INFANTRYMEN IN WESTERLY Y STREETS
Regular Troops of the U S. A. March Through Town Their day--James Benson Escapes From State Workhouse- Knights Templar and Knights of Columbus Elect Off cers.

For the first time regular troops o1 the United States army were seen in the streets of Westerly Thursday, and the fact will undoubtedly be related in the future history of the town. The body of troops was under the command of Colonel Davies, with Ma for McNeil as chief staff officer, and composed of the Second, Twelfth, One Hundred and thirty first, One Hundred and thirty-second, One Hundred and thirty-fourth, and One Hundred and forty sixth companies, from Fort Wright, Fishers island, Eighty eighth, One Hundred and fifty seventh com- paniee from Fort Terry, Plum island. Besides there were band, the engi- neers' corps, wagon train and hos tiIlery district. The several commands of the coast artillery corps were as- sembled as infantrymen. These troops mobilized at Fort Mansfield at Watch Hill, Wednesday afternoon, and en- camped there during the night. This was suppose6 to be an advancing ar- my to attack tho enemy with station at Stony brook near the village of Old Mystic, the army of defence being composed of the Forty third. 10th. 125th and 123d companies from Fort Terry, who were at their station in the maneuver zone, Wednesday.
 The troops broke camp at o'clock Thursday morning and proceeded on the hike of about eighteen miles. First the train of five army wagons, with the cooking outfits and commissary supplies, each wagon being drawn by four mules, accompanied by a large guard, was started, the main body of troops following. At eleven o'clock the wagon train passed through Vest erly. but 1t was an hour and half before the marching body arrived.
 Several. halts were made on the march from Fort Mansfield to give the heavily laden soldiers rest, Each man carried blanket. poncho. haversack, mess outfit, canteen, rifle, bayenet, blank cartridges, aggregatiHg a weight of at least fifty pounds, Therefore the men were in regular marching order and were not on a march for record time, They reached the Reu- ter greenhouse at 11.30, where there was an opportunity to fill canteens with water, and the soldiers went into camp for dinner in the vacant lot near the narrow fabric mill. Each man carried a haversaek ration of pressed eorn beef, bread and butter, boiled eggs end chocolate candy for dessert.
 After an hours rest the body of troops marched up Elm street. and through the village of Westerly. The Eighth coast artillery corps comprises an engineer corps. headed by the Elev- enth artillery band of Fort Wright, presented an inspiring appearance, as they marched into Dixon square. The

WINS WAGER BY. MAKING HAIR GROW
 ON BALD HEAD
TELLS HOW IT WAS DONE.

I have just finished the application of a wonderful lotion on my head which d few weeks ago was almost completely bald. Today my friends look with as- tonishment at my luxuriant growth of hair. It Is amazing how much younger I appear. This sudden and seemingly miraculous transformation is the result of wager with doctor friend of mine, who declared that he knew of an infallible way to stop my falling hair cure my dandruff and cause a new growth of thick hair of it's natural color. l confess that l was sceptical, for experience with many remedies and tonics had already convinced me that this was impossible. Yet I consented to try the preparation which he recom- mended, but l wagered that it would not succeed. I used the lotion regular ly twice a day. rubbing well into the scalp with a small brush. for I had been strongly recommended against applying 1t with the fingers or the hands, because of it's extraordinary hair growing power. In less than growing so rapidly that I could not deny having lost my wager, and I as- sure you that l never lost wager more gracefully. But I had gained a with this result to care for anything else. Upon inquiring from my friend l found that this lotion consisted of 2 oz. Of Lavona (de composee) mixed Menthol Crystals. How any druggist can prepare for such small sum To- tion so magic In it's effects that 1t grows hair on bald head Is more than I can understand. Yet the fact remains that any good druggist can prepare it, but only with the Understanding that great care must. be taken not to use 1t except on the head. for 1t would be most disagreeable to create a growth of superfluous hair On the neck or arms where the lotion might fall.
 NOTE: If I publish this formula in The Norwich Bulletin 1t Is only because of my promise that should lose my bet I would make known to the world the secret of this remarkable lotion which has the double advantage of costing so little and at the same time being absolutely certain in it's effects. This is the forfeit of my wager

The jury in the case of William p. Buffum and others against Henry N. Girard, which has been on trial for three days in the superior court for Washington county. has returned a verdict for defendant. This was an action of trespass and damages claim ed for trees cut down from land claim ed by the plaintiffs, and for carting timber over the plaintiffs land. Dam ages of $2.000 were asked, and the real contention was as to the exact divis- ion line between the property ,of the parties.
 There were two special findings of the jury, which, declared that the de- fendant had a right of way over the plaintiffs land. and, farther, that the line as surveyed by the defendants surveyor was the correct line between the parties. Congressman Will fam P. Sheffield was one of the plain tiffs in the case. Messrs. Harvey and Olney represented the plaintiffs, and Judge xphn w. Sweeney the defendant
 Jean 'Gourlay Bryson was granted final decree of divorce from Frank Howell Bryson.

band, engineer corps, the advance guard, the flankers, and with the 12- inch gun crew as support, marched across the bridge into Pawcatuck, the
 whole body halting. Then the actual
 drill in outpost duty was commenced in the direction of the imaginary enc
 my whose main body was miles away, but whose outposts were supposed to
 have the advance guard of the ad- vancing force within vision.
 First the band was ordered to a spe- cifed point of safety, and was soon followed by the engineer corps to se- lect camping place for the troops. The advance guard with flankers We're then sent out and within communi-
 cation of the support that followed.
 A link of communication was main tained with the main body. and thus
 the body moved out of the village of
 Pawcatuck along the road to Stoning-
 ton to meet the enemy.
 It was not believed when the troops
 left Westerly that they would reach a, point near enough to make the
 planned attack, unless the enemy had advanced further than anticipated. But in this the advancing troops were
 mistaken. The advance guard had hardly reached the Moss farm when outposts were sighted.
 Then conditions seemed to have changed, and there was immediate preparedness for action by every man in line. The advance guard, flankers
 and supports. kept on, with the aid of slCrmishers. Hardly had the ad- vance guard reached the opposite side of Hinckley hill-about two miles from Westerly, when firing was opened on
 both sides, the defending force grad ually dropping back to the point on Stony brook where the real battle of tbe' naneuver will be fought this (Fri- day) morning. The skirmish and out post drill continued for three hours
 and the blank cartridge fire was al-
 most continuous. The defending army finally reached camp near Stony brook and the army of advance went into camp near the Road church.
 In both camps supper was prepared
 in regular army style as if in actual service. The camps were very quiet during the night, for the long march and exciting times of the afternoon with the fatiguing effects, did not re- quiFe a lullaby to coax the soldier boys to sleep in the little shelter tents
 The field maneuvers will be contin- | ued today (Friday) and be ended in time to permit the soldiers to reach l Greton, board the visiting transports and be at supper on schedule time in their island homes.

Notwithstanding the long march, the strenuous drills, and the exhausting nuevers of Thursday, slipped by the guards and visited Westerly in the evening. They walked from camp to the trolley station at Wequetequock. a distance of about three miles. and then boarded trolley cars for Westerly just to see the sights after dark in the thriving village. The soldiers were well behaved and returned to camp by midnight, presumably as stealthiIy as when they departed without leave a few hours before.

Not satisfied with the superior court action in reducing the sentence of two years in the state workhouse imposed by the Third district court, to a term of six months, on the charge of being leWd and wanton person. James Benson, better known as Benny" made his escape Wednesday evening from the state institution at Crans- ton. Benny had done previous serv- ice and was classed as a trusty with privileges not accorded all prisoners. Benny took advantage of the confi- .dence of the prison officials and made a safe getaway. It was learned that he boarded a freight train, came to Westerly and went to his stopping place in Pawcatuck, secured clothing that belonged to him, and then took passage on a west bound freight train with New York as his destination.
 His escape was not reported to Chief of Police Brown of Westerly, or Patrolman Michael Keegan of PaWca- tuck, until after Benson was beyond their jHriSdiction. The facts ascer- tained were given to the state farm officials, without delay, and it is un- derstood assistance was asked from the New York police department to recapture and cage the escaped jail- bird.
 Benson, when on .the water wagon, is industrious and well behaved, but his falls are frequent and he gets en- tangled in the police meshes and us ually lands in jail. He has served time in New London, Norwich, Kings ton and Cranston. Some years ago he escaped from the New London jai and was subsequently, located in the jail at Kingston.
