T. A. Thomas of Center street left on
Wednesday for Dwight, H.. in company
with DR.. w. E. Putnam, where he will
undergo a treatment at the Kelley in
| stitute for the disease which he con-
fesses is his only failing. Thomas was
arrested on Saturday on the charge of
abusing his wife. Mayor Smith, think
ing that six months in the county Jail
would perhaps cure him of the drunk
habit, gave him the above sentence.
DR.. Putnam, hearing of the case, be-
came interested. and started out with a
petition asking for donations to
sist in sending Thomas to take the
Kelley cure. Some citizens, thinking
it the right thing. gave literally. while
others having different opinions ex-
pressed them in different ways. The
doctor. however, was persistent, feeling
that the community would be more
greatly benefited to say nothing of his
wife and five children if he could be
cured. instead of being incarcerated in
the county jail for six months. The
necessary amount was about $120. and
although this has not all been raised
yet, the doctor has taken him to
Dwight where he began on the treat
ment yesterday. The doctor said he has
never seen happier man than Thomas
was, when he left him, and he said
he was only looking forward to the
time now when he would be able to re-
turn home again and make good. Mrs
Thomas, who was about heart broken
over her husband having to go to jail,
was very happy. and while she con-
fessed that he has been abusive to her
when intoxicated, she said there never
was a better man living than he was
to his family when sober. Mayor Smith.
who sentenced the man, was also hap
! Ply and donated literally for sending
him away. He has been coming in
contact with Thomas for the past
three years, and has realized that there
is much good in the man. and said his
family were one of the best he has ever
, met. For this reason he has never
ceased in assisting them during all the
2 time he has known them, and is now
, glad there is a cure in sight for the
sake Of the man. his wife and also for
the children.
