R. Chapter. Bonfires in the streets of Westerly are strictly prohibited, but in spite of police vigilance there are portable bonfires on presidential election nights, regardless of party victory. These matters are privately ar and sprung upon the public unexpectedly. Within a few minutes after the stroke of midnight from the bell in the tower of the old town hall five dilapidated vehicles, soakea.with kerosene and gasoline, bearing hoxes and barrels, and oil treated, were rushed through Dixon square, drawn by willing young men, and when the police appeared the young fellows made their escape, and left the burning pile, just where abandoned, to burn itseif out. So at cne time the portable became station- ary bonfires, and election night was celebrated In the real old-fashioned way, just as prevailed in Westerly in the days when uniformed policemen were unknown in_the: town. These fires in thegfirst hour of Wed- nesday comprised ®he complete cele- ‘bration, and there was no jeering, or hooting at the police, and there were no minor assauits on these minions of the law such as prevailed on the’ elec- tion night of eight years ago. Then |a large mob surrounded a uniformed policeman, a solitary policeman, and cowardly defied him, threw smal mis- siles in his direction, including hen fruit, so called. That sort of rowdyism was missing night before last, as the crowd was good natured, out for a jolly time, and the police realized the con- dition and made the best of it, and without the exercise of over-officious- ness.

Mrs. Frank Gallimore and son Keith of Monroe, Mich., are visiting at the home of Mrs. Gallimore's parents in Tower street. They were accompanied by Miss Josephine Sullivan, who has been in Monroe for the past four months. The vote in Westerly revealed the ocrats in Westerly to form a party on- ganization. According to the vote there are 599 who favored Wilson as against 918 republicans, That would menn that their strength is within 319 of that of the republicans. Up to elec- tion day the minority party was given but iittle consideration. A prominent republican remarked Weinesday: “There are three times as many dem- ocrats in town as I thought there were, and unless there be reform in party management I believe there will be more!” - MYSTIC Death of Mrs. Stillman Gilpatrick— About $1,500 Realized from Odd Fel- lows’ Fair—Drawbridge Open Too Long at Noon.
