"A destructive hail storm visited this
vicinity about midday, Sunday. Ii came
thick and fast and lay piled up 10 win
rows, in some localities, for hours after
wards. Considerable damage was done
gardens and growing grain.
There have been no new develop
ments In regard TO the disappearance OF
Col. Hard, and many people believe that
be wandered off in some alteration of
mind, and will turn up again all right,
while others think he intended to run
away, and does not intend TO return.
Whatever the truth may be, 1t would be
a relief to know 1t and have il done with,
The following brief telegram appear
ed in the daily papers of Aug. 1st:
Henry s. Kermery, clerk to Rice g.
whiting, arrived at Worcester, Mass, :,
yesterday, in charge Of a detective. He
was arrested on the charge of raising a
check of $500 to $500. Bill Atwood,
who obtained 1890 from the accused by
persorating a detective, was also arrested.
And thereby hangs a tale which has not
all been unfolded, but which is believed
to be substantially as follows: Kermery,
after obtaining money on the raised
absconded with Atwood's wife.
They are supposed to have gone to Man
VT, as a couple answering their
description are said to have stayed there
a week, and afterwa ards went to Montreal.
Here Kermery abused the woman so
badly that she became disgusted with
him, and wrote her husband the circum-
stances, and to come for her, which he
did. Meeting Kermery, he accused him
of the forgery, and claimed that he was a
detective, but that he had the authority
to compromise the matter, and would
both o%ffenses for 81, 800. Kermery claimed
that he had spent about $500 in buying
presents for tho woman, but would give
81 800. This sum Atwood accepted, and
it came TO Arlington, where be
lived, working as a painter
in the car shop. Here he made free use
Of the money, but bad 50 fiicient honor to
pay a large number Of small debts which
he owed when he left town, principal and
interest. His wife seeing how fast the
money was going, managed to ecu
$500 Of it, taking her clothing suddenly
Atwood, supposing she had
gone back to Worcester, went there after
her, but, in the, meantime, detectives had
found aud arrested Kermery, who told
them that Atwood had most Of the money,
and they consequently arrested Atwood
on his arrival at Worcester. We learn
that subsequently they iound Atwood's
but probably the greater part OF
the $500 had gone where the detectives
will not be able to reach It. Another re-
port says that the woman Kermery alb
with was not Atwood's wife.
