There was only one serious actident on the Fourth and that was when Fred. Guilford accidentally discharged a pistol the who'e load entering the palm of his hand.

Waller, judge of the court of common pleas, resumed here on Friday the hearing of the case of William A, Somers against George O. Stead and Patrick J. Morley, which came before him by adjournment from the previous Tuesday. On Monday of this week Mr. Somers and the owners of the Chelsea lunch brought a suit to the superior court at its September term against Mr. Stead and Mr. Morley for §5.000 dam- ages and procured an ex parte man- datory injunction to compel Stead and Morley to take out the obstructions in a chimney that had been used by the restaurant people and is in the wall between the Somers and Stead build- ings on Main street, Franklin square. The*case is now before Judge Waller on a motion hy Mr. Stead and Mr. Morley to have -the temporary injun tion against them vacated, which opposed by Mr. Somers and the own- ers of the Chelsea lunch. Mr. Somers is the owner of the brick block on Main street that was former- Iy owned by Robert P. Sherwood of xas and earlier was owned by Jo- ph B, Truman of Norwich for many Mr. Stead is the owner of the ad- jacent brick block west of the Stead property that many years ago was owned by Joel W. White, a prominent citizen of Norwich. In his day and time he was presiden: of the Mer. chants' National bank, also the No wich and Worcester railroad, and un- der the preSidency of James Buchanan held an important consular office in France. Later the White property fell to the ownership of Mrs. Elizabeth B. Lan- man of Hartford and Joseph O. Knapp of Newburyport, Mass., who conveyed the property to Mr. Stead. Patrick J. Morley is the tenant of Mr. Stead, occupying a hat store in the Stead building for the past 11 years. In 1871 tha Stead land and the Somers land and aiso the land be- tween the Stead property and the Wauregan house were covered by Wwooden buildings occuplied by various parties for stores. In that year a fire took place that destroyed all those wooden buildings from the Wauregan house site east to the Somers lands, leaving the wooden building on the Somers land standing. which was later torn dawn by Mr. Truman. At the time of that fire the Stead property belonged to Mr. Knapp and Mrs. Lan- man. They at once cleared up the ruins and constructed on thé Stead land the present Stead building. The east wall of their new building was _constructed on. their land which at that place adjoined the present Somers land. For years the Stead building was known as the Pierce block and that building was a sub- stantial brick building of four stories in height. In the east wall of the Pierce block there were constructed three chimneys that on the west faced into the interior of the hlock and were four inches inside from the outer face of the Pierce block. It is claithed that there was no opening to those chimneys from the Somers or east side of the wail. The east wall of the Pierce block was car- rieq far above the Toof of the Somers block that was later built by Joseph B, Truman. In_July, 1908, Mr, Stead purchased the Pierce block and is still its owner. Affer the Pierce block was. erected Joseph B. Truman constructed what is now known the Somers block. In doing o it js said that he ploced the timbers supporting his floors into the wall of the Pierce block. Early in the winter of 1909 John Porter of Hartford, the famous. proprietor of the string of Capitol. lunch restaurants in various cities, leased from Mr. Somers the store asd cellar of his building for a Capitol lunch restaurant. It is claimed ‘that Mr. Porter that winter broke on opening through the Stead wall in the cellar and imto one of the three chimneys, where he placed a pipe connected with his restaurant stoves. At the time this was done Mr. Stead objected, it is claimed, to that act as being an infringement of his property rights. Later through the intercession ave been elaborately |« re- | Cass cated N |of the law firm of Gross, Hyde & Shipman of Hartford, attorneys for Mr. Porter, Mr. Stead gave a lease to Mr. Portef to maintain and use that chimney opening for eight years and four momths, for which they paid regularly a monthly rental. That lease pired in May, 1917. At that time and for several years before the Capitol lunch business was carried on by new purchasers of the same, viz.: Brecken- ridge & Fleming. Is March, 1917, Mr. Stead, by his attorney, Joseph T. Fan- ning, gave written notice to Brecken- ridge & Fleming to stop the use of that chimney on May 1, the time when the Porter lease expired. & Fleming obeyed that notice and business from that date. Later, in the fall of 1917, the present owners of the Capitol lunch took possession of that restaurant and _entered the same chimney with the pipe from their stoves. Mr. Stead thereupon ordered them to stop using that chimney, but they continued the use of the chim- ney. In April of this year Mr. Steod sealed up the chimney in the cellar and pre- vented the further use of the same by the owners of the Capitol lunch, now known as the Chelsea lunch. | The main ~uestion in the case now s to the ownership of the wall in h the chimney in dispute is locat- ed. Plans and surveys made by George B Pitcher for Mr. Somers and plans and surveys by C. E. Chandler for Mr. Stead were laid in evidence before Judge Waller and testimony by these two civil engineers was given at length bhefore Judge Waller as to the loca- tion of the Stead wall and the boun- dary line between the Stead and Som- ers property. One witness for the Somers side who occupied the third floor of the Somers Somers building on the third floor had used the chimney in question many ars ago. and another witness testi- when he occupied a Store in the Som- ers building had used the chimney in dispute. been postponed to Tuesday, July in b Morley had done any act or thing re- the cause. without his knowledge. In the trial counsel for Mr. Stead. WIDOW REMARRIES ! Compensation Act—Money Goes Children. In a supplemental finding and award in the workmen's compensation case of Lucy S. De Angelo, and Halbrook, Cabot and Rollins corporation, the em- ployers, Commissioner J. J. Donohue finds that the widow has married again and that she is no longer a dependent act. On -April 20, 1918, she married a Dbrother of her deceased husband so that from that date, the commissioner finds, that two minor children, one three years and the other 13 months old, are entitled to the balance of the compensation. Payments began on Sept. 12, 1917, at the rate of $12.41 per week and these are to be continued until 313 weeks have been paid in all to the mother as the guardian of the children.
