He received a severe | bruise in the left temple and another | just over the left eye and complained of paln in the back of the mneck. The elder McCauley was in the back ! seat and he was also thrown out of the automobile with great force. He landed on his side and shoulder and g was considerably shaken up. His in- juries were comparatively slight. Dr. M. H. Scanlon was summoned ! and rendered medical assistance. He brought the injured men back to West- erly in his automobile and they left on the 11.28 train for Providence, Horace Vose, in continuation of his | annual custom inaugurated in 1886, of | sending a turkey for the Thanksgiving dinner of the president of the United States, shipped a beautiful sample of the great American bird to President Taft, by express early Tuesday morn- o ing and the turkey ,dressed in true Vose style, arrived at the White house early this (Wednesday) morning. It was a handsome bird when allve and was one of the finest that Mr. Vose has prepared for presentation to a president. Mr. Vose said there was | no better turkey anywhere. It was plump and without blemish and! weighed a trifle over twenty-five pounds. | Though the parti that petition- ed for a writ of certiorari to quash | the action of the Westerly town coun- cil in declaring the recent vote as be- ing in favor of liquor license, stated | that answer must be made on Decem- | ber 2, no citation has yet been served | upon the members of the town council or town clerk. They have received no official notification that such petition | has been filed with the superior court, | and therefore have taken no notice of | the publication of the alleged petition for a writ of certiorari. Next Friday is the day set for hearing applications for liquor license and unless preventéq by legal precedure, licenses will be granted at that time, Perhaps by December 1, the cars of the Groton and Stonington trolley road | will be run through to Ashaway, thus |2 doing away with the side trips between Westerly and Ashaway. This is in keeping with the through car plans between Watch Hill and Norwich. The | schedules will be so arranged that! connections will be made at the raii- road station with trains on the steam road. Eugene E. Phibrook, a blacksmith, with a shop in Vincent lane, died Tues- | day afternoon at his home in Welch court under peculiar circumstances. He left home MoNiay night at eleven | = Blai o'clock telling his wife that he was go- ing down to lock up his shop. He did not return during the night and Mrs. Phibrick went to the shop to see if he was there. She heard groans in the Sherman Lumber yard adjoining and recognized her husband’s voice. She summoned assistance and Mr. Philbrook was found buried under lum- ber that had fallen over him. He was taken home in an unconscious condition and attended by Dr. Savage. He had sustained a fracture of the skull and was severely cut and bruised. Just before noon he regained con- sclousness and with much effort told Mrs, Philbrook that he went to the shop direct from the house. While in the shop he heard and saw someone moving about in the lumber yanrd and commenced investigation. He sald he ran against a stake, or something else, and the pile of lumber fell over on him. * He shouted for help but none came and that was all he could re- member. Soon after relating the story he lost consciousness and did not rally, but died shortly before three o'clock Tues- day afternoon, Two years ago the only child of Mr. and Mrs. Philbrook, a girl three years old, was killed by an automobile in Main street, and since then Mr. Phil- brook has been greatly changed. He is survived by his widow, three broth- ers, Willlam, of Brunswick, Me., Horace of California ,and Joseph Phil- brook of New York city, and a sister, Mrs. Stella Jackson, of Canada. Upon complaint of Joseph Chesebro, defeated candidate for selectman of the town of Stonington, citation was served on Belectman Henry A. Stahle to appear in the superior court before Judge Shumway ,at New London next Monday ,to shaw cause why he should not relinquish the of- fice to Mr. Chesebro. This action is preliminary to a recount of the bal- lots, based on alleged discrepancies, illegal judgment on disputed ballots. In the recent election Stahle won by six votes over Chesebro, according to the officia] count. Local Laconies. Turkeys are selling in Westerly a.t from 22 to 40 cents a pound ,accord- ing to birth.
