- _NORWICH BULLETIN, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1912 INFANTRYMEN IN WESTERLY STREETS Regular Troops of the U. S. A. Way to Stonny Brook—Field Manoeuvres Begun Thurs- day~-James Benson Escapes From State Workhouse— Knights Templar and Knights of Columbus Elect Offi- cers. For ths first time regular troops ol the United States army were seen in the streets of Westerly Thursday, and the fact will undoubtedly be related in the future history of the town. The body of troops was under the command of Colonel Davies, with Ma- jor McNell as chief staff officer, and composed of the Second, Twelfth, One Hundred and thirty-first, One Hundred and thirty-second, One Hundred and thirty-fourth, and One Hundred and forty-sixth companles, from Fort Wright, Fishers island, Eighty-eighth, One Hundred and -fifty-seventh com- es from Fort Terry, Plum island. des there were a band, the engi- neers’ corps, wagon train and hos- corps, all of the New London ar- district. The several commands of the coast artilléry corps were as- sembled as Infantrymen. These troops mobilized at Fort Mansfield at Watch Hill, Wednesday afternoon, and en- camped there during the night. This was supposed to be an advancing ar- to attack the ememy with station at Stony brook near the village of Old Mystle, the army of-defence being somposed of the Forty-third, 110th, 126th ang 1234 companies from Fort , who were at their station in the maneuver zone, Wednesday, The troops hroke camp at 8 o'clock Thursday morning and proceeded on the hike ql about elghteen mlles, First train’ of five army wagous, with the ocooking outfits and commissary supplies, each wagon being drawn by mules, accompanied by a large was started, the main body of following, At eleven o'clock the wagon train passed through West- » but it was an hour and a half the marching body arrived, Beveral halts were made on i £ H i the march from Fort Mansfield to give the heavily laden soldiers rest, Each man earried blanket, poncho, versack, jmess outfit, canteen, i-lne. bayenet, blank ecartridges, aggregating a weight of at least fifty pounds, Therefore the men were in regular marching order and were net om a march for pecord time, They reached the Reu- ter greeihouse at 11.30, where there was an opportunity to fill canteens with water, and the soldiers went inte camp for dinner in the vacant lot near the narrow fabric mill, Bach man earrfed & haversack ration of pressed eorn beef, bread and butter, boiled «cn,“u'nd chocolate candy for dessert, an hour's rest the body of up Elm street, and the village of Westerly, coast artillery corps comprises an engineer corps, headed by the Elev- enth artillery band of Fort Wright, an inspiring appearance, as marched Into Dixon square, The Just See That Corn Shrivel=Vanish!

March Through Town on Their band, engineer corps, the advance| guard, the flankers, and with the 12-| inch gun crew as support, marched across the bridge into Pawcatuck, the | whole body halting. Then the actual ; drill in outpost duty was commenced in the direction of the imaginary ene- my whose main body was miles away, but whose outposts were supposed to have the advance guard of the ad- vancing force within vision. First the band was ordered to a spe- ‘ cified point of safety, and was soon followed by the engineer corps to se- | lect a camping place for the troo The advance guard with flankers w then sent out and within communi- catlon of the support® that followed. A link of communication was main- tained with the main- body, and thus the body moved out of the village of Pawcatuck along the road to Stoning- ton to meet the enemy. % It was not believed when the troops left Westerly that they weuld reach a. point near enough to make the planned attack, unless the enemy had advanced further than anticipated. i But in this the advancing troops were |mistaken. The adyance guard had hardly reached the Moss farm when outposts were sighted, Then conditions seemed to have changed, and there was Immediate preparedness for action by every man in line. The advance guard, flankers and supports, kept on, with the aid of skirmishers, Hardly had the ad- vance guard reached the opposite side of Hinckley hill—about two miles from Westerly, when firing was opened on both sides, the defending force grad- ually dropping back to the point on Stony brook where the real battle of the' maneuver will be fought this (Fri- day) morning. The skirmish and out- post drill continued for three hours and ‘the blank cartridge fire was al- most continuous. The defending army finally reached camp near Stony brook and the army of advance went into camp near the Road church. In both camps supper was prepared in regular army style as if in actual service, The camps were very quiet| during the night, for the long march : and exciting times of the afternoon, | with the fatiguing effects, did not re- quire a lullaby to coax the soldier boys to sleep in the little shelter tents. The field maneuvers will be contin- ued today (Friday) and be ended in, time to permit the soldiers to reach’ Groton, board the visiting transports | and be at supper on schedule time in their island homes. The jury in the case of William P. Buffum and others against Henry N.| Girard, which has been on trial for three days in the superior court for ‘Washington county, has returned a verdict for defendant. This was an action of trespass and damages claim- ed for trees cut down from land claim- ed by the plaintiffs, and for carting timber over the plaintiffs’ land. Dam- | ages of $2,000 were asked, and the real contention was as to the exact divis- | fon line between the property \of the ! parties. There were two special findings of the jury, which. detlared that the de- ! fendant had a right of way over the rlamtma’ land, and, farther, that the line as surveyed by the defendants’ surveyor was the correct line between the parties. Ex-Congressman Will- lam P. Sheffield was one of the plain- ! tiffs in the case. Messrs. Harvey and Olney represented the plaintiffs, and Judge §phn W, Sweeney the defendant. Jean "Gourlay Bryson was granted final decree of divorce from Frank Howell Bryson, At the annual meeting of Narragan- sett commandery, No. 27, Knights Templar, officers for the ensuing year were elected as follows: Sir Alexan- | der R, Paterson, eminent commander; Sir Albert H. Spicer, Jr., generalis- slmo; Sir Arthur N. Nash, captain- | general; Sir Lewis Stanton, senior | ) warden; Henry L. Bowles, junior war- | | den; Past Eminent Master George E. | i Broughton, prelate; Past Eminent | Master Archie C. Thompson, record- | er; Past Eminent Master Russell B.

Smith, cap- | tain of guard; Sir Everett D. Hoxie, master of ceremonies; Sir James Blackler, third guard; Sir Frank Bal di: sentinel; Sir Willlam H. Goodyear, organist. The officers were installeq by Past Eminent Master Robert E. Cole. The Teports of the officers showed the commandery to be in the very best of condition, with rank among the high- est in the state, > o) . Not satisfied with the superior court action in reducing the sentence of two years in the state workhouse imposed by the Third district court, to a term of six months, on the charge of being a lewd and wanton person, James | Benson, better known as “Benny,” made his escape Wednesday evening ' from . the state institution at Crans- | ton. Benny had done previous serv- ice and was classed as a trusty with ' ¢ans present and the three conventions | privileges not accorded all prisoners. | Benny took advantage of the confi- | Jdence of the prison officials and made a safe getaway. It was learned that he boarded a freight train, came to . Westerly and went to his stopping- | d place in Pawcatuck, secured clothing that belonged to him, and then took passage on a west bound freight train with New York as his destination. His escape was not reported to Chief of Police Brown of Westerly, or Patrolman Michael Keegan of Pawca- tuck, until after Benson was beyond thelr jgrisdiction. The facts ascer- tained were given to the state farm officials, without delay, and it is un- derstood assistance was asked from the New York police department to recapture and cage the escaped jail- bird. Benson, when on ,the water wagon, is industrious and well behaved, but his falls are frequent and he gets en- tangled in the police meshes and us- He has served time in New London, Norwich, Kings- lton and Cranston. Some years ago he escaped from the New London jail and was subsequently located in the jail at Kingston. The following were elected officers of Narragansett council, No. 2, Knights of Columbus, at the annual meeting: Dr. Michael H. Scanlon, grand knight; Patrick H. Morrison, deputy grand knight; Willlam L. Dolan, chancellor; Guinness, financial secretary; H. Spellman, treasurer; Mor [k Bransfield, advocate; James A. Keane, warden; Patrick E.

WINS WAGER BY I - I have just finished the application of a wonderful lotion on my head which 4 few weeks ago was almost completoly bald. Today my friends look with as- tonishment at my luxuriant growth of hair. It is amazing how much younger 1 appear. This sudden and seemingly miraculous transformation is the resuit of a wager with a doctor friend of mine, who declared that he knew of an infallible way to stop my falling hair, cure my dandruff and cause a new growth of thick hair of lts natural color. 1 confess that I was sceptical, for experience with many remedies and tonics had already convinced me that this was impossible. Yet I consented to try the preparation which he recom- mended, but 1 wagered that it would not succeed. I used the lotion regular- ly twice a day, rubbing well into the scalp with a small brush, for I had been strongly recommended against applying iv with the fingers ot the hands, because of its extraordinary hair_growing power. In less than a week's tigie the new, short hairs were growing so rapidly ‘that I could mnot deny having lost my wager, and I as- !sure you that I never lost a wager more gracefully. But I had gained a growth of hair and I was too overjoyed with this result to care for anything else. Upon inquiring from my friend 1 found that this lotlon consisted of 2 oz. of Lavona (de composee) mixed with 6 0z. of Bay Rum and dr. of Menthol Crystals. How any druggist can prepare for such a small sum a lo- tion so magic In its effects that it rows hair on a bald head Is more than Fcan understand. Yet the fact remains that any good druggist can prepare it, but only with the understanding that great care must.be taken not to use it except on the head, for it would be most disagreeable to credte a growth of superfluous hair on the neck or arms where the lotion might fall. NOTE: If 1 publish this formula in The Norwich Bulletin it is only because of my promise that should I lose my bet I would make known to the world the secret of this remarkable lotion which has the double advantage of costing so little and at the same time being absolutely certain In its effects. This Js the forfeit of my w: B FRANCIS after Frank Hill, former president and now liquidating agent of the bank, had a conference with Bank Commissioner George H. Newell. Negotiations are now pending for the sale of the as- gets of the bank and it is expected that the sale will be consummated in thirty days. The success in winding up the affairs of the bank is even in excess of the anticipation of the bank officers. ‘When the liquidation was first un- dertaken, It was expected that. two, and possibly three payments would have to be made were the bank suc- cessful in paying its full indebtedness, but it is now practically certain that full payment will be made at one time to_depositors. When the bank suspended business its total assets were $26,600, divided among 211 depositors. Dividends were pald in full up to January 1 of -the present vear. Therefore the only loss the depositors will sustain is the in- terest .from January up to the time of-payment, eleven months. The loss from this source will be comparatively small, as the largest single deposit is §4100, and the great majority of deposits are very much smaller. There were three separate repub- {lican caucuses held in the Westerly town hall, Thursday evening, namely the First and Second representative district caucuses to elect committee- men, and the general caucus to elect delegates to the state and congres- sional conventions. l The_First district caudus was called to order by Dr. Michael H. Scanlon, chairman of the district committee, and was made permanent chairman. Everett A. Kingsley was chosen secre- tary. Judge John W. Sweeney placed in nomination the following and they were elected: Dr. John M. O'Con- nell, Harold D. Thorp, George B. Ut- ter, Alfred J. Plerson, Charles F. Edward J. Burdick and Joseph Judge Sweeney explained that Dr. Scanlon was not a candidate for re-election and had suggested the sor. At the caucus of the Second district, William L. Clark called the session to order and Eugene B. Pendleton was chosen chairman, and Arthur L. Per- W. Cof these committeemen were elected: William Clark, Samuel H. Davis, Martin H. Spellman, Lewis Stanton, Arthur L. Perry, James Mc- Call, Danfel F. Larkin. Theh came the caucus for the elec- ager. BRONIN. i tion of delegates to the state and sén- atorial conventions. William Clark, chairman of the town committee, read the call and stated the business to be the election of six delegates to the state convention, six delegates to the Second congressional convention and | a town committee. Eugene B. Pendle- ton_was chosen chairman ahd Arthur L. Perry clerk. The delegates elected to the state convention are Congress- man George H. Utter, Arthur L. Per- ry, Dr. Michael H. Scanlon, Judge B ward M. Burke, Judge John W. Swee- ney, Councilman Maurice W. Flynn. On motion of Everett E. Whipple the delegation was authorized to fill any vacancies that might occur. It was voted that elected to the state convention be also the delegates to the congression- al convention, both conventions be- ing held in Providence on the same date. It was also voted that the members of the committee of the First and See- ond representative districts constitute | the town committee. There were twenty-three republi- were in session a total of just thir- teen minutes, Notwithstanding the long march, the strenuous drills, and the exhausting in_of mimic warfare, many of the soldiers who participated in the ma- nuevers of Thursday, slipped by the guards and visited Westerly in the evening. They walked from camp to the trolley station at Wequetequock, a distance of about three miles, and then boarded trolley cars for Westerly just to see the sights after dark in the thriving village. The soldiers were well behaved and returned to camp Dy midnight, presumably as stealthily as when they departed without leave a few hours before. Local Laconics. | Many from Westerly enjoyed the military maneuvers on Thursday, mak- . ing the trip in automobiles. | The fellows who were wise to the |game kept pace with the advance guard in the military maneuvers. { Alexander C. Thompson has har- | vested about one hundred and fifty barrels of cranberries from his bogs in North Stonington. Rev. John M. Collins of Westerly has | been_appointed field representative for | the New London, Norwich and West- | erly business colleges. The Niagara Engine company, No, |1_ of New London, has accepteq an nvitation of ,Rhode Island Ones to at- end the company fair in Westerly in | November. Everett B. Saunders was taken sud- denly ill while at Brockton Thursday and is at his home in Westerly in a critical condition. He has been in poor health the past two years. The soldiers certainly did seem to enjoy the exciting field drills of Thurs- a exercises that cannot be success- fully carried out within the confines of the government reservations.
