NOVEMBER 17, 1917 Car Off Rails Replaced Early TALKED ABOUT IN WESTERLY Friday Morning—Funeral of Mrs. Thomas Tuite—Three Minute Session of District Court—High School Football Team Overwhelms Ston- ington, 122 to 0—Two State Inebriate Farm Captured. Escaped Men from Norwich Albert B. Crafts, as counsel for him- gclf the plaintiff, and Gardiner, Pierce and Thornley, as counsel for the Me- chanics Saving Bank of Westerly, was before thé supreme court of Rhode Is- d, Thursday and were given a hear- ing by Chief Justice Parkhurst and Judges Sweetland, - Vincent and Stearns. Briefs were submitted on the defendants’ exceptions to the puling of the trial justice of the superior court granting plaintiff's motion for a new trial after a verdict was given for defendant. This is the case brought by Attorney Crafts against the bank, which has been in process of liquida- tion for many years, and which in- volves a claim of $50,000 by Mr. Crafts for services alleged to have been rend- cred for the defendant corporation. With this cage disposed of there is probably an additional dividend for the depositors, it being planned to pay all deposits in_full before the bank is fi- nally closed The state board of public roads sign- ed the contract on Thursday, for the construc’#on of the first piece of fed- eral aid hishway in Rhode Island, about four miles in lensth, which is to be built on the Post road, between sterly and Wakedeld. ‘The con- tract has been awarded Perina and Ca- dario, of Boston, the lowest bidders, for $62,660. The grading and heavy filling will be done this fall, but the constructive road building will not be started until early spring. Dr. Edwin A. Lewis, of Westerly, and the other commissioners of Rhode Is- land Inland Fisheries, were in session at the state capitol, Thursday, and prepared a budget calling far $17,000 for use during the coming year. Of this amount $14,500 is for the general work of the board, _including __the Wickford lobster hatchery. and $2,800 for the Qirard Spring hatchery for trout propagations. The commission during the past year has stocked ffty-four streams, practically evervome in the state. There were 7,813 yearling trout, four to seven inches In length, and 27,725 fingerlings, two to four inches in length, put into the streams. The commission has recelved a complaint of the pollution of a stream in Cov- entry by refuse from mill nlants which will_be investigated and steps taken to stop further pollution. The trolley car from Watch Hill to Norwich due to leave Westerly at 5.45 Thursday evening, jumped the track at Thompson's Corners, all wheels lea the raile, the réar end of the car covering the rails for a distance of two feet. Had the car gone that distance farther on the highway, there would have been no interference with trolley traffic. As it was there was a suspension of trolley travel to and from Watch Hill. The schedule to Norwich from Westerly was_ sus- pended. and the few trips made were from the raflway station. No cars to or from Norwich coming as far as Dixon square .throughout the rent of the night. on the the schedule- was maintained from| early Friday morning. The funeral of Mrs. Mary Tuite, widow of Thomas Tuite, was held on Thursday with a requiem mass in St. Michael's church, the paster, Rev. John J. Fitzgerald, celebrant. After the fipal absolution there were hymns by Miss Delia L. Healey and C. Leo Higgins. Burfal was in St. Michael's cemeter: The bearers were Maurice W. Flynn, Patrick H. Morrison, Will- iam H. Casey, Eugene O'Neil, T. H. Morrison and Michael F. Donohue. Mr.s Tuite has resided in_ Pawcatuck for more than half a century.

Mrs. Tuite is survived by three daughters and one son, Miss Annie L. Tuite, Miss Gertrude Tuite and Mrs. M. E. Driscoll, and John F. Tuite. The train from New London due to arrive in Westerly Friday morning at 7.47, came to a full and unexpected sStop upon nearing the station at Mys- tic. The cause was a black cow on i the track bound to the lot opposite the station. The engineer tooted the lo- comotive whistle, and the cow, stand- ing between the rails, shook its head and sounded the bell strapped about her neck, in response, but did not clear the track. The right of way seemed to be questioned and, with the engine- man, it was a case of kill the cow or stop the train, and the latter alter- native was adopled. It was then that the boy behind the cow appeared and led the animal into the lot and closed the gate. Judge Williams held a three minutes’ session < the Third district court in Westerly, Friday. No civil cases were ready for trial and there was no criminal docket. In the case of Pat- rick Kelly, the village blacksmi against Mrs. Harry J. Wilkins, trl last week, Judge Williams gave judg- ment for the plaintiff to recover $95 and costs of $16. Mr. and Mrs. Wil- kins have separated and the question at issue, was not in regard to the amount due Mr. Kelly for services and materfal rendered, but rather wheth- er it was up to Mr. or Mrs. Wilkins to pay the just bi On the twenty-first anniversary of Phebe Greene Ward chapter, Daugh- ters of the American Revolution, of- ficers were elected as follow Mre.

If the c: is not farther continned to anotrer reseion, it is probable that the trial will be in Westerly. The Westerly High school football team has not been scored against but once during the season, when the Vocationals of New London scored 6 to the victors’ 7. Later the New Lon- doners were defeated 26 to 5. But of all the winnings the one most cherish- ed by Westerly is the game won from the Stonington High sechool Friday af- ternoon, as there has ever been a spir- ited rivalry in athletics between these schools. Both schools turned out in force to see the game and there was mo_ stint to encouraging cheering on either side until the game started, and hen there was no ta peep from Ston- ington. The score, Westerly 122, Ston- ington 0. Encouraged by an unbroken string of victories, the Westerlys will continue in active practice for the drive against Norwich Free Academy and be prepared to meet all comers.
