 With the red mercury of the ther- mometer fIuttering above the 1o2 mark and not a breeze sufficient to stir a leaf on tree, Tuesday was classed the hottest thirty-f day of July ever recorded in Westerly. It was even hotter by several degrees than the day before and out-of-door work was practically suspended. In the granite quarries there was absolute quietness, the big plant of the Brad ford Dyeing association was ssut down for the day and there was noth- ing doing in the mills in Westerly and Pawcatuck villages. The stores re- mained open but none did much bus mess, except those wherever were served ice cream and soda water. Every body in town had their minds Centered on the extreme hot weather and so busied that they could think but little of anything else. In fact the weather was the talk of the town

 Undaunted, Sheriff Mitchell made the rounds of the hotels and rooming houses in search of Doremus. At the Martin house, a man who had regis tered under the name of Nichols, of Providence, sized up pretty well to the man sought for as described by the clerk He had engaged a room for the week, paid in advance, and had re- tired The sheriff was given permis- sion to visit the room and there found MT. DOremus in bed. The warrant was read to him and he was placed under arrest. The sheriff executed a bond of S5.000 which Doremus could not furnish and he was placed in a cell in the police station. As he was unabe to secure a bondsman during Tuesday, he was committed at night in the Kingston jail. The writ is re- to the superior court for county, September 3.
