BRUCKNER 81 Franklin St, Ciifford Raymend and J. Rosensweig | Rockhill | Dr. Clifford H. Griffith, of Providence, a Witness in $2,400 Suit of Boyle vs. Light & Power Company—D. A. R.| Members at State Conference—Interesting Paper Read to Historical Society. The action brought by Lucy Thorp Bogle against the Westerly Light and Power company occupied the entire time of the superior court for Wash- ington county sitting at Westerly yes- terday, and much expert testimony of a medical nature was presented. Judge Chester W. Barrows presided. The action of Mrs, Bogle is to re- cover $2400 because of the death of her husband, which, she alleges, was caused by injuries received by him when in the employ of ‘the light com- pany. Attorney Davis represents the plaintiff and Attorney Hazard the de- fense. When the case was resumed Thurs- dav morning, continuing fro mthe pre- ceding afternoon, Attorney Hazard, for the defenss, gave a brief outline con- cerning the claims of the defendant company, stating that they maintained the fall which the defendant had while at work on July 30 was caused by a dizay spell due to kidney troubles and that the resulting bruises on his head were of a minor nature. He said that he would show that in the au- topsy over the body held at the Rhode Island hospital, Providence, no direct cause of death was announced. Bxpert medical testimony was given for the defense by Dr. Clifford H. Grif- fith, medical examiner for the city of Providence and to whom the body of Bogle was turned over at the Rhode Island hospital. He stated that Bogle's death was caused by sceptic meningi- tis. In the autopsy he noticed no fracture of the skull and found evi- dence of chronic disease in the left kidney, which, ha asserted. was an old trouble. His kidneys, he helieved, had been affected possibly for several years. Bogle also had an organic dis- ease of the heart, witness stated. In his opinion the injuries on Eogle’ head had nothing to do with the cause of_death. ‘When_questioned as to the possible danger that might accrue from the fali Bogle had, witness stated that a fall of 12 feet'might aggravate the exist- ing condition of the kidneys and would alsturb all of the organs cof the body. A hemorrhage, he said, might occur following a fail such as Bogle had. MYSTIC Farmers’ Institute—Whist House—Mrs. Charles H. dresses Country Club.

The Westerly High school baseball nine, which has been holding regular practice during this week, is very much interested in the makeup of the Stonington nine, which has also com- menced preliminary practice, as these teams have grown during the past two or three years to be keen rivals, Both teams are represented in the inter- scholastic league formed some time ago in Norwich. According to Ston- ington rports the prospects for a good team this spring are the best as only two of last year's experienced plavers and one substitute, are out. These are Gallagher, Kelleher and O'Neil, who are lost by graduation, but there seems to be plenty of material with which to fill the vacancies.

Simple pleasures satisfied the young >ple in the farming_ districts in the 0's. S0's and early 90's. The old schoolhouse at Flat Rock was a social center in those days.

In the winter of 1318 Mcntgomery held a suc in the schoolhouse whni attended by tne young people other distric he next winter even larger class was started, but was soon closed by the serious illness from diphtheria of Mr. Montgome: was little more than a boy time. The same winter a weekly prayer meeting was started by the pasior of the Packerville church at the home of M and Mr Alvin Park, next to the schoolhouse. and the following spring the Flat Rock Sunday-school was or ganized and kept up summers for 20 years. Floral and harvest concerts and one Independence Sunday school oncert were held, when the old school- house was made beautiful by flowers: evergreen and fruit, according to th season.
