Sullivan, Some features of a most peculiar case that has been engaging the at- tention of Prosecuting Attorney A. G. Bill, Chief Michael Grimshaw of the local police and agents of the United States dlistrict attorneys’ offices in New York and Providence were clear- ed up Monday when a girl named Prudence Hern, 15, of 1) Jagkson ave- nue, Riverside, R. I, a suburb of Prov- idence, was taken back to her home by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Hern. The name of Miss Hern has for the past two weeks been featured in Bos- ton and Providence papers ‘as one of a number of young girls that have re- cently disappeared from their homes in Providence and vicinity. Three weexs ago Monday Miss Hern, almost exhausted, poorly dressed and ill, eppeared late one ufternoon at a house near Attawaugan crossing. She told a story thiat immediately en'isted the sympathy of those wHo heard it and upon Mr. Bill being notified he sent Deputy Sheriff Charles E. Ayer for the girl and had her brought to his office. At that time Miss Hern gave her name as Mary E. Brown and said that ber home was at a certain_number at East 31st street, New York. Her amazing narrative ieading up 1o her appearance in Danieison was so sin- cerely reiated, and in such minute de- tail “that lccal officials immediately notified United States officers in Providence and New York of what “Miss Brown" had sald and a gov- ernment official came here to inter- view Ler. Ife, too, was ‘convinced that he was in touch with a remarkable case, and a net was spread in Provi- dence to capture a man and wom that figured the girl’s tale. The same thing happened in New York but investigators there were no more successful than_the government vestigators in the Rhode Islznd city. In ihe meantime the girl had been spending three wceks at the home of {Chief~ Grimshaw. ' She improved in health aad from time to time, as she was questioned and mildly third de- greed—very mildly-—told over and over again a talz tha: recounted revolting experiences she had been obliged to undergo wifile under tne power and virtually a prisoner of a young man and woman of middle age who kept her closely corfined in Providence. Sunday she called for Chicf Michael Grimshaw. He was astounded by what she told him. She had that morning in- seen her ofgn’ picture in a Boston paper and reid of herself in the story of how several girls have recently mysterlously disappeared from Provi- dence. This, she said, had cleared her mind and she was again able to identify herself. She gave the address of her parents and they came here to take her home. It now appears that Prudence, whc is an expert swimmer, and who was to have taken part in a swimming contest at a place down the Provi- dence river during :he past summer, was injured while practicing for the event by striking her lead against a boat. The ‘infury made her ill and evi- dently affected her in other waus, for from _information ~furnished = Chief Grimshaw by the girl's mother Pru- dence was fent out to get a loaf of bread threc weeks ago Monday and did not return. Her parents knew no more of her until the Danielson mes- sage Informed them of her where- abouts. The presence of the girl in Daniel- son has been kept secret to all but a few in order that the efforts of the United States officers to ferret out the facts as she represented them to be might not be interfered with by pre- mature publicit KILLINGLY VOTED FOR LICENSE BY 142 MAJORITY. Women Lose in Effort to Have Repre. sentative on School Committee. The republicans elected all of their candidates and Killingly voted for li- cense by a majority of 142 in Mon- day's election.

N PUTNAM Perey Hussey Killed and William Co- burn Seriously Injured When Train Strikes Automobile at Wright's Crossing—Town Re-survey—Repub- licans Carry Entire Ticket—License Majority 252—Town Meeting Votes 13 Mill Tax. Percy Hussey, 24, chauffeur, was in- stantly killed and William Coburn, 45, owner of the vehicle, was serious- 1y injured at about 8.30 Monday morn- ing when the big automobile truck in which they were riding was struck by a_passenger train at what is known as Wright's crossing in the town of Pomfret. The big truck went hurtling down the track ahead of the locomotive as would a toy and when it came to rest, approximately 500 feet below the crossing, it was.no more than a twist- cd_mass of metal—a total wreck. Hussey, who had been driving, was instantly ' killed and his body badly mangled. Coburn lay besids the track, suffering from a broken right arm, a compound fracture of the skull and other less serious injuries. Miss Edna ChapdeMine of this city, a passenger on the train, was one of the first to ‘reach the side of Coburn. Her professional skill was brought in- to play to render prompt and efficient first ald to the injured man, and the young woman's coolness and dexterity under the trying circumstances won the highest admiration.

Downs Was Elected First Selectman With 156 Votes. The republicans. of Brooklyn elected ~—like their party in many other towns —all of their candidates in Monday's town election. Incidentally, the town has three republican selectmen, Arthur R. Bell, who was nominated on the democratic ticket and was elected, be- ing of the republican party, he 1osing nomination for selectmnah in that par- tv's caucus last month. Oliver F. Downs was elected first selectman with 155. Fred A. Card second with 157. Arthur R. Bell received 124. Sidney W. Bard was elected treasurer, 145, against Oscar F. Atwood, 126. Wil llam Toughettc was elocted tax col- lector, 176, cver Edward Riley, 107. form an act of mercy at a'time when strong men were faint with horror. The train that figured in the ac- cident was in charge of Conductor James Wright and Engineer William Foran, both of this city. It was run- ning a few minutes late at the time of the aclident, which occurred at a crossing that is regarded by many as a dangerous one. Coburn and Hussey were en route to this city at the time of the acci- dent. The big machine on which they were riding was a chain-driven truck and, when in motion, a producer of much noise on its own account, ac- cording to those who claim to be fa- miliar with it. This fact may have had something to dowith the men not hearing the approaching train, which was running at a good rate of speed. As quickly as possible Coburn removed to the Day-Kimball hospital, where his name is on the dangerous list. Hussey's home was in Effingham, N. H., but he has been at Eastford and in Mr. Coburn's employ for a_consid- erable period. Mr. Coburn formerly as the driver of the Eastford-Put- nam stage. Town Re-survey Promises Surprises. Something of a surprise is prom- ised, unofficially, the citizens and tax payers of Putnam, when details that have been developed by the re-sur- vey of property within the town are made known. This survey has been going on for about @ year. Town officlals who know something of what has been accomplished by this re-survey say that it means the adding of many acres to the total that Putnam has heretofore regarded as correct and will bring in for list- ing-a very considerable amount of property that has been éscaping tax- ation for many vears. It is stated that parcels of land in the outlying districts that have been taxed as say 40 acres really contain, In_some cases, as much as 100 and 125 acres. It Is sald that instances have béen found of land being listed for taxation below its real value; that an instance of a tract of approximate- ly 40 acres of heavily wooded land has been going into the list without it be- ing represented as heavily wooded land, ectc., etc., as to the real facts es- caping from record. It is said that this re-survey will not cost the town over $1,000, but that the worth to the town will ‘be many times that amount through the years to_come. It was hoped to have the re-survey maps and all details of the work done done in fime for Monday's annual town meeting, but this proved to be impossible. The valuable information that the maps will set forth will be available for the assessors this fall, however, so that the town will get the benefit on all discoveries in the next grand list to be compiled. THIRTEEN MILL TAX Levied at Town Meeting Held Monday Afternoon. A tax of thirteen mills was laid at the business meeting of the town on Monday afternoon, this rate being_the same as last year. Mavor J. J. Mc- Garry acted as moderator at the meet- ing and throughout the day. Appropriations for the various de- partments of the town were made_as follows: Schools, §30,000; bridges, $1, 000; highways, $3,000; Memorial day, $125; free bed at the Day . hospital, $400; Woman's board of the Day-Kimball hospital, $100; public li- brary, $1,000. The tax was voted collectable on the first Monday of April, 1917, The meeting voted to accept, on re- quest, from time to time, any funds from persons, associations or corpor- ations provided by will, gift or other- wise for the care of any cemetery in the town of Putnam or any lot there- in, the town to pay interest therefor at_the rate of four per cent. per year. The vote was passed in such form as had been indicated by a trained le- gal mind, and evidently had the en- dorsement of other attorneys present in the meeting, but still another law- yer in discussing the vote after the meeting questioned the right of the town to accept in such a manner trust funds of a cemetery association. STRAIGHT CUT VICTORY FOR PUTNAM REPUBLICANS Dr. Omar Larue Defeated for Mem- ber of Board of Selectmen—Town Voted License by 252 Majority—298 Women Voted.
