Dunn, of | sion of the superior court dismissing Westerly, has brought a $25,000 dam- fze suit against Job Thorp ‘and Mrs. Thorp, as an outcome of the _case, which will probably be revealed as sliemating__the affections of her daughter, Mary Dahood. The writ is returnable to the superior court for Washington county, October 24, and Judge Herbert W. Rathbun wiil rep- resent the defendants. This is an outcome of the probate court proceedings wherein Mr. Thorp was appeinted guardian of the person and estate of Mary Dahood, nearly the case when Mr. and Mrs. Thorp were haled into that court on a copias for illegaily holding Miss Dahood in their custody. Since this court ac- tion, Mrs. Dahood has written letters to her Gaughter and to Mrs. Thorp, making veiled assertions to the paren- tage of the girl, and Mrs. plainly stated that she did not co sider the, girl as her daughter. The sirl's brother, Michael, has also writ- ten to Mrs. Thorp giving his views of her action, of the ungratefulness of his sister, and intimating that his = practical, compact and FOR YOUR 'SOLDIER BOY .mmmi‘""""‘“; g v At last those MILITARY MIRRORS have arrived—25c each—also the Kits containing * Brush, Comb, Mirror, Etc.—others containing Toilet Scap, Talcum Powder, Shaving Soap. .

Dahoon| | mother would give all her money and even ner life in this struggle. These letters were read by Judge Rathbun in_the probate court, at the time of the appointment of Mr. Thorp as_guardian. This is the case before descriped in The Bulletin, Miss Dahood wheh_ five ears of age was placed in the Rock Nock Home, Norwich, and, according to the testimony of Mrs' John C. Averill, was practically abandoned by her mother. Seven vears ago the girl was placed in the Thorp family and she was treated as a member of the family, given an education and grad- uated from the Westerly High School and i3 now engaged teaching school. Miss Dahood toldWhe court that she did not want to go to New York with ber mother, but desired to remain in the Thorp family, where she had been mere than nicely treated, and that if she were the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thorp they could give her no better care. Mrs. John Johnson has brought a suit in -trespass and conversion, through her attornev. Samue! H. Da- vis, ageinst Alfred H. Chapman, in which damage of $300 are claimed. Mrs. Johnson owned a small car and Mr. Chapman a large touring car. The plaintiff claims, that Chapman hired her car to go to Mystic, but instead he drove to Narraganseit Pier, and that on the return trip the car was Garfiaged. Mr. Chapman declares that whi he engaged the car from Mrs. Johnson that he aid rst say he was to take a ride to Mystic, and stated no route or destination. The writ is returnable ‘to the Third District court, and Mr. Chapman will be defended by Judge Rathbug. ) n tents of that bill board, near the post office and surmounted with an- elec- trically lighted American flag, were eradicated. This attractive bill board was first utllized in connection vith the “Red Cross money-raising campaign. and the amounts pledged day by day were announced by the thermometer plan. First the sum alotted for Westerly was fixed at $: 0 but when the sum reached $29, 88 at the end of the campaign, the brush artist . spattered red paint all over ¢he board, indicating that the thermometer had been taxed, that the bulb had bursted and the red mer- | cury released. For more than a month the wreck- er thermometer has been covered over and in its plate announcement made that the pledges called for a first pay- ment by August 1, and urging the de- linquents to call at ihe captain’s of- fice and make good the pledges. Many of the pledges are a month overdue, and like the American flag, the announcement is still there, in red. and black on a white = back-ground. Townapeople understood the situation. and knowing those who pledged to pay agreed amounts, firmly believe the pledges will be made.good, sometime. Tt does not apgur well for the ap- tritoism of the people of the town in that special campaign, however, for visitors to see the announcement on that bill boatd that the voluntary con- tributors herd failed to make pay- ment as agreed. < Members of the South County Rod and Gun club will participate in_the trap shooting of the Rhode Island Fish and Game Protective sociation at PRSERERRE R, L T Crescent Park, William J.
