Shoot;tafiom'ik. & Fourth of July was observed in Westerly along the same lines as on ‘any other holiday, by z general sus- nsion of business and a day of recre- ion. It sure was a safe and sane celebration—the day after as well as the night before and the day itself. The 1 peace and quiet was not even disturbed by the discharge of re- volvers or the explosion of firecrack- ers, for the laws regulating the old- time noise-making celebration were strictly observed. There was an un- usual noise, however, on the morning of July Fourth, ‘when the siren of a motor-driven firé apparatus was heard for the first time in Westerly, and it attracted much attention among those It was the machine from Mariboro that was rebuilt from the Cyclone chemical and hose wagon: into a motor-driven ap- paratus, to be the first for the depart- mient of the Westerly fire district. The machine came down High street, with siren blowing, and was going at a 35/ mile an hour clip.| It swished through Dixon square and made a quick turn up Union street to the fire house. There the apparatus ‘was closely inspected | and the genefal opinion was that it, was a thing of beauty as well as of | thorough efficiency. Chief Samuel G, Cottrell, Assistant! Chief Harry Ceyle and James Max- Well, who is to be taught as one of the "drivers, went .to Providence by railr where the demonstrator met ! them with the machine, and started on | the return trip to Westerly. This trip was' made without a hitch. The run, was considered a satisfactory test, the distance and the general conditions be- | ing more than will ever be required | from the apparatus fn fire duty in!.

The tires are of the pneumatic order, with single in the rear as in the front, whieh is believed to be adequate for the ser- vice, as there are but\{ew fire alarms in Westerly. The fire district made an appropria- tion of $6,000 for the conversion of the two horse-drawn wagons into motor- driven apparatus, but the committes for the sum of about $1,000 less pur- chased an entirely new machine and had the combinatior. wagon satisfac- torily converted. < Westerly fire dis- trict has now a finely equipped de- partment, as good as there is in aumy other place of the size, and the men of the department are ever ready to give the very best possible service. There are least three beld and bad men resident in the Bradford sec- ion of the town of Waesterly, for it is the general belief that they are the same who robbed David G. McG. New- all of his payroll of his granite indus- try to the amount of $2,300 about three years ago, -and who more recently, up- on peing disappointed in not connect- ing with the payroll of the Crumb quarry, set fire to one of the main ,buildings, contalning much valuable machinery, which resulted in the loss of about $13,000. It is also believed that it was this same trio who commit- ted_highway robbery and shot a man in Bradford early Friday evening, The bandits took up 1?o-mcm alongside a narrow path in the woods over which the quarrymen used to make the trip 15 and from their homes and the quar- y-as a short cut from the main high- way. As the men came along this nagrow path in the thick woods, walk- in} Indian file and considerable dis- tance apart, the three bandits appear- ed, wearing black masks and false black beards. With revolvers in hand they first held up Charles Puccio, tell- ing him in his native tongue that if he made any noise they would shoot him. To the demand for-money Puccio said he had none, as payday was on | Thursday on account of the diy off on the Fourth, Friday being the regular payday. Puccio was searched and or- dered to go on home and Was threaten- ed with death if he turded back or made any outery. Joseph Vero was the next to come along, and he was held up and re- lieved of the $2 he possessed and or- dered to proceed under penalty of death. Next came Sondi Minthro, and from b the bandits took $10, and he was Ordered on under the same Denalty as those that had preceded. Then came Michael Calpalbo, who told the bandits he had no money and ex- postulated with them in loud tones, that brought threats from the bandits tones equally as loud. This loud talk attracted the attention of Domi- nick Vero, who was cutting brush with an axe over the path that had been traveled by the men that were being heid up. Vero, with axe in hand, immediately started down the path. When he came wit hailing distance he demanded to know what was the trouble, swing- ing the axe as-he proceeded. He ad- vanced but a few steps farther when four shots were fired at him, one of the bullets taking effect in right leg about. midway between the knee and thigh. The masked bandits then made their escape-through the woods. Thé shooting attracted a number of n who, upon learning what had opened, started in pursuit of the robbers, Hut without result. The wounded man was taken to his home and attended by Dr.- Marr, but the builet could not be located. He w taken to the Rhode Isl- where, with the aid of | tllet was located and ently el of Police Brown was notified of the holdups and shooting and with several other officers went to Bradford in automobiles and searched the woods and highways for the bandits.
