MMRMDmedeumdimtquhn Days 'and' Costs — Bedbugs Ennis, charged with larceny in l $66 from the Bradford ticket office. the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company, after a night in a prison cell, was urgadw:; Ch’i:gBrnwn to tell the truth, il M the stolen money could be and thereby save his father the buzden of paying from his hard- earped savings the amount taken from m ruilroad company. The young fel- Jow finally wilted and told that the money was hidden under a tin pan in the attic of his home and described the exact location where the money could be found. Chief Brown went to Brad- ford and recovered the stolen money. Ennis was called up for sentence be- fore Judge Oliver H. Williams in the Third district court Friday afterncon. ‘The judge talked to the accused, point- u' out the error of his way, suggest- proper remedy for true reform, uul referred to the love of a father and mother to a wayward son, and of the d'vvtlun of sister and wife.. All mat ters connected with the case had been glven consideration and under the c. the maximum penalty was not imposed. Ennis was sentenced to 2 term of 30 days in the Providence county jail and to pay the costs. The extreme penalty for the offense is one year in jail or $500 and costs, or both. Among the appropriations made at the flumml uwn meeting was one of for the transient poor, the first of z» kind ever made in Westerly, and, h‘.nlh-ted means a fund for the care of tramps. It i4 in a sense different from al other appropriations inasmuch as the real expending of the same will not be by any of the town officials. It is in reality an appropriation to the People’s mission located in Pawcatuck, in the town of Stonington, and is in- tended as Westerly’s proportion of the expense of the care of tramps who vis- it the twin villages. Since the estal lishment of the police station in the mew town hall there is no place in the village of Westerly for the housing of Ilm nor is there any place in just over the river, except | u the Peopie’s mission, which is sup-} by private contributions. | ’x'n.nu- that would in the course of | events come under the jurisdiction of Westerly for a night's lodging have been piloted to the mission and it is| but fair that the town of Waesterly should pay a part of the cost of ac- | commodation. Hence the appropria- tion for the transient poor. It seems unfair for the town of Stonington to saddle the traveling gen- #ry upon the mission, which needs all the money that comes to it for its regular charitable and Christian work. was a case of crawling interest Thbre in the Third district court Friday,| wherein a bedbug-infested tenement featured the testimony, and resulted in an offset for the defendant by reason of the vermin and the cost of material used in attempted purification of the prIlefl The case was that of Charles egainst William Baird, an ac- tlan to recover $14 for one month’s rent of a tenement in Main street.

Clarence Maxson and Wayland A, Saunders from the Wes- terly town council, the people are gradually realizing that they have lost the public service of a trlo experienced in the management of town affairs and who devoted much of their time for the advancement of the town.
