Two automoblles collided Saturday af- ternoon about 2.45 o'clock, at .the cor- mer of North and Valley streets. An Essex touring car, owned and driven by Charles H. Evans of Storrs, Wwas con- siderably damaged. Mr. Evans was pro- ceeding west on Valley street and had reached the middle of the intersection of the streets when a Buick touring car owned by Alexis Caisse and driven by his son, Arthur Caisse, came out from a Dblind corner of North street from the south and turned to go into Valley street in the same direction as the Evans car. The Caisse car took the corner wide and forced the ‘Essex into the gutter on the north side of Valley street. The ferder and hub of the right wheel of the Calsse car struck the rear left wheel of the Evans car which caused it to colllde with a tree. The left side of the Eséex was badly dam- aged. The affair was reported at police headquarters. The Essex was towed to Leonard Bres’ for repairs. Dr. George Wilcox of West Main street, Saturday morning, saw one of his fine large turkeys run over. Then he saw the driver, in an.army uniform, run back, pick up the gobbler and make off with his prize. Mrs, Wilcox looked out just in time to see the car ‘which came along at a tearing rate of speed plunge into the flock which had just started to cross the road. The turkeys lost mo time in scattering but ome of thelr number was left behind. Then the car was stopped down the road and the man ran back and got the turkey, Mrs. ‘Wilcox' shouted to him from the window but the man took no heed and the car was soon speeding toward this city. Considerable interest has been awak- ened by the recent feat of the Mathien twing, Ethel and Clare, ten-year-old daughters of Mr. and Mrs Hemry J. Mathieu of No, 340 Ash street, in swim- ming the length of Lake Wangumbaug, South Coventry in record tlme, Several newspapers and pictorial concerns have written for pictures of the twins to be used in magazines and illustrated pe- rlodicals.

Signs had been put up accordingly to warn all from loiter- ing on the grounds. Deputy Judge L. D. Fairbrother held court and Prosecut- ing Attorney M. J. Hewitt for the State Vailey Co..

Leon James of Hope Valley was at his home on Clift street Sunday. While Wequetequock residents slept, | tertaining Mrs. Zuises and daughter of | The car then made its way over wall about four feet high and landed in a brook on all four The driver got his feet wet | while climbing out of the car. Luckily for him the brook was shallow. The driver was on his way from New York to Boston and mistook the tracks for the road as the trolley tracks branch off here from the highway and there are no guide posts to mark the way at that point. The driver must have gona about 200 feet on the tracks as the marks of the wheels showed the left rear fender of the car came in contact with a tree as the bark was torn off. The machine evidently shot along the embankment at the side of the trolley tracks at an angle of about 45 degrees and then pitched off into the stream. The left forward wheel was smashed so badly it will have to be replaced by a mew one and the axle was bent, but aside from these damages there was nothing more than scratches on the hody of the car. The stream where this car landed is about 10 feet wide and about two feet deep. There have been many narrow escapes here and a guard rail should be placed om the trolley tracks where the tracks leaves the main thoroughfare. Two ac- cidents have been recorded within a year at this spot. The car was gotten out and towed to a garage, the automobile engine of the garage man's car acting as power for the hoisting tackle, The firemen were called out Saturday morning about 11.15, by an alarm from box 28, corner of Granite strest and Chester avenue. A barn owned jointly by Mrs. §. A. S. Chapman of 51 Granite street and Stanley Hdwards of Summer street which is in the rear of their res- idences, was badly damaged by fire. How the blaze started is a mystery. The flames had a zood start before the fire- men arrived. Two streams of water were turned on the fire. The pumping machine was attached to the hydrant at the corner of Granite and Summer streets and soon the fire was subdued. The roof on the Edwards portion was burned and on the Chapman side was damaged a litle. Conslderable furni- ure stored in the building was saved. Saturday afternoon fumeral services for Mrs. Clara C. (Moore) Kinney were held at 2.15 p. m. at the Kinney cottage at Pleasant View. Rev. Clayton A. Bur- dick, D.D.. pastor of the Paweatuck placed on the Westerly side of the Paw- catuck river, the road from the brifge south to the Bradford station has been re-graded and the widening of the ap- proach from the Westerly side tas vet 1o be finished, but will be completed as soon as the water in the river s lower. On the Hopkinton side nothing has been done yet. Westerly Is to have an industrial ex- hibit at the armory. Stonington. West- erly and Bradford manufacturing con- cerns will be among the exhibitors. 1@ of the Industrinl league series was plaved at Stonington Saturday afternoon between the American Velvet A. A. and the Hope Valley nine, the home team winning, 6 to 5. A gdod crowd wit- nessed the first game under the league schedule, and a $100 purse is being of- fered, which is quite an inducement for all the teams in the league to play their best. Neither side scored in the first in- ning, but Stonington in the second warmed up and made its first score. They also won one each in_the third and fourth. Hope Valley then tied the game with_three counts in the fourth, and until the 11th it was even 7, when Jeff Moore at the bat drove the ball over the road ‘with two men on bases, ending the game. The first game of the Industrial league of Potter Hill and White Rock was play- ed at Potter Hill Saturday afternoon and White Rock won, 4 to 3, and all the runs were made in the first inning. Stenhouse, who pitched for the Westerly High school, was on the mound for White Rock, and Wilcox pitched for Potter Hill, A Norwich man came to grief Sunday about noon at the West Side bridge. Ashley T, Boon and a Gardner touring car_driven by James Daley of Taftville collided while passing under the railroad bridge at West Broad and Liberty streets. The front radiator and spring fender and light on the Ford sedan were damaged and the touring car had a broken front axle, fender and light and a big hole was punched in the radiator. It seems the Ford car was coming down Libgrty street and at the junction with West' Broad street it went to the left a little to avoid hitting a machine that was going down West Broad street, consequently the two machines collided. The Gardner car was approaching up West Broad street. Both machines were golng sicwly, which was the reason mo one was injured and Yhmt no more damage was done to the cars. The building committee for the two Seventh-day Paptist church, officiated. Couch, Joseph Rouen, Clarence Maine, e The bearers were George Andrews, John: school bildings for the town of Westerly rejected the bids offered for the purchase and removal of the Seventh Day Baptist Davis and the late Dr. Wilder Southwick.
