Feeling certain that many of the residents of the district will not care see the little old schoolhouse at Stocking’s Corner dismantled or changed into a tenement house, Rich- to ard West of that district this morning a suffi- cient sum to purchase the place at the auction next Monday and use it for a gathering place for people, who live in the neighborhood. As stated in this column, the place will be auctioned off Monday afternoon by First Select- man William H. Gibney. The build- ing was erected about sixty-three vears ago and many, now prominent citizens received the rudiments of their education there. The rise of the Blue Hills district meant the fall of Stocking’s Corner and as a result the attendance fell off until about five years ago, a town meeting voted to suspend classes in that school and have one in the former district, and recently another meeting tinstructed the selectmen to sell the place. Sev- eral bids have been made, but it is thought to be worth more than any de- began a movement to raise cided to put it under the hammer. But Mr. West has been moved by sentiment and feels that there are many others, who hold the opinion that the school will make an ideal cen- | ter for the residents in the neighbor- hood. Many citizens attended the school In the day: he hopes to have several gether and purchase the site. West said this morning he had ferred with several townspeople, re- garding the idea and it seemed to meet with general approval, especial- Iy among those who spent their early schoolhood days in the little building on the corner. He feels cer that when the auctioneer's hammer falls on Monday the place will remain in possession of some of the citizens and the plan will be carried ot “Unfortunately,” said Mr. West this morning, “I could not purch the place myself, because of flicient funds but I know that many will fa- vor the idea and I intend to see them on my way home. back many fond memoric I am sure it does to othe Played & Aaron Moore, ecight ind How- ¥he railroad colony at the water tank, #rd Blue, seventeen, both members of 5 George G.

Gibney, who had received several complaints regarding the card playing among the colony members, he went to the tracks vesterday and saw a number of ne- groes grouped around the two boys. | They had a pack of cards and Blue had twenty-five cents in his hand while Moore possessed $6.25. The other two men in the game had no money and were not arrested. He has received numerous complalnts during the past few days concerning crap and other games being plaved there. He placed Blue and Moore under arrest. Moore said he came here from Portsmouth, Virginia with fifty others to work for the railroad company. He did not know the nature of an oath and said he never received any school- ing. He denied playing poker but sald they were simply having a game of “five-up.” He gave Blue a quarter and the latter purchased a pack of cards and when the new crew of twen- ty-five, which arrived yesterday made their appearance he suggested a game of cards. He and Blue had thelr money out to see if the new comers would play for stakes but when they crtained the latter had no money, they decided to play for “fun’” but Constable Hackett arrived and placed them under arrest. Under questioning, the witness said “We did not play for money because the other boys did not have none and you can’t play for money if you haven't got none.” He was never arrested before and came to this town on July 13 with the rest of the gang. Blue gave similar testimony. He de- nied he had talked over the case with Moore, because he did not know what to say. “I just simply sat in the jail and grieved. I didn’t have no money to play ‘five-up.’ Only had a quarter which this boy gave me. I am sick and if the judge will give me a show TI'll never come back here no more,” con- cluded Blue. Prosecutor Gibney said he had re- ceived several complaints regarding the sctions of the negro colony and sald it was an imposition on the town that the railrond company should quarter the boys so near the depot. The members make a nuisance of themselves. He sald the visit was lplanned to capture some of the older men but unfortunately, the boys were the only ones caught guilty. He said Moore was more to blame than Blue, whom he characterized as a ‘“tool.” Judge Griswold discharged Blue, who immediately ran down Worthington Ridge In a manner that would have done credit to ‘“Ted” Meredith or Howard Drew. Moore was fined $5 and costs, but the fine was suspend- ed on payment of costs.
