WESTERLY HEARS Henry Coon of North Stonington, Wounded by His Step-Son, John Watson, Taken to OF SHOOTING Backus Hospital—Strong Box Stolen From Willard Store—New License Ruling of No Direct Interest—William Loy, Artilleryman, Steals Fob. Attorney General Rice has filed an opinion” with the secretary of state that the electors of Rhode Island will not be called upon to vote on the ques- tion of granting licenses for the sale of intoxicating liquors in the places where elections are to be held on Nov. 4. He says the law plainly provides that the vote upon the license question shall be taken only at elections for general ctate officers. Under the new law there are biennial elections for state officers, al- though there are annual sessions of the general = mbly. In some places town elections are held in November, but in Westerly the election is held in June; therefore the opinion of the attorney general has ro direct bearing on Westerly. At the last November election town voted in favor of license, and this will hold for the ensuing year. The llquor licenses, however, re granted only for one year. and must be renew- ed for the year to come. The full al- s, one for each 500 of granted at the high the population, fee. of $700 h, as against $450 paid in the ddlmn!n town of Stonington, which means that ihe liquor dealers just acro the river in Pawcatuck pay just § less for license than those in the me line of business inj Westerly. It is said that there are just a few licensed liquor dealers in West- atly who will not malke application for - of lack of reneweal, eitl by son supporting palronage or in order to make w for prospective applicants, and. pernaps, for a money considera- tion. The stors of the C. W. Willard Hard- ware company has been robbed again, the but .not by burglars this time, as theft was committted while the store was open for business. Someone, e dently familiar with the store condi- tions, deliberately walked into the of- fice in the rear of the store Monday svenimg and took from the safe the pri- vate drawer of Mr. W lll.l'll and the drawer was not missed until near clos- ing time. Then the facts were report- ed to Chief of Police Brown. The draw- or was a strong box in itself, but was casily removable from the safe. The drawer contained many papers and some other articles of value. as well as money, the amount of which could not be ascertained. Mr. Willard is at present on Bl Island. Early Tuesday morning a young man named Pletro Satto, while walking along Pond streef, noticed the stee! box alongside an.old barn near the road, and partial- 1y covered by a plank. He investigat- ed and found that the box, or drawer, had been smashed, and a large field stone close "by indicated how. It is evident the thief was after cash, as papers of value to Mr. Willard were strewn about the box. Mr. Satto gath- ered these together and brought them to the Willard store, together with a ring box that had contained a valuable diamond ring, but Mr, Willard may have taken the ring with him. Mr. Satto then resumed the search, aided By others in the neighborhood, and se- cured another batch of papers that had been carrfed for quite a distance by the strong wind during the night. There have been annual burglaries in the Willard store for the past four years, and on two occasions the bur- tlars ‘have been detected. Rushlow, who with Arnold heid up Cari Koelb and the payroll of the American Vel- vet Mill company at Stonington. has confessed to burglary at the Willard store. There are conflicting stories in re- gard to the shooting of Henry Coon by his stepson. John Watson, at the Coon home, on the M road, Monday night. - Coon, with a bullet in his head near the left ear and covered with blood, boarded the Norwich-Westerly trolley car just before 11 o'clock and came to Westerly. The car stopped in front of the residence of Dr. Scanlon, and' Coon was assisted into the hou He refused to he treated, saying that he wunted to go direct to a hospital and the doctor cleaned the vxound and recommended Backus hos) the most convenient. Coon was taken to the Westerly police station and spent the night in the emergen room. Tuesday morning,accompanied by Dep- uty Sheriff Casey, Coon was ' taken to the Backus hospital in Norwich, Just as soon as Coon was en to the police station Chief Br com- municated Deputy Sh Wil- \\Hh lam H. C nd Patrolman Shelby Nicholas. took charge of the case, 1g occurred in North Stonington Coon said that he was shot twice by his stepson, John Watison, who is in his 17th vear, and he denied that he had a revolver. although several load ed cartridges were found in his poci the town of ets. He claimed (I he was shot twice. and without any T ocation Sheriff Casey telephoned to Consta- ble Horace Maine of North Stoning- ton. requesting him to make investi- on and to arrest John Watson. Without delay the cor able went to the Coon place and a sted the hoy.

It makes all foods more diges- | tible; Cottolene is more wholesome, more easily! assimilated by the human, of salt. Youwill be glad of the day you began using Cottolene. He learned that Coon commenced to shoot up the house, and was about to shoot Everett Watsor, a brother of John, when John wrested the revolver from Coon and shot him, as he claim- j ed, in self-defense. After delivering Coon to the Backus hospital the sher- iff returned to North Stonington to make further investigation. Tuesday afternoon John Watson was arraigned before Justice Chapman in North Ston- ington, and pleaded not guilty to the charge of assault with intent to Kkill He was held for trial before the supe- rior court for New London county in bonds of $1,000. Policeman Donald Ferguson took William Loy into custody early Tues- day morning for the theft of a watch from George Pickering. The watch was attached to a lapet fob and carried in the upper pocket of the coat. Loy is a member of Second' company, C. A . stationed at Fort Wright, and n the company of three other sol- Pickering came with the sol- across the bridge into Westerly, and there, missing his watch, informed Policemnarn Ferguson that Loy had the watch. A search was made, no watch was found and Loy was not held. Later Policeman Ferguson, accompanied by Policeman Chase, visited the hotel two of the soldiers registered. soldiers were searched, but the was not discovered. TLater the officers found Loy and his companion on the stirway to the New Park®hotel, and then and there Policepan Fergu- son took the Pickering watch from Loy’s pocket and took Loy to the po- lice station. Loy will be arraigned in the Third district court, charged with theft from the person. One of Loy's companions volunteer- ed the information that Loy was away from duty 20 days beyond his pass limit, and must therefore answer to the war department on the charge of | desertion. Loy had in his possession letters tinged with love and from 5 ma girls. William Whitford, who was before the Third district court Monday on the charge of theft of oars, was placed on probation by Judge Williams. Whit- ford is 16 vears of age, colored, and without a home, although his mother lives in Westerly. Since his discharge from the state home and school four vears ago he has maintained himseif and was at one time in the employ of the P. H. Opie company. While judg- ment was pending. Fred S. Opie agreed to give the boy employment, and he was released, and Tuesday morning he at the elevator in the store. When Congressman Peter Goelet Ger- ry was elected to represent the Second distriot, as successor to the late Con- gressman George H. Utter of Westerly, he was a resident of Newport, which is within the jurisdiction of the First congressional district. Since them Mr. Gerry has purchased the Farnell estate at Warwick Neck and established his home there, in order to be a resident of the district he represents, After next month Mr, and Mrs. Gerry will spend the balance of the winter in Washing- ton. Judge Edward M. Burke held a reg- | ular session of the Westerly probate! court Tuesday afternoon. A petition wasg received to admit to probate the will of Heloise Canes, who died in a ganitarium at Arlington, Md., August 28, 1911, aged 78. The will stated that her estate consisted of a cottage prop- erly at Watch Hill, which she ordered to be sold, and that from the proceeds $200 be given to her nephew, Gustave G. Beauregard of New Orleans, and that the-balance be divided into three equal parts and be given to Alice Beau- regard, Frances Cenas and Elizabeth W. Darnett. Horace E. Burdick was the attorney in fact for the Beaure- gards and presented the will. As there | was no evidence at hand to prove the zignature of the will the matter was continued for two weeks. The will of Mary F. Barber, executed Dec. 11, 1909, and which bequeathes all her state to her husband, Isaac Barber, was admitted to probate, Isaac Barber was confirmed ag executor and gave a bond of $300 for the payment of all debts.
