HUSBAND NOT WANTED

Flora Auclair Only Concerned At Absence and Where

Mother of Seven Children Is a Busy
 Woman

The evening of April {, Albert. hus- band of Flora Auclair, Zs2 Church street. Putnam, left his bed and board for parts unknown. When he left he went in a even-passenger Buick ear which Mrs. Auelair says belonged to her and which she says she paid for, or had nearly paid for, to be exact. Mrs. Auclair ls now much concerned, not about Albert, but about the Buick.
 Mrs. Aue!air vas seen by Patriot representative in her little store m the southeast corner of her Church street house, Wednesday afternoon. es, she was willing to talk. And she did. She told the reporter all about her nus band leaving. and emphasized To a greater degree the leaving of the ear.
 One might think that cars are much more difficult to get than husbands, II | listening to Mrs. Auelalr IT vas very apparent that, to her way or ] thinking, some husbands were even harder to get rid of than to get When asked if she did not want her husband 1 to return, Mrs. Aueiair said that If he would send the car back he could stay away forever if he wanted to. Mrs: Auciair also admitted that she had had warrant made out for her husband g arrest. "I don't want Co make him any trouble" she said, "but l want my car"
 Mrs. Auclair said that she had been married eighteen years and that she IS the mother of seven children. She ln= iimaied that during her married life she had supported all but her husband all of the time. and him a part Q. the time. 4 few years ago she caused his arrest for non-support, and he appear ed in the Putnam city court.
 And Mrs. Auclair Is well able Co support her family. She Is certainly energetic and not afraid of work. Long hours mean nothing to her. Up at 5 a. m, her first duty IS to take out her car--she has another one now and take a number of customers of hers to the mill at Goodyear. For this she holds a public service license. She goes after them again at night. This is one source of income.
 She also has a number of lodgers and takes care of the rooms. Then there are the seven children, some old enough to work however. Housework and cooking are in the days rodtine During her spare" time she tends store.
 Mrs. Auclair at once impresses the observer as being capable to take care of herself and also of a family. And she is She even owns the house where the family live l. was a former mill tenement but she has had a piazza built on the front, it has been re painted and Is q modern dwelling Inside fl is neat and clean.
 It would be breach of confidence to state what this woman's income ii but 1t would put to shame many a mar who hanrs about the streets saving there is nothing to do in Putnam Mrs. Auclair Is making good money more than the average man. and ap pears to be enjoying working for it There has been peace in the house hold since the husband left, she says but she does want that ear back.
 When questioned about the matte che police admitted that they hold warrant for the arrest of Auelair ol 4 charge of larceny.

E. E. Ter~iiiixer. South killingiy
 Saved Miikmsn's Life

F. Terwilliger of South Killingly probably saved the life of Sylvio Gau- thier. q milkman. and also his own life. by taking the life of a crazed negro hold-up man who appeared on the Daniels0n- Providence pike. Mon day morning about eight o'clock. Lat CT 1t was found that the negro was Joseph Johnson of Providence, who, those who knew him said, came from BaltimSre and had been in Providence a year.
 Hurled Large Stones
 The man tried to stop automobile drivers and hurled large stones al them when they did not stop. Gau- thier came along and found the negro standing in the center of the highway lade of stones which he dodged as he he approached. Gauthier drew his car to q stop and was beset by a fusi- jade of stones which he doded as he ran around the light truck. The as- sailant kept shouting, Give me your gun as he chased the frightened man about The negro reached under the seat of the truck and took out an au- tomobile jack and resumed his chase.
 Help Arrives
 At this period Mir. Terwilliger came along. He instantly responded to Gauthier's cry for help. Terwilliger's appearance seemed to further infuri- ate the negro. He rushed at Terwil- tiger, abandoning his attack on Gau- thier, and struck Terwilliger over the head with the jack before Terwilliger could do thing to defend himself. Stunned by the blow, which cut through his cap and opened a long gash on the top of his head. Terwil- tiger drew his revolver and fired two shots at the desperado to drive him of, not trying to hit him. The an- swer was another rush that Terwilli- ger tried to stop by firing a bullet di- reetly at the fellows heart It was a deadly accurate shot, but failed to stop the attacker. who again struck Terwlliger on the head w..a the jack while another bullet from the revolver lodged in the negro's right hand The bullet wounds the madman had re- ceiyed were weakening him by this i time, and the fight evolved into a struggle between the men for tho | jack. TerwilliRer finally wrenched Il free and struck his attacker over tht head with t a couple of times, felling hIm.
