Investigation by the police disclos- ed that a man unable to give his name, who was brought to the Day Kimball Hospital Sunday night in the Webster ambulance, is Philip Stoll, 66, of Quinebaug.
 Stoll was found lying in the road between Quinebaug and Dudley by Dr. Merrill of Webster. At the hos pital it was learned that he had a re- volver in his pocket and this led to the police being brought into the case. It developed that the pistol was un- loaded.
 Stoll had several cuts on his head and his back was injured. It is be- lieved that he was struck by an auto- mobile, but he is unable to furnish any particulars of the accident.
 Relatives of Stoll came to the hos pital Monday to see him. The man had lived with sister in Quinebaug He worked in the mills of Fabyan Quinebaug and Webster at different times. He was in the habit of takin: periodical. vacations and had not beea 1t the home of his sister for thre weeks, and she had felt some alarm about his safety.
 Stoll's inability to speak English 1uently, coupled with his dazed condl- ion Sunday night, made it impossible O learn anything from him at that ime. The finding of the revolver IT lis pocket at first gave ground 1o' luspicion that he might have been ou' on the road for the purpose of stag, ng a holdup. With the establishment
 the mans identity this suspicion was allayed.
 Stoll's injuries are not believed te ,e serious, and he will recover.

 Taken Home By R. E.. Thurston

The two lads spent the night, Sunday, at the police station, and, after light breakfast, were given a ride to their homes in Providence by Ralph E. Thurston.
 The boys were bright little fellows, but did not have much to say. They told the police that.they started out for walk from the familiar scenes of their neighboring homes in East Prov idence and became lost. Whatever may have been their intentions, and however they may have strayei so far from the capital of Little Rhody, they did reach East Putnam footsore and weary The condition of their shoe denoted that they had walked a gooa distance A farmer who saw the pali enter his barn notified the Putnam pc hee and officers went out into the country and brought tho boys to the police station and gave them cot foi the night.
 Ralph E. Thurston, manager of the Putnam Light & Power Co.,, happene into the station house and solved the problem of the boys return home by volunteering to take them back, as he was leaving for Pawtucket. The youngsters enjoyed the trip and the stories told on the way. They botf said that they had no fears of a par ental spanking as they thought tha relatives would be too pleased to ses them return safe and sound to take them to the woodshed for sessior with barrel slave or strap.

and told of the accident and his sus- picions, and gave the Rhode Island registration number on the car.
 Mir. Averill says that there have been as many as twenty accidents at the corner where his house stands Although no one has been killed yet he expects there will be some day and therefore calls the place "Dead mans corner," as beftting what he expects to happen.
 Several people have been injure and cars have been put out of commits sion so often it attracts little atten- tion. To protect his large elm tree from the continual charges of the speed kings, MT. Averill has taken large granite slabs and chained them to the tree. Three of these have al- ready been broken. There have been danger signals installed, but even this does not stop drivers unfamiliar with the corner trying to make the turn at a high rate of speed which usually brigs them up against the veteran elm. If it was not for the tree protecting him, MT. Averill says that he would not be surprised to come down stairs any morning and find an auto in his sitting room with anywhere from one to half dozen maimed and wounded lying about.
 This is the second vehicle that has stopped" at MT. Averill's involuntar- fly that it is believed carried load of The police kept watch but it is thought that the men feared to pass through here with their damaged car to attract attention, so skirted the city and come onto the Providence pike in round about way.

After being out thirty-fve minutes q jury in the superior court In this city came in at 4.15 Tuesday after noon and rendered verdict for the Firmen's Fund Insurance Company against Jesse E. Rich of Putnam. The verdict gave the plaintiff company the egal possession of the car and award ed one dollar damages.
 The action was one which grew out of the replevin of Hudson coupe which the defendant purchased ia March, 1919, of one II. B. Wright of parts unknown. When it was learned that several cars that the mysterious Wright had sold in this section were stolen cars, Mir. Rich informed the late Ralph Young, automobile inspector, hat he, Rich. had bought car from Wright. This led to the investigation that resulted in the replevy of the car by the insurance company that paid the theft loss to the original owner, a Miss Marie Murphy of Boston. Miss Murphy married subsequent to the be- ginning of. the action, and is now Mrs. Marie Beals, wife of Charles W. Beals.
 Mrs. Beals is young woman. She was neatly gowned and wore a modish black veil when she was called to the witness stand. the first to give testi- mony in the ease.
 Mrs. Beals said that she bought the Hudson coupe in Boston and paid $3,- 511.45 for it. On the evening of May 10, 1919, her chauffeur drove her to the Copley Square hotel, where she makes her home, and then took the ear to Hotel Westminster. It was from there the car disappeared.
 Mrs. Beals identified the car found in the possession of Mir. Rich as the car she formerly owned. She knew it by broken seat that had been fixed with brackets, by its having three Goodyear cord tires and Swineheart tire, one of unusual make. and by the numbers on the front part of the frame.
 Mrs. Beal said that the insurance company had paid her the face of her policy, $3,500, and that she ceased to be the owner of the car at that time.
 Harry J. Luce of New York City, an investigator of the Underwriters Detective Bureau, said he came to Putnam and saw the car in the garage of Mir. Rich. He stated that he look ed at the numbers and found that some of them had been changed, bat that secret serial number had not been altered and did not correspond with the other two numbers as 1t did 7riginally. He said that MT. Rich told him that he bought the car from man named Wright and paid $1 900 for 1t, but that at Wrieht's suggestion Rich took receipt for $2,000 as 1t might help him if he ever wanted to sell the car again.
 eDo you know Wright?" asked Att torney Bradford.
 "I know of him." replied the wit ness.
 Do you know his record?" asked the attorney.
 Mir. Torrey: II object"

Embedded IN "lronized
Yeast"
Thin, Weak, Nervous and Dy-
speptic People Find That It
Brings Better and Quicker
Results.

When Yeast is combined with Or
Ennic Iron, as in Ironized Yeast, you
have a tonic and revitalizer in one.
Yeast with its yitally necessary
vitamines aids in building flesh,
soothing the nerves. strengthening
the muscles, promoting digestion
and clearing the skin.
But for QUICK and thorough re-
suits the blood should be enriched
and made stronger in order that it
may quickly carry these wonderful
vitamines and other food elements
to the wasted flesh, the tired nerves
and the weakened muscles.
That is why Ironized Yeast con-
tains the great blood tonic, organic
iron, which is easily assimilated by
the system, and which is found in
limited quantities in spinach and
