In popuiation the entire town of, Westerly is about one-third the size of the vity of Norwich, but Westerly vil lage, where the postoffice is located, 15 away behind Norwich in the number and importance of outlyingl districts. The year just past has been a banner one for the governmental department over which Postmaster William Caru- thers presides, but due consideration given physical conditions, Postmaster Butler's office in Westerly is well up to_the Norwich standard.

In the Norwich postoffifice the receipts for the year were $13,529.40, an in- crease over 1912 of $6,850.1, not three times larger than the increase in the Westerly postoffice, though the terri- ( tory and population of Norwich post- office is proportionately larger.

I. now a resident of Arctic Center, while residing in North Kingstown, nearly ago found guilty of taining a liquor nuisance and was sentenced to 30 days in the Providence county jail and to pay a fine ot 5200 and costs. He served about nine nonths at Cranston. While in the Kingston commitment to Cranston, agreed with nic Weaver, who had been stopping s place, fo care for his colt and 1 a basis that the use of th colt P roduct of the cow would pay for their keep and net Weaver a profit. A Wwitness to the verbal agreement in the ¥ ton jail was Warren Coon, awaiting transportation to Cranston jail for maintaining a liquor nuisance in Westerly. Weaver claimed he was privileged to sell the cow. Weaver subsequently sold_the cow to Thomas Steadman and Steadman sold to Abraham Brenner, the pur- chase being made in good faith. . When Holberton was released from jail he went in quest of his colt and cow. He secured the horse from Weaver and learned that the cow was the possession of Brenner and that there was also a calf ‘with the cow. Holberton demanded the cow of Weav- er, received response that the cow iwd been 1en demand was made upon Steadman. Holberton and Stead- men then went to the Brener place, nd Steadman offered to pay the pur- “hase price back for the cow, advising Brenner to comply and thus avold trouble for all concerned. Brenner said he would make no definite reply until he consulted a lawyer, declaring that the cow had been In his possession for six months, was kept at a loss and that he was entitled to more than the bargain price, 330, which he paid for e cos The trial of the case occupied over thre hours, and Judge Williams ren- ! dered judgment for the plaintiff. The broken rail that caused the wreck of the Shore Line express train near Westerly has been found to be quite brittle, ‘breaking instead of bending under stress, and that the rafl is full of fissures, upon investigation by the United States bureau of standards. The bureau has not yet completed its work with the rail, but will make re- Dort to the interstate commerce com- mission as soon as possible. The re- port will be an illustrated document, showing the rail in detail as the cause of the wreck. Next week a large gang of wood fin- hers will commence work on the in- terfor of the new postoffice bullding. Now the date for completion is fixed at February 14. The new Pnnxfllcn will have 374 letter boxes and drawers, subdivided os follows: 276 boxes at 60 cents a quarter, 32 at 75 cents, 48 at work. - 3 Sl il 5 = m A. Taintor post, G. A. R, Thomas W.
