MISSING WESTERLY MAN
 THOUGHT TO BE IN RIVER,
Frank Donohue, Aged 30, Has Not Been Seen Since O'Clock Tuesday Evening.
Special to The Bulletin.)

ISpeCIdI 10 The BuIIetln.J
 Westerly, Feb. Frank Donohue, aged 80, of Liberty street, has been missing since 6 o'clock tonight. A thorough search of the town has failed to locate him and it is feared he fell into the river. Late in the afternoon he was seen, but since then nothing has been heard from him. It is thought he may have gone down a driveway to the river at the back of the old armory and fallen into the river and unless found search for his body will probably be made there.
 About 6 o'clock the cries of some one were heard and there was a spla sT1 in the river. A young man shoveling snow went to the riverside but could hear nothing and there was no re- sponse to his inquiries. Chief Brans- field has been notified and will take up the search.
