SENTENCED FOR BIGAMY Changed His Plea to Grillty on Wednesday and Was Given Year in Jail by Judge Warner—Jury in New London Theft Case Will Probably be Charged Todsy. —_— Arthur G. Portemore, formerly of Brooklyn, N. Y, who on Tuesday en- tered a plea of not guilty to the charge of bigamy, changed his plea to guilty ‘Wednesday morning and late Wed- nesday afternoon was sentenced to one year in jail by Judge Donald T. War- ner in the criminal superior court now in session in this city. Portemore has a wife and three children in Brooklyn. Last March he married Miss Agnes Perin of this city. He did not tell her he was a married man. Portmore has been employed by the §S. N. E. Telephone company as an engineer of underground work. He has lived with wife No. 2 since March 8th last. Clifford Williams of this city, who on Wednesd#' changed his plea of not builty to guilty on the charge of theft from freight cars in Norwich, was sentenced to one year in jail. E. T. Burke, who represented ‘Williams, made a plea for leniency in view of the fact that Williams has a wife and two children, one but five weeks old and the other about three years old. State’s Attorney Hull said he would not ask for a prison’ sentence in. view of the facts in the case. x It is probable that the case of the state vs. George H. Clark; Thomas Clarkin and Leon Rounds, charged with theft of two suit cases and cloth- ing from John Vellis in New London, will go to the jury today (Thursday). Both arguments in the case were completed Wednesday afternoon bn} the hour wak so late that Judge:War- rer did not attemp: to charge the jury at that time. The case of the state vs. Charles A. Chapman of Groton for non-support went over fo ne:t term and he was placed on probation. NORWICH BOY BATTLES WITH MEXICAN BANDITS. J. Harold Mussell Commended by His Commander. J. Harold Mussell, son of John H. Mussell and who is with the U. S. forces on the Mexican frontier, writes ‘home that he is in the best of health and sends a copy of the official report of the battle of Buena Vista, in which he and others of the small detachment were highly commended for gallantry. The account, which will go down in government records, follows: 1. On Nov. 30 the colomel at Marfa received a telephonic message from J. F. Tigner, a rancher, living in San Antonio canyon, near San Jose, on the Rio Grande, that Mexican bandits had stolen some cattle from his ranch. 2. The colonel telephoned Licutwn- ant Matlack to meet Mr. Tigner and investigate, Lieutenant Matlack re- ported by telephone a “hot trail” and was directed fo follow it with a de- tachment of K troop. Crossing the Rio Grande ahove the camp at Indio, followed the trail and heard firing by Mexicans on the camp. but believing it to be a ruse, continued southwest- wardly toward the settiement of Buena Vista, the cattle leading to this village. The ba 1ad ambushed themselves here and firea on detach- mer Lievteiant Matlack charged into the midst of the bandits, divided his detachment, placing his men so they would not fire upon cach other, and engaged the bandits briskly for 1% minutes. until reinforcements reach- ine bandits, making them largely mber his own men. He retired nis detachment across the Rio Grande and reported to Captain Theo- dore Barnes, Jr, who was near by th the machine gun and L troops. n checking detachment, a corporal, Private Riggs of the sanitary detach- ment, Mr. Tigner and Mexican fore- man were found miseing. Captain Barnes telephoned the colonel, who Perhapsif your head were as clear as a whistle, it would not ache— | Try Kondon's for your headache (at no cost toyou) 50,000,000 have used this 29-year-old re- medy.

CO., MinseareLs, Mins. directed the troops to recross the river, recover the missing men and destroy the bandits. I- troop was ‘ordered across @at Haciendita to co-orerate. The bandits fled on the approach of our troops, who brought back the body of Private A. A. Riggs, who had been killed during the engagement. The corporal had gotten acress the river, his horse having been shot. Returning to the American side, the troops as- sembled at Indio after dark. The next morning Lieutenant Matlack crossed again and brought back Mr. Tigner, whose horse had heen shot during the engagement and who had hidden out in the bushes all night. According to the best information obtainable, Lieuten- ant Matlack's detachment killed 35 bandits and found carcasses of Mr. Tigner's cattle. The latter’s Mexican foreman had separated himself from the detachment, had evidently been captured by the bandits, bound and his brains beaten out upon the reapproach of the troops. Seddler William Noriel, Troop K, was shot through the flesh above the right knee. During the en- gagement 20 per cent. of Lieutenant Matlack's horses were killed. One trooper dismounted and gave his horse to Mr. Tigner when the horse carrying the latter was killed. Mr. Tigner was brought within ten yards of the bank of the river, 3. The detachment which fought with such gallantry and gbod judgment consisted of Temporary Second Lieu- tenant J. F. Matlack, Second Lieuten- ant Lawrence A. Shaffer. First Ser- geant Charles A. Thompson, Sergeant George W. Standley, Corporals Kdward Meloche, Ray Ha: George P. Stowe, Horseshoer John H.

Wallis, Robert F. Pick, Jr., Walter Zaklikiewicz, Blmer B. Phillips, Rob- ert J. Cains, Jr. Privates Edward Smith, John L. Sexton and Albert A. Riggs, hospital corps. At noon on Dec. 1st, 1917, ban- dits fired on I troo; 1, Lieutenant V. P. Brine c hg, wounding Private C. L. Keist twice in legs, Cap- tain T. A. Sprinkle with Troop L pa- trol and Captair Bradfe quartermaster reserve c ing Lieutenant Brine, upon. Captain Sprinkls notified Col- onel Langhorne at Indie hy mounted messenger, stating patroi was out- numbered. Troop I, Machine Gun troop, and detachments of Troops K and L went to Miembres, a village one- half mile below Buena Vista, crossing and promptly driving off bandits, who fled. Twelve outlaws were kilied. From best Mexican sources ascertained later 87 bandits were killed and wounded in the two engagements. Officers of these troops were Lieutenant Matlack, K, Captain Sprinkle, L. Captain Fisher, I, and Captain H. P, Shaw, machine gun, 5. The regimental commander takes pride in noting the prompt manner in which troops acted and the freedom from delays, and desires to impress upon all the necessity for continuous endeavor to perfect officers and men of the Bighth in being ready to meet any call.

Meeting Held Wednesday for.First Time—Forty-six Y $252 to Episcopal War Fund—Recent Real Estate Trans. . fers—Housewives Urged to Use More Milk. John J. Dunn of Westerly, secre- tary of the state board of agriculture, and as its representative, jointly with Prof. R. E. Cooley, representing ‘the state college, and Mrs. Carl Barns and Mrs. Malcolm Chace, the conservation committee of Rhode Island, have issued a circular asking the people to use more milk and not substitute tea or coffee in feeding children. The cireu- lar, which will soon be distributed, reads as follows: ¥ “More food for your money. Do you spend wisely? Milk is a food as well as a drink and the cheapest ani- mal food.. Don’t begin to save by cutting down on milk, as children must have it, and adults ought to, as it builds bone and muscle much better than any other.food. One quart of milk is as nourishing as eight eggs or a pound of lean beef, so even at 15 cents a quart it is a cheap food. Bvery baby under one year needs one quart of milk per day. Every child under three years needs one and a half pints of milk per day, and everybody needs one pint of milk per day. Don’t give your children tea or coffee—not even ia taste” 3 i i Agent F. G. Comins, in charge of ithe Southern Rhode Island farm bu- ireau, is endeavoring to induce farm- ers to keep complete and accurate ac- { counts. He says the best paying part i of the farm is the account book. “This i applies particularly to the dairy farm- er. Those who have not kept tabs on their cows are going to be up against the real test which the taking of everything-as-it-comes way cannot survive.” There is cnly one wise way to succeed in the dairy business and that is to knew your cows through records and accounts, and the farmer who will stay in the game is th eone who will weigh and test the milk of every cow in the rerd often enough| to determine her production, and then retain the profitable ones and . their daughters and send the unprofitable ones to the black. & “Times have changed in the farming business and it has been placed on a par with the large industries of the country. Those who are to succeed will be the farmers who employ some method of farm accounts, so as to be able to determine where the leaks are. Keeping accounts is a habit, and a mighty good habit at that, for it is the foundation of all successful busi- ness enterprises of thc present day.” That the agreement entered into by e Narragansett Electric Lighting company (owner of the Westerly Light and Power company) and the Rhode Island Power Traremission company has -been of great aid to the New England Power company * has beeh proven by developments of the past unusual- summer and, the present un- usual winter. Instead of the . trans- mission corporation supplying power in full measure to the lighting cor- poration at & cost less than the elec- tric plant «could generate it, the re- verse has been the case, so it.is said. The electric concern has furnished steam power to help out the water plant many times, for which, of course, it has been remunerated. The Narra- gansett is in a position to respond to calls for extra curremt.*» The Rbode Island Poweér Transmis- sion company owns or controls all the transmission lines ard sub-stations of the New England Power company system in Rhode Island. Its princi- pal sub-stations are at Pawtucket and ‘Woonsocket, connecting with the Nar- ragansett Electric Lighting company and the Blackstone Valley Gas and Electric company, with both of whom the Rhode Island Power Transmission company has contracts, as it also has with various customers on their lines. Through ownership. of capital stock the New England Pcwer company con- trols the Rhode Island Power and Transmission company. , General Manager S. C. Moore of the New England Power company, in ex- plaining the industrial curtailment due to extraordinary water and coal con- ditions. eaid that dry weather last September, followed by an unsatisfac- tory run-off October and early freez- ing of streams on the Deerfleld and Connecticut river watersheds, had been a_serious handicap to the system’s plants. The compary had written to industrial power customers pointing out that the abnormal démand for energy, growing out of the war, re- quired that a comfortable portion of the output of the company be gen- erated by steam. The New England Power company operates under agreements with cen- tral stations of its territory whereby povAr is interchanged as economic conditions require. The largest plant with which the system is connected is the Narragansett Lighting company. Mr. Moore stated that as soon as.a new 45000 k. w. steam turbine now installed in this station could be placed in service the situation would be tem- porarily improved in New England. “Newton Newkirk” received by mail a want adv. from a Westerly news- paper, and here is his comment in his feature column in a Boston news- paper: - “Who wants a fat pig? Come ahd see me. Apply to ' (address withheld). —Westerly (R. L) News- paper. WIn, these tmeatless, wheatless and well-nigh eatless days, who, pray, wouldn’t be - tickled to death to be presented with a nice, plump pig? Think what a lot of hams and shoul- ders and spareribs and sausages and delicious lard this fat pig would make! Tll take this pig myself, if nobody else wants it—and pay the freight on it as an evidence of good faith. I shouldn’t think it would be neces- sary to advertise in order to give away, gratuitously, a fat pig. What's more, if T had a fat pig which T de- sired to bestow on somebody T think I would not follow. exactly the above wording in advertising it. “Who wants a fat pig? see me.” If 1 were to advertise a pig In that manner I should be very much afraid that the reader might possibly get my dignified identity hopelessly confused with that of the fat pig. A pig, of course, is all right in its place, but I think it imperils one's reputation to be so closely associated in print with a fat pig as the above advertiser is. * Come and There was a three-on-one fight on the White Rock road Tuesday night, and as a result the attacking party, said to be Austrian-Poles, were in- terned in the Westerly police station, and the man attacked was taken to his home for medical treatment. Just what cansed the cowardly attack, if there was a cause, could not be as- certained by the police, but the belief prevails that the man was assaulted simply because he is of French per- suation, and presumably espoused the cause of the allies. The attacking party was composed of Joseph Czeles, Tadenz Skowyra and Stanus Dubreal, and the man they beat up is Josegh Robeteau. The three fellows, C., S. Church Asked to Contribute and D., for short, were before Judge Oliver H. Williams in the Third dis- trict . court Wednesday, pleaded not uilty, and were held for trial next riday. Charles Goodreau, another White, Rocker, pleaded guilty to the charge of intoxication, apd paid a fine of $2 and costs, amounting to $6. . “I've been turned down for the reg- ular army and the navy on account of defective teeth, or, rather, a iack of teeth, but I may get by in my exam- ination under the selective service law. If I'm rejected again on account of teeth, I'll enlist with the Canadian troops, where teeth do not enter into the examination for the army. Aside from the teeth, I'm physically fit for military service with United States troops, and I'd prefer to be with them, but if that is not possible I'll fight with the troops from over the border, the war aims being practically identi- cal. I'm the only member of my fam- ily who has no dependents and I be- lieve it my duty to take part in this war, in justice to the family record. I My grandfather fought in the Civil war, his father in the war of 1812, and ihis father in the Revolutionary war, and I'm going to get into this war if I possibly can.” That was the reply to a query to Eimer Carlton Smith, ask- ing him if .he expected to get ex- empted from military duty under the !gnlt law. 1 The examining board for State Di- 1 vision No. 1 met in Westerly for a first 1 time Wednesday at the town hall.

By a vote of 26 to 12, the senate confirmed the nomination by Governor PBeeckman for the appointment of Dr. Joseph M. Bennett of Providence, for- merly of Westerly, to replace Dr. Wil- liam L. Harris on the state board of Health. Dr. John L. May of the examining board for State Division No. 1 held examinations under the selective ser- vice law in the Westerly town hall Wednesday.
