NORWICH BULLETIN, MONDAY, JUNE 7, 1915 The men who “raze to save and raise to rescue” of the active and veteran list of the Westerly volunteer fire de- partrment, with shining apparatus and natty uniforms, made & decidediy creditable showing in the annual pa- rade and inspection, Saturday after- noon. The residents of the Westerly fire district fully appreciate the effi- clency of the firemen and their unsel- fish devotlon to voluntary duty in case of fire, when life and property is at stake, and therefore cheerfully con- tribute in taxation to provide adequate fire-fighting apparatus, not only in the machines that were in Saturday's pa- rade, but in many other modern de- vices for combatting flames. In this respect, as well as in a§first class ‘working force, the Westerly depart- ment is the equal of any in the state, outside the larger cities. Chief Sam- uel G. Cottrell is a veteran fire fight- er and every man in the department is ever ready to obey the chief, or his representative, and the result is har- mony and efficiency. The Central fire houss, the quar- ters of the three companies of the department was open for public in- pection, from 10 in the morning until £ ¢ in the afternoon and members were : present to escort visitors through the " guarters and explain the fire extin- | uishing apparatus, receiving in return deserved compliment from the visitors. i At 2 ovclock in the afternoon the ‘ mnnual parade was held, the proces- 5 eion forming in West Broad street and going over the customary line of march, making the usual stop in front S of the residence of Thomas J. Ban- ifon, in Pleasant street, where Mr. | Bannon treated the firemen to cool, re- | freshing drinks, a custom he estab- lished many yvears ago. On the return ;'-0 Dixon square, the firemen were { offictally inspected by Chief Cottrell, the band playing Hail to the Chief, | followed by the formal dfsmissal of the ! parade. The procession was com- Posed wholly of local organizations ,and was made up in this order: [ Platoon of fire police, Captain John | M. Himes and Lieutenants Philip and Henry Burk.

Miss Margaret O’Brien, for several years in charge of a department at the Opie store, died suddenly Satur- day in her home on Spruce street, while seated in a chair and talking to Dr. John L. May, who had been summoned to attend her, Miss O'Brien had complained of illness for a few days, but it was believed to be of a trivial nature. As she did not im- prove Dr. May was called. Death was probably due to a disease of the heart. She was the daughter of Michael O'Brien, and is survived by her fath- er, and three brothers, Patrick H. O'Brien of New London, Rev, Thomas O'Brien of Providence and Louis O'Brien, and a sister, Mrs. McGowan, of Westerly. William H.

That Hart-Brown case is being dragged along through the roughest of legal lanes, and if the end is not soon reached there will not be enough left of the property at stake for the bene- ficiary to buy a ticket to a circus side- show and the proverbial bag of pea- nuts. Elijah Morgan, a former county. commissioner and prominent politician, as well as farmer and iceman, died several years ago, leaving his property in"0ld Mystic in trust for his son Earl, end to be delivered to him when he became 25 years of age, and he has at- tained that age. The property has not been delivered, but instead has been in the legal meshes for over three years. John L. Hart, a son-in-law of Mr. Morgan, is executor of the estate. His residence is in Elroy, Minn., end he is desirous of fylfilling the terms of the trust, but is prevented by Wiltred E. Brown, who occuples the property and declines to leave, claiming that he leased the premises with privilege of purchase, and is ready to fuiflll his part of the agreement. Mr. Hart claims that Mr. Brown has no lease of the premises, and that if thers was any agreement as to purchase it terminated at the end of the first year of Mr. Brown’s occupancy of the Morgan place. The action now being handled by the lawyers is to dispossess Mr. Brown on the ground that he has no lease of the premises, inasmuch as there 1s no lease or agreement on the part of the executor to sell the property to Brown recorded in the town clerk’s office. This matter was threshed out in the superior court before Judge Curtis, Who' gave decision that no lease exist- ed, but did not give any judgment in regard to the dispossession of Brown. This gave opportunity for continued proceedings that have been in progress ever since. Several weeks ago the case was tried before Justice of the Peace Hemen J. Holdredge and a jury of six men. This 30c and 50c tins. jury disagreed, the vote fi e 1 Tavor obiEat N e is to be given another hearing before Judge S. E. HolMredge and another jury of reputable men. It is stated that no matter what the verdict may be, there is lable to be an appeal and the dis- possession feature, the main feature, ‘e brought direct to the superior court. Senator Benjamin H.

They trample over gar- dens, ring door bells, place tick-tacks on the window panes, place trip-up ropes and hat-catching strings across sidewalks, and play all the prank: known to mischievous boyhood.
