NEW MILFORD. May 25.—-"iie_
Connecticut courts will not have an
opportunity right away to prosecute
the man who was accused of sandbag-
ging Dr. Henry Hartwell, of Julitl's
Bridge. in August last year. for the
.nillana courts have just imposed a
sentencciof from two [0 fourteen years
on courier Clark, alias “Itcd Austin."
the alleged luluco man. who robbed a
farmer named tli'ofut. of South Bend,

cording to the story told by Dr. Hart—

up lit-live search at the time and trac-
ed the supposed confidence man to
South Beuti, where he had been ar-
rested. 'I‘he case was to have been
tried in the fall and it went over an
ill February. The Connecticut sher-
iff was promised the custody of the
prisoner should the intilana court fail
to convict Clark of the charge against
him. it was not a promising outlook.
as there seemed to be great activity
among Clark's friends to get him out
of the way of the Connecticut officers.
A message just rcccivcd. however.
show that the confidence man failed
to clear himself of the charge and
must now go to prison.
Dr. Henry Hartwell is in fair health
now. although he suffered greatly in
body and mind after losing the 85.000.
The doctor was approached by a man
who claimed to be a member of the
Woodruff family and was asked if he
wished to thrust in some good paying
securities. The stranger was so con-
vincing in his argument that Dr. Hart-
well Went to the bunk here and drew
out 85,000. While returning to his

and the doctor, according to his own
story. was hit oval“ the bend and
dragged from the carriage, and robbed
of the money. The next day he ro-

money at play with cards, and that
if he told the police hill life would be
in danger. A similar letter was sent

was armed. returned the I of. and ap-
parently hit the highwuymen. Throat-

The South Norwalk Fire Department
had a busy day. yesterday, responding
to no less than three alarms within a
period of twelve hours. In addition
to these three there was a small fire
which was entinguished by employees
of the New York. New Haven and
Hartford Railroad Company, and an-
other biaze in Norwalk, which was at.-
tended to by the Norwalk Fire De-
partment. making a grand total of five
fires in the town. il‘orlllnately none
of llio losses were very great. and no
one was injured.
Two of the. alarms came from Box
23. at the intersection of Lowe street
anti Ely avenue, still as the great ma-
jority of fires occur in that neighbor-
hootl. it is hoped the box will not
wvar out from frequent working of the.
mechanism. as it is needed there al-
most continuously.

most, energetic workers at the fire. and
he had a narrow escape from falling

at work in the cupola, and stepped out
of the window upon what he supported

today flout Barry. The exact location
of the yacht was latitude 40.24, longi-

sighted was the German schooner
Hamburg, which had not been sight-

Oneida reported her 13: miles frorn
