WESTERLY'S BIG INSIII]ANGE CLAIMS| Life Policies Aggregating 3134,000 'Paid During 1912— Neighbors’ Fourth of July Quarrel Settled In Stonington Court—Real Estate Aucuoned—Motorcycle Theft Prob- ~ ably By Boat. i B — Attorney George R/ McKenna, of |Daid to tne news or Bngelhardt C. Pawcatuck, prosecutor of the town |Ostby, of Providence, who lost his court of Stonington, was busied Sat- |life on the Titanic. urday with the case of the state St Ade against Captain Benjamin C. Chese- An Indian motorcycle was stolen bro, with Attorney Rathbun, of Wes- terly as counsel for accused. This case is an outgrowth of the Fourth of July celebration in Stonington. Dr. H. F. Thurber as the complainant alleges that he was assaulted by Captain Chesbro. The doctor and the captain are neighbors and the docior dis- charged a brass cannon such as is used on yachts. The discharge jarred the windows of the Chesbro home and caused Mrs. Chesbro to become quite nervous. This was in the afternoon and the captain requested the doctor to cease firing as it affected his wife and caused her to have fainting spells. In the evening the doctor commenced firing again and the captain asked the doctor to desist, but was informed that the firing would be continued and without let-up unless a doctor’s cer- tificate was produced to the effect that Mrs. Chesbro was sick. Some lively talk ensued and, according to the tes- timony, the doctor pushed the cap- tain away. Then the captain into the street and the doctor came at him with the evident intent of striking the cap- tain. The latter awaited his coming and when he got within arm’s length the captain dealt the doctor a blow similar to those that made the Ben- jela boy famous. The result was the arrest of Captain Chesbro on the charge of assault. The captain was arraigned and pleaded not guilty and furnished a bond for appearance in court last Saturday. He pleaded that he was not the aggressor and struck Dr. Thurber in self defense. These citizens of Stonington testified as to-the peaceable disposition of the captain: Judge I.. D. Fairbrother, Dr. C. O. Maine, William'P. Bindloss, F. P. Teed. E. S. Chesebro, Francis C. Davis, Pugene P. Hyde, and Arthur Chesabro. .while Julian J. Willlams, Manual Clay, F Richardson; Wil- liam Birchall, Dr. C. O. Main and the defendant testified on the merits of tne defense. The witnesses for the state were Dr .and Mrs. Thurber, Miss Sophia Thurber and Mr. and Mrs. Wil- llam HYIL After long arguments by the attor- neys. Judge Breed adjudged Captain Chesbro not gullty and he was dis- charged. Acting as attorney for Captain G. R. Watt, master of schooner John W. Dana, now in Stonington harbor laden with lumber. Judge Herbert W. Rath- bun, has issued a writ of attachment against the Durden-Coleman Lumber company, of Savannah, Georgia, to re- cover for demurrage and a freight hill of $300. The defendant is owner of the cargo which is consigned to the " Sherman Sons company, Wes- The service was by Deputy rigg Frederick T. Mltchell, who at- tached a plle of lumber at the Sher- man wharf. The writ is returnable August 25, to the superfor court for Washington county. The Dore house and lot at the cor- ner of Williams and Palmer streets was bid in by William A. Wilcox Fri- day afternoon for $4,800. Saturday af- ternoon the partially burned residence of Margaret Conroy in Rocket street, with lot, was auctioned off and pur- chased for $200 by Anson F. Surber, a Civil war veteran, who Is entitied to exemption of taxes to the amount of $1,000. This is the house where the fire started a few weeks ago and spread to several other houses In Summer street, two of which were damaged considerably. The Conroy house is a large two-tenement frame building. The root was completely burned off and the upper tenement hadly burned. The owner was pald a fire loss of $2,450, Two other dwell- ing houses are td be fold at auction during the present week, ore of them in a very desirable locafion. Tl\. drought is affecting business in the Hope Valley section and while the rain of Friday night helped the crops to some degree it was not sufficient to give much rellef to the mills, which are In great measure dependent upon water for manufacturing purposes. Locustville pond is almost as low as it has been in many years. A serfes of heavy rainfalls is necessary in or- der to relleve the situation. Westerly heads the list in claimants for life insurance in the towns of Rhode Island for the year 1912, re- celving $134.000 of the $2,750,000 paid in the state. These sums were paid to clalmants in other towns, which re- celved more than $10,000: Cowesett, $103.250: Edzewood, $28,260; East Providence, $25,250; Warwick, $22,250; Jamestown, $20,250; Phenix 320,250 Warren, $20,25 Tiverton, $19,250 Middletown, 134.500; Peace Dale, $14,- 500; Barrington, $10,500; Oakland Beach, $10,500.

The theft was discovered when Mr. Murphey went to his store Sunday morning and missed the new machine. Entry to the store was made with t'e aid of a skeleton key as the door was locked as usual Sunday. As a sKiff is missing from the launch of Ired Barber, it is believed the thieves came Westerly in a motor boat which v moored in the Pawcatuck river. v probably placed the motorcycle I the skiff, then went to the motor boat and went away. The theft has been reported to the police in other sec- tions. A lady residing in a house adjoining’ the Murphey store saw two men. a tall and a short one, in front of the store just before midnight. She later saw them with a motorcycle going down a lane that leads to the river. but_she failed to telephone the facts to the police. As the theft was not known to Mr. Murphey or the police until Sunday morning the thieves had opportunity to get quite a distanc from Westerly without detection. The number of the stolen motoreycle is 40E57T. Local Laconics. Lieutenant Conant Taylor, United States navy, is spending a leave of au- sence at hig home in Westerly.
