VII. NO.1742. NOBWAL'K, CONN, MONDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 15.1897. PBIOE ONEOENT. IS HERE 'AG'AIN. A Patient of Last July Would Like-lithe Money Retui‘ned. Dr. Sweet Said .to Have Failed to Return in Six Weeks. The GAZETTE has always strenuously advocated the “buy at home” idea, and , the reported treatment received by an invalid at the hands of D11. 0. Preston Sweet 15 1a fair'example of the usual re sult w hen the home doctor is abandoned f01 an out of town or traveling physi- clan. The story as told the GAZETTE re- porter is to the effect that when D11. 0. PrestonSweet was in South Norwalk in July lasta certain resident of the town visited his office at the Mahack- emo hotel, and upon receiving the posi- ‘ tive assertion that their- disease could .2 be cu1ed dropped something like $50 into the capacious maw of Sweet’s as- sistant.Afte1 paying over the money a 1equest was made for a guarantee, wheI eupon Dr. Cutler, the aforesaid assistant, remarked, “Why your certi- ficate is a guarantee.” It is needless to add that the'patient’s condition to- day is worse, and beyond being out this large sum of money nothing has been gained by abandoning the Norwalk family physician for this traveling - Dr. Sweet. _ This patient statedto a GAZETTE re- porter that when the money was paid over it was with the distinct under- standing on the part of the patient that Dr. Sweet would return to Norwalk in 1 six weeks. This was last July, and now he turns up in November. The patient further added that the return of the money wduld be acceptable as a cure is further 011 than ever. We are also informed that while in town last July the direct question was .askedythis Dr. Sweet if he was one of the celebrated Sweets of Lebanon, Conn. who were renowned as bone set— ters, and that he hemmed and hawed and answered, “no, not of Connecticut but of Rhode-Island.” It is said that his questioner was well acquainted with the celebrated Lebanon family and had this Dr. Sweet not answered as he did there would have been some fun. A i ' The name, Dr. Preston Sweet, being familiar a search of the GAZETTE files were made with the following result:- In the GAZETTE of June 1877 Dr. Preston Sweet is advertised as from~ Boston with headquarters in New Ha- ven. At that time he was at the N011- walk hotel curing “despairing con- sumptives. ”, He was also advertised as “the noted natural physician in the treatment of diseases of the head, throat and chest, ,3 and “history furnishes but few parallels to equal his Wonderful cures.” Whether this is the same Sweet that is now in town is not known, but the names are quite similar. I It is better fer the people of Norwalk that’they “buy at home” every time. -——-—-—-—-‘0.0>—-——— .—«Ph0tographic supplies at Riggs Drug store. 0 l4 tf -———————-<o’op-——-—~—«——~ Recent Deaths.

Ford Seeley, the well known wheelman,’ is about to bring a suit for damages against the Bridgeport Stand- ard and a. number of other state papers for slander. was conducting a wheel agency in Stamford. He went into insolvency, and was subpoenaed to appear at the 1 egular probate hearing a few days ago. The Bridgepm t Standard spoke of See- ley being an absconder, and said he had left-mnpaid bills in Stamford to the amount of $7, 000. The article stated that MI. Seeley was sp01 tinga number of diamond rings, and that he had to give them up for the benefit of his creditors, and that the court would de- termine Whether Seeley owned the jewelry or not. The article spoke of Mr. Seeley hiding from justice, and said it was thought he had taken French leave, and that the Stamford creditors had been looking for him for several months. The fact of the matter is that Mr. Seeley has been summoned ‘to appear before the customary probate hearing in the insolvency proceedings, and that during the summer months he has been the guest of Edward S. Rapello of Black Rock, and there was never any intention on his part to avoid anyone in Stamford. as there is no gne in that place to whom he owes money.— Brid'geport Farmer. ‘ Escaped Reform School Boy.

Kelley refused tovstop when ordered to by the ser- geant and the latter fired his revolver, striking Kelley in the leg. Then he stopped. Kelley was paroled from the institution some time ago for good be- havior. He was convicted of stealing in this city later and sent back to the school. He broke out with the others a few days ago.

Talent. ‘ __'-!"". About 11 o’clock Su‘hday night com- plaint was made to the South Norwalk . police that burglars had visited _the house of William Johnson at No. 4 Han- ford place. Captain Gladstone and Officer Hall} visited the scene and found that an unsuccessful attempt had been made to entei the house by a window on the. east side of the same, the sash-catch having been thrown back by a chisel or a knife, but the burglaIS w as un- able to raise the window. They then went to a window on the east side of the house where they pur- sued the same plan and were more Suc- I cessful, and gained an entrance. It 13 stated that Mr. Johnson’s family were away at the time. The burglars were evidently fright- ened away as they did not secure much booty, neither did they ransack the house to any extent. The only articles reported as miss- ing were one gold ring with emerald and pearl setting, the inside of the ring being engraved with the word “Friendship,” a small garnet ring and two gold bracelets. V Mr. Johnson, it is stated, has a sus- picion as to the identity of the party who committed the burglary. ——-—--—--..O>—-—.-—-— A FATAL FALL. Nicholas Anderson Goes Down a Cellar- way to Death.
