A number of the local residents will
remember g. Fl. Brown, who spent
some time at the Springs House in the
late summer and early fall. He was
accompanied by his little son and his
sister. He registered from New York.
1t is thought that the mans name in
reality is G. H. Newman, but that he
adopted the good old name of Brown
for reasons of his own, which have be-
come public within a week. Newman
probably went from here to the Mo-
hecan hotel in New London, where he
registered as G. II. Brown. A few
days ago Mrs. Newman, his wife,
found him at New London, and accused
him of taking their child from her a
year ago last September. The attempt
of Mrs. Newman to take the child
away from Miss Newman, her hus-
bands sister, while on the street,
furnished some material for the news
papers. Each contending parent hired
a lawyer, but a compromise was reach
ed before there were any legal pro-
ceedings. Mr.. Newman is to have
possession of the boy Sundays, We'd
nesdays and holidays, and Mrs. New
man will have him the rest of the
time. Mr.. and Mrs. Newman are
residents of Yonkers, N. Y.

Sunday with Mrs. Rathbun's brother,
