In fer to do this it is necessary to hold cars in Dixon square until the rwich-bound cars come from Watch . and to follow the Watch Hill and cars to the Pleasant View witeh, Fourteen carloads of pipe have ar- d this week and the pipe is de- ered by distribution along the trench ine, thus saving expense of cartage. The work of laying the pipe is pro- ressing satisfactorily with a working ‘orce of forty men. This force will = increased on Monday and the work rushed to completion as rapidly as pssible, in ample time for service at “Weekapaug at the opening of the sum- mer season. Yoge Before Judge Oliver H, Will s, In the Third district court at Westerly, Friday, there was a hearing on the case of Thomas Arnold against Charles H. Holdredge, an action in trover and conversion. It is an action to rcover and conversion. It is an action to recover the value of a magneto, $65. It was shown by testimony that an auto. mobile owned by Arnold was_over hauled and repaired in the Barber gar- age and that when the work was fin- ished the automobile was taken to the Holdredge plant to be painted and var- nished. It was claimed that when the automobile was towed to the Holdredgs shop that the magneto was in place, but that when the painting job was completed and the car ready for de- livery, the magneto was missing. The plaintiff, or his witness, made no claim that Mr. Holdredge had converted the magneto, but inasmuch as it disap- - peared or was stolen out of his pos- =ession, that he was personally ' re- sponsible for the loss and should recompense Mr. Arnold. Two witness- s, Mr. Barber and son, testified posi- tively that the magneto was in the car when delivered to Mr. Holdredge. The defendant testified that he never saw the magneto, or for that matter any other special part of the car, as his business was with the paint work and not the machinery. If the mag- neto was In the car when received for painting and was not there when the Job was completed, it was plain that magneto must have been stolen. tnesses for the plaintiff intimated that the magneto had been stolen, but were fully satisfled that Mr. Holdredge ‘wes not a party to any such act. Attorney George R. McKenna, coun- mel for Mr, Holdredge, claimed that if the magneto was really in the car when it was placed in the Holdredge =hop, it had evidently been stolen and, if this were true, Mr. Holdredge was Uneeda Biscuilt A crisp, clean, nutri- tious food.

Samuel H. Davis, counsel for Mr. ‘Taylor, contended that no evidence had been introduced to show that the mag- neto had been stolen and that it was up to the defendant to show that it ‘'was stolen and when and how, and that the burden rested with the defendant to show proof of theft. Mr. Davis insisted that Mr. Holdredge, as bailee, ‘was responsible for the magneto and liable for the loss. Judge Williams reserved decision, There was a runaway in Canal and High street, Friday afternoon, that re- sulted in the injury of two young girls, the complete wrecking of a carriage, damage to another and injury to the runaway to an open carriage, with Elizabeth Arnold and Flsie Mitchell, aged 13 and 12 years respectively, and who reside in the District No. § section of Wes- terly, was being driven down Ralilroad avenue when the animal became frightened by a railroad train and started off at top speed, becoming be- yongé the control of the youthful driver although she had driven the horse for some time. The animal was believed to be of the most docile nature. In turning into Canal street the carriage struck a lumber reach, and the horse sped on. At the curve in front of The Ninigret, the carriage was in collision with a wagon that was standing near the curb and both vehicles were dam- aged. Then the runaway swerved into the middle of the street and the wheels of the carriage struck the trolley raiis and overturned. ‘The two girls were thrown to the pavement and the horse continued down High street. The girls were taken into the Collins millinery store and were given attention. Both were severely § shaken up and considerably cut and bruised. Their faces were cut and bruised and the mouth of the Ar- nold girl was cut and several of her teeth- knocked out. The girls retained consciousness and after being treated for their injuries, notifed John Ar- nold, owner of the horse and carriage and father of one of the girls, who came and escorted them home, The horse was stopped by Police- man Ferguson in front of the Colo- nial club. There was a deep cut in the animal's right leg and there were several minor cuts. The carriage was completely wrecked, pieces being scat- tered from the corner of High and Canal streets to the point where the runaway was captured.
