TALKED ABOUT IN WESTERLY
Missing Principal John H. Swain Writes to His We-John
 F. Davis Secures Divorce at Reno-Cab Driver Takes
 Chances With Trolley Car and Gets Off Easy--Csveted
 Reward Fol Informing Deserter May Cause Trouble.

That John H. Swain, & former prin- cipal of the Westerly High school and later supervisor of the schools of Fall mouth, did not commit suicide is as sured by the receipt of letter by Mrs. Swain from her missing husband. Up 70 date he has not been located. nor has the woman in the case, Mrs. Flor ence E. Souther, a widow and teach CT. In the letter Swain states that he is sorry for deserting his wife and son Jack, and that he is going far away to start life over again and that as soon as he could straighten out his affairs he would send for his wife and son. Mrs Swain expects to remain in Fall mouth only a short time. until she can settle her affairs, and will then leave, probably for the home of her parents in New Hampshire. She declares she is done with Swain forever.
 The receipt of the letter and its statement that Swain is going far away, strengthen the belief that Swain has gone west to join Mrs. Souther, whose relations with the school super i1tendent caused her to resign under pressure a month ago.
 The letter was written on stationery of the Boston and Albany railroad and was written on an early morning train from Boston to Albany Tuesday. It was dropped in some mail box along the route and picked up by a postal clerk. as the letter bore a railway postal postmark. which does not give the name of any postal station.

 Health by VinoI
 A D. Robinson, Radford. Va. says: T was all run down in health, had no appetite and was so nervous I could not sleep at night Vinol was recom- mended to me and after using one bottle l noticed an improvement. Continuing it's use I was completely restored to health. The nervousness is all gone. l can get a good nights sleep and have hearty appetite can recommend Vinol to anyone who suffers as I did"
 Vinol is the greatest body builder and strength creator we know of. The curative clements of the cod's liver, aided by the blood making, strengthening properties of tonic iron contained in Vinol, restore the lack Ing ingredients to the blood and the result is health strength and vigor.
 If you need building up try bottle of Vinol with the understanding that your money will be returned if 1t does not help you. Broadway Pharmacy, G, c. Engler. Norwich, Conn.

law, Joseph Puff, was q soldier in the coast artillery branch but deserted some time ago and has managed to escape military arrest. Hood knew the man to be a deserter and was cOgnizant of the fact that a reward of $50 would be- paid for his delivery to an army post Hood imparted the in formation to Officer Donohue and it was decided to take the deSerter into custody, perhaps for the money there was in it.
 The story goes that instead of Dono- hue consulting with the chief of the Westerly police, of which Donohue is part, there was a consultation with Patrolman Shelby Nicholas of Pawca- tuck, and, according to report, ar engagements were made whereby Nich- Olas was to receive the customary com- mitment fee of $1O and the balance of $40 to be divided between Donohue and Hood
 The deserter was brought to Pawca- tuck in a cab by Constable Donohue of Westerly and delivered to PatroIman Nicholas of PaWCatuck and spent Wednesday night in the Pawcatuck station. Thursday the deserter was delivered to the commanding officer at Fort Wright, and in due time the prescribed reward will be paid.
 The real objectionable feature of the transaction was the ignoring of the po- lice department of Westerly by one of the officers, who made the arrest with in the limits Of the town, and instead of bringing the deserter to Westerly police headquarters turned him over to a Connecticut police officer. This is contrary to police ethics and it is un- derstoOd will be called to the attention of the Westerly town council for ac- tion. It is expected that all persons arrested in Westerly by Westerly off, cers shall be brought to the Westerly police station, and that if detention is necessary the prisoner will be detained in the Westerly and Tot in the Pawca- tuck station. It has been the custom for Officer Donohue to lodge all persons he arrested for intoxication in the Westerly station. and he may be asked to explain why an exception was made in this particular case.

 Alfred Hoyt, cab driver for Arthur car of the Norwich and Westerly Traction company at the entrance to the railroad station just after o'clock Wednesday night, and with the natural result, barring that the horse and driver escaped injury. Hoyt jumped from the cab just before the collision. The cab was struck about amidship and wrecked, but not beyond repair. The only excuse the cab driver gave was that he supposed the motorman would stop the car and let him drive across the track, especially as the cab man had determined to put the motor man to the test. Fortunately for the intrepid and daring cabman, the trolley car was not going at full speed, and he therefore had opportunity to get out of harms way, personally
 Those familiar with the circum- stances declare that the notorman was in no way to blame for the acci- dent as the cab was driven suddenly in front of the car. making the crash un- avoidable.
