ens Dead. Striped bass are ve “ree in this | shore of Block Islard. During the eek, however, William Barber Otis Chapman seined off Fishers Island in a single haui, a school of 16 striped bass, the record catch for a number of vears in this section, vary- ing in weight from ten to fifty pounds, the market price being thirteen cents - a pound for the larger and thirty-five " cents for the smaller fish. Captain James Barber, brother of William, and a medal of honor man .. of the Civil war and a life-long fish- erman, said this catch was a remark- ably good one for these times, but that he had often taken in five tons .~ Of striped bass in a single trip. Fifty or sixty years ago, he said, striped bass were caught in the Pawcatuck river in large numbers. These fish used to winter in the river, and he and other fishermen used to catch them from under the ice, but now a striped bass in the Pawcatuck river is as = scarce as eels’ feet. Captain Barber says there seems to be a scarcity of all fish in season; in the vicinity of Block Island there is almost a famine of edible fish and hardly enough are landed to supply the hotel tables. The veteran soldier and fisherman added that there is a mighty big difference in the fishing of fifty or sixty years v ago and that for the past ten or fifteen years the fishing is_ hardly worth ‘while.

Wi by Hughes, Jr., of Prg\ndq-m., Mr- Hughes and their child as passen. . gers, was in collision with Fred Rif- fenburg of Ashaway. The latter was riding_a bicycle, at what is termed Dear Man's Curve on the Potter Hill road, near the residence of James Murphy. “The collision was of such force that Riffenburg pitched head- feremost through the windshield and -~ landed in the small automobile with great force, sufficient to break the steering gear and to break some of Mrs, Hughes’ teeth and cut and bruise her face. Mr. Hughes and the child were not injured. Mr. Hughes con- tinued tq Westerly, where Mrs. Hughes was attsnded by Dr. Crandall. Shortly after the collision Dr. Web er happened along and assisted Rif- mburg, bringing him to Westerly, and summoning the assistance of Dr. May. Riffenburg is 19 yvears of age. He' received deep lacerations about the head and his side and arms were cut and bruised.
