Police SPOIL A ROMANCE
MAN DESERTED FAMILY
Young Woman Informed Him
and He Got Away Only to
be Found in Bristol.

Bristol Aug. 15,-John Keough, who
Is wanted in Newark, N, j., for desert
ing his wife and family, was caught in
Bristol yesterday through the foresight
of Chief of Police Belden. Keough was
traced as far as New Britain by New
ark detectives who located him In the
Stanley works officer Bamforth Of
New Britain was sent to the Stanley
works. He found Keough was em-
ployed there and with the consent Of
the office management sent message
to Keough that he was wanted in the
office.
Keough evidently had been waiting
for just such summons, so he was
not foolish enough to respond to it.
Irstead he sent Miss Bessie Kingsbury,
young lady of about his own age,
who is a timeseeper in the office, and
to whom 1t is said he has been paying
ardent attention, to report back to him
what manner of caller was in the front
office. The young lady knew officer
Bamforth and when she told Keough
that policeman awaited him she was
surprised at the speed he displayed in
getting out of the factory and over the
yard gate.
officer Bamforth grew uneasy after
reasonable wait and proceeded to
make inquiries He learned about the
friendship between the New Jersey de-
serter and the young woman who had
come into the office to take a peep at
bin, and was told also that Keough
bearded with the Kingsburys.
Learning that the young woman had
left the factory directly after giving
Keough the tip, the officer went at
once to the Kingsbury home in Hart
ford avenue.
The officer was not In the house long
when Miss Bessie came breathlessly in
with the information that Jack had
gone and the police were after him.
The officer waited to hear that she was
to meet him at Bristol right after din
ner, when he beat 1t to the station.
The young woman was after him and
both caught The 1920 dinky.
Miss Kingsbury saw the officer on
the train and became uneasy. On ar
irving at Bristol, officer Bamforth re-
allied that there would be no develop
ments as long as he remained in sight,
so he enlisted Chief Belden's aid. A
few minutes later Keough hoped off
a trolley car and, approaching the
young woman, engaged her in CONVEX
sation. TAT this point Officer Bamforth
put Keough under arrest and the
young woman accompanied them back
to New Britain and to the lookup.
She did not betray any surprise
when told that Keough had wife and
three children in New Jersey. She said
she became acquainted with Keough in
a tea store, where he worked when he
| first came to New Britain. Keough
told the police that he had offered to
move his family here and provide for
them, but they declined to come. He

Terrific Storm at Georgia.

A heavy thunder storm, accompanied by
a terrific wind and downpour of rain,
swept over the little town Of Georgia
late Wednesday afternoon and evening,
leaving considerable damage in its wake,
and for few minutes frightened even
the bravest, as the wind and rain drove
everything before it in almost cyclonic
fury. The heaviest loss was that of the
two brothers w, P. and j, A. Ryan,
whose large hay and COW barn was struck
by lightning and the two upper stories,
slate and all, collapsed and falling car
ried "a cows which were stalled on the
first floor to the cellar. Rescuers were
almost instantly on hand, but those of the
struggling animals which were not kill
ed instantly by the falling logs and tim
bers, were slowly suffocated or else re-
ceived such injuries that death soon came.
The owners of the barn narrowly es-
capped, for they had driven onto the lower
foo, not long before with a load of hay,
but at the bursting of the storm over
their heads had left the horses in the
barr and gone to the house. Strangely
enough, the horses were uniniured, the
timbers falling on all sides of them with
out harming them.

WENT DOWN
WITH BRIDGE
West BrattlebOrO Men Were
Seriously Hurt.
ACCIDENT YESTERDAY
George II. Barrett Sustained Injuries
to His Head and William Sullivan
Was Badly Bruised-structure Fell
Without Slightest Warning.

George II. Barrett, a Narmer about
80 years old whose home is on the
Marlboro road about two miles from
West Brattleboro, is in a serious con,
dition this morning as the result OF
an accident which occurred yesterday
afternoon at 4.30 clock when he and
his hired man, William Sullivan,
were returning from the wood'lot with
a load of wood. They drove onto the
bridge which leads from the main
stage road to Mr.. Barrett s place and
the structure collapsed, letting the
horses and loaded cart down a distance
of l2 feet on the rocks. Mr.. Barrett
was thrown about 20 feet and received
bad bruises about his head which ren.
dered him unconscious for several
hours, and it is feared may prove very
serious. Mr.. Sullivan was thrown sew
eral feet but not so badly hurt, al
though he sustained many bruises
which will disable him for some time.
The noise of the accident was heard
AT Mr.. Barrett's house, which is but
a few rods from the bridge, and the
members of his family with the assis'
tance of L. J. Johnson and his son,
II. II. johnson, who also live near the
scene of the accident, went to their
relief Immediately. 1t was seen at
once the men were seriously injured
and medical aid summoned. With much
difficulty the horses were gotten out
of the water as they were badly
bruised by the flying debris from the
load and bridge and although they re-
ceived no broken bones they are badly
wrenched and bruised and will be unfit
for use for some time. There had been
no suspicion that the bridge was un'
safe and there WASH t even a cracking
when the team was driven on it. 1t
went down with absolutely no warn
