left home ostensibly to visit friends
in Nashua and Boston. Mr.. Holmes
had desire to travel about the same
time and the couple went to Hale's
tavern in Wells River and stopped to-
gether. Mr.. Winter in some way
learned their whereabouts and got the
necessary papers which were sent to
Deputy Sheriff Baldwin at Wells River
and he made an official call on the
travellers at the hotel about six
o'clock in the morning. Mr.. Winter
brought civil suit against Mr.. Holmes
in which he set the value of his
wife's affections at high figure. The
two men however made settlement
with each other and Mrs. Winter de-
cided to return and live with her hus-
band again, thus closing the incident.
