Peruna (Ka-tar-no) which has no laxative ;mmv. While' prescribing the old ‘eruna I found it quite necessary fre- quently to prescribe the laxative Man- alln in connection with it. Therefore * was combined with Peruna, in order to meet those cases that re- quire a laxative, But in case no laxa- tive is required the objection to the new Peruna you speak of arises. Many of the who used to take the old Peruna found difficulty in taking the new Peruna. To meet those cases 1 am having manufactured ‘the old Peruna under the name of Katarno, and if you are anxious to get the old Peruna exactly as it uged to be made you can do s0.” Peruna is for sale at all drug stores. SPECIAL NOTICE—Many persons are making inquiries for the old-time Peruna. To such would say, this formula is now put out under the name of KA-TAR-NO, manufactured by KA-TAR-NO Company, Colum- bus, Ohio. Write them and they will be pleased to send you a free booklet regarded the orders commccted With u::t action. As a result Mrs. Dodds was located and arrested in Westerly, The papers were given Deputy Sherift Frederick T. Mitchell for service, and Thursday morning, as Mrs. Dodds was Jeaving the dining room in the Dixon house, Sheriff Mitchell served the papers and placed Mrs, Dodds under arrest. He permitted her to remain at the hotel under surveillance. Mrs, Dodds communicated with her attor- ney in New York, who will represent her in future proceedings. \n Mrs, Dodds saig that Anderson mar- ried a younger sister and, after the birth of toree children, deserted her, and that Mrs. Anderson lived alone for twenty vears prior to her death. ‘When Mrs. Dodas qualified as execu- trix of her father's estate, Anderson, according to Mrs, Dodge, made claim for that portion of the estate thal he sald was due himself and children. An agreement was finally reached by the atiorneys for both sides, payment made, and Mrs. Dodds supposed the matter to be finally settied, as she was given full release by the attorney for Anderson. Anderson has now en- gaged another attorney, Conkling, and brings the present action, the signifi- cance of which Mrs. Dodds says she does not understand. Mrs, Dodds is of middle age, and neither she, her husband nor sister, have the appearance’ of people who would take any action that would cauge them to be fugitives from jus- tice. They certainly have made no effort to conceal their identity while in Westerly, The damages in the suit are set at 25,000 and Sherifft Mitchell was or- dered . to hold Mrs. Dodds until that amount was secured by bonds or the case disposed of by legal procedure. Friday evening, Attorney Smith, counsel for Mrs. Dodds, arrived from New York and after a consultation with the attorney for Anderson the bond was reduced to $15000. Mr. Smith left Westerly for New York on the 10.08 train and will return Satur- day evening with the required bonds furnished by a surety company with legal standing in Rhode_Island and satisfactory to Sheriff Mitchell. In the meantime Mrs. Dodds will be left in the custody of the sheriff at the Dixon house. Frank Ritutu entered writ of suit in the Third district court s ing damages of $2,000 for injuries in- flicted by Angelo Cappuccio, with a steel pinch bar. The case was con- tinued for hearing. Frank was ten- ant of a house owned by Angelo in Pierce street, and circulated the story that the house was haunted. When the two men met in the street, Frank declares that Angelo hit him in the head with a pinch bar, inflicting a severe wound and which will, probably cause permanent injury. Angelo de- nies the seriousness of the blow and perhaps has substantial defence. This same Angelo Cappuccio is plain- tiff in a criminal case brought against Vincenzo Mascolo, charging him with assault with a dangerous weapon. An- gelo charges that Vincenzo discharged a revolver at him, but the bullet went wide of the mark. The case was call- ed in the Third district court and Vincenzo pleaded not gulilty. By agree- ment between Town Solocitor Harry B. Agard ‘and Attorney John J. Dunn, Judge Willlams ordered the case con- tinued for two weeks. Vincenzo was reieased on a bond of $500 with Frank Samuel ‘Nardone as surety. il ind occupies a small place and Westerly is a mere flyspeck, and therefore gives impres- slon of very little importance. How- ever, within the past vear, three col- lege presidents have been called from the state, They are Rev. George W. Rigler of Fartsnorn Memorial college, former pastor of First Baptist church, ‘Westerly: Dr. Hanley of Franklin col~ lege, from Providence; and Dr. Meikle- John of Amherst college, from Prov dence. There is probably no other state in the union that has had like experience during the year and indi- cates a spirit of culture, refinement and education. About three weeks ago, while the family of Herbert Lee were absent from their home in North Stoning- ton, the watch dog was killed with a club, the house entered and $20 in cash and some articles of jowelry stolen. Friday afternoon, Constable’ Thomas Peahody of North Stonington arrested two boys who were with the African dodger at tho grange fair and charged them with the crime, They confessed STORE CLOSED TODAY| ~ OPEN AT 5 P.

The North Stonington fair is fall- ing into line with the big out of doors shows and is attracting the pickpock- ets. George Pendleton was relieved of a roll of $90, Latham Bentley $8, and $10 in cash and 3600 in checks was taken from Elias Chapman. Deputy Sheriff Mitchell's automobile stood still in front of the Dixon house for over nine hours Friday. The dep- uty spent the day in the Dixon house just to save a woman prisoner the convenience and disgrace of being locked iato a cell in the police station. Several automobiles from Westerly did a thriving business at North Ston- ington carrying passengers between the trolley station and fair grounds. The owners were not required to take out license as the service was con- sidered an accommodation to the pat- rons and the management of the fair, JEWETY CITY Clarence W.
