 Enough intoxicated to attract Police man Fenton's attention the man was seen in Water street about 9.30 o'clock, but when the policeman started to- wards him, he disappeared into a sa- loon. From this he soon came out and walked off towards Washington street, apparently considerably braced up but when he reached the al1eyway at the side of the Schwartz building he turned down there and towards the river.
 Following along within a minute or two thereafter, the policeman could find no trace of Stanton although he looked along the railroad tracks as far as the tunnel under the elevator building. AS the officer was return ing his keen ears located a slight gurg- ling noise in the water but when he flashed his light alon the dock front back of Barstow Co.'S store he saw only a hat floating on the water and no other signs of the man he was looking for.

 Been Profitable One

People at Watch Hill and Block Isl- and are circulating a petition which seeks to have the steamer Block Isl- and's season extended to Sept 15.

was on the launch, he suddenly saw Stanton coming up through the water right under him and making a des- perate struggle to reach the surface.
 Policeman Fenton was able to reach him and hold his head above water, but found that he could not get the nearly drowned man out alone so that he whistled for help and when Police man Charles Perry responded they lifted him to shore and brought hiAl to police headquarters. Here he was taken in charge by Captain Twomey and stripped of his clothes and wrap ped in a blanket before he was put in the lodgers' room to sleep. He was thoroughly exhausted and without doubt would have drowned in min ute or two more in the water as he seemed to be unable to swim or keep himself afoat.
 Later when he was aroused after having had short sleep at police headquarters, he droWsily replied to Captain Twomey's questioning that he was an old sailor and lived alone in house on the shores of Rogers pond in the town sof Lyme.
 He said that he did nothing for a living as he had a pension of $12 a month. Tattoo marks that pretty thor oughly covered his arms and were also on his legs, bore out his assertions about his seafaring life and he said he had served on the Osceola.
 There is a charge of intoxication against him on the police blotter.

 FOR A SLEEP
George Babcook Lay With Head Near
 Trolley Rail at ThamesvilIe.

George Babcock of Jewett City, mid dle aged, courted death Tuesday even- ing when he lay down to sleep along side the trolley track on Thames street near the city line and was found there with his head close to the rail by the crew of the Montville trolley car due in Franklin square at 9.10 o'clock.
 The car came to a stop almost over the sleeping man and in such a posi- tion that it was the opinion that he would surely have been struck if the car had happened to have had double Step running boards. The man lay face doWnwards.
 Motorman Conrad and Conductor Taylor reused him and walked him over to a vacant house near by where they left him and made report at the car station in Franklin square, from which the police were notified.
 Sergeant John Kane went to Thamesville on the 1915 car and was shown where the man was still asleep in the vacant house where he had been left. He brought him in to police headquarters on the charge of intoxi- cation.
