Phe Wakefield postoffice is of the third class and Mr. Stedman has been postmaster for over thirteen years and during that time the gross receipts have more than doubled. A year ago the government made a ten years' lease of the present office quarters, and { the owner completely remodeled the | premises for postoffice purposes. Shortly after midnight of Saturday, the quiet of Dixon square vicinity was disturbed by the sharp report of a re- | volver. " Speciai Officer James Maxwell happened to be the Johnny on the Spot and was not slow in disarming the man with the gun, but the fellow made his escape and was subsequently arrested. Benjamin Hunter, a colored man, and Joseph Sullivan got into a wordy dispute near the lunch cart at Pawcatuck. Deputy Sheriff Casey in- terfered and warned the men that if they did no: desist he would arrest them, and if there was to be any fight- ing it must be done on the other side of the Pawcatuck river. lmmediately the two men crossed the bridge into Westerly, the war of words, and some of them' dirty ones, was carried on to the limit. When near Main street Sullivan advanced. towards Hunter, and as he did so Hunter whipped a re- volver out of his hip pocket and dis charged one shot at Sullivan, firing low. The shot missed its mark, and before there was a chance to fire a ond, Officer Maxwell was grappling with Hunter for the possession of the revolver. After the weapon had been secured by the officer, Hunter made a break for liberty and ran down Main street to his home. Officer Maxwell threatened to shoot Hunter as he ran, but he paid no heed to the threat. A few hours afterward, Officer Max- well and some other police officers went to the Huntir home, arrested Hunter and placed him in a cell in the police station. The facts were report- ed to Harry B. Agard, town solicitor, ind complaint was issued charging Hunter with assault with a dangerous weapon and with carrying a concealed weapon. Local Laconics. Starr Barker has left Wes fred, N.
