No_yu Poultry One of the young men who delivers The Norwich Bulletin in Westerly in the early morning unconsclously im- prisoned one of his customers Wed- nesday. The customer is a carpenter, ‘with small shop in the rear end of second-story building in Mechanic street, and directly over a store. The only entrance is by way of a rear tairway. The shop is entered first by a door at the head of the stairway into a small entry, and then by a door directly Into the shop. The first door is fastened on the ouisiap by a book and it is the custom of carrier to lift this hook and drop the ne in the entry when he finds B 0 s e up, he enters the shop through the second door and delivers the paper to the customer direct. On the morning in question the car- rier found the outer door unhooked and the inner door locked. He con- cluded that the customer had not ar- rived, so he left the paper in the en- try, and, as he departed, fastened the outer door. It so happened that the carpenter was In the shop and had neglected to Telease the catch of the lock. In the course of an hour the carpentef dis- covered that he was imprisoned in his own shop. He hammered on the floor to attract the attention of those in the store below, in the hope of being released. The pounding was heard, but no_special attention was paid to it, as there was nothing unusual to aear such noise in a carpenter shop. The windows were too high to jump from and too far removed from the street to enable the prisoner to at- tract the attention of pedestrians. As a last resort. the carpenter re- moved the hinges from the door and gained his freedom. When the car- penter and The Bulletin carrier next met there were explanations on both sides_and they mutuali, agreed upon a basT of 50-50 settiement. At the annual meeting of the South County Poultry and Pet Stock tion these of were_elected: erett A. Brigss, president; John J. Kennedy, Albert E. Spargo, Charles Oppy, vice presidents; Edword Cong- don, ‘treasurer; William C. Mudge, secretary; Reginald Oppy, assistant; Frank Lynch, Ernest J. Willis, H. A. Geary, Andrew Pascoe, John Whewell, Harold Doney, Roger Dunham, execu- tive committee; John J. Kennedy, su- perintendent of hall; Frank Lynch, as- sistant. James Fyffe, 76, the first to open a plumbing establishment in Westerly, died- Wednesday morning at the home of his daughter, Mrs. David McG. Nexvall, in High street. Mr, Fyff came to Westerly in 1886 as foreman for a Providence firm that had con- tract for the plumbing in the Dixon house. then in course of construction. He was an expert workman and per- sonally supervised the plumbing work, which, at the time, was consid- ered to be the equal of any in New ‘England, and Involved an expense of about $75,000. The plumbing is all of lead, and at that time the price was ten cents a pound, war prices still prevailing. After completing the Dixon house contract, Mr. Fyffe_ decided to engage in the plumbing business in Westerly on his own account and had a monopoly of that line of business. He opened a shop In the little buildinzg in Main street, now the Backus Tire shop. and later moved into the Price bu’lding. He continued in the plumbing business here until 1890, when he went to Fort Worth, Tex., but returned in a short while. He then engaged In plumbing in New York city for a time, retired from plumbing, and returned to Westerly.

Mr. Fyffe was a member of Frank- lin lodge, F. and A. M., and Palmer chapter, R. A. M. He is survived by two daughters, Mrs. Newall and Miss Annie Fyffe, of New York city, »nd a sister, Annie, also of New York, and a brother, Alexander Fyffe, of Rahway, X, He was vorn In Dundee, Scot- land. prises the town clerk’s office, polica station, hook and ladder and hoso rooms and a furnished room for mem- bers of the fire company on the ground floor and a hall upstairs. A number of members of the company remained in the room until & late hour Tuesday evening, as is their custom, and it is thought the work was doneé after tho electric lights, which are furnished by the aBitic Mills company, were extin- guished at 2 o'clock.
