DID TAYLOR SHOOT?
Pollard Takes Him on
a Serious Charge.
PATT AS A COMMISSIONER.
Central Falls Yields Up Quite Lively
Batch of News.

William Taylor was before Judge Goff
in the District Court this morning,
charged with an assault with a dangerous
weapon on John Murray. He pleaded not
guilty and was held in the sum OF 5000
for examination one week from tomorrow.
He had no surety and was committed.
The story as told by Deputy Sheriff
Pollard, who arrested him, is as follows:
Taylor and Murray were in the saloon OF
Patrick Kelley on Prospect Hill, Lonsdale,
playing cards when dispute arose over
.the count.
Taylor called Murray hard names and
the latter struck him. A tussle ensued
and they were parted. Those present
thought the trouble had ended, but when
Murray went to go out a few minutes later
Taylor said, as he drew revolver:
Murray, I'll fix you. May be you
think | am afraid to shoot but take
that"
Then Taylor fired.
The ball passed under Murray's chin,
close to the neck, and lodged in the door
casing Taylor turned to bystander and
said;
"Tll do you to-"
The pistol was taken away from him
and warrant sworn out.
Judge Goff asked Taylor what he had to
| say.
"That' 8 only story that Pollard has
heard" said Taylor.
Judge Goff-Did you fire the pistol?
Taylor-That remains for them to prove.
Jrdge-Well guess we will fix the
surety at 5000.
| Probate Court.
A session of the Probate Court was held
today. The two little boys Of John Burns
Of Washington street were given into the
custody of the Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Children. Some minor
business was transacted
The Highways
| 7 re is great difference in the
management OF the highways now and the
way things were done during the past two
years. For that length of time thcaax-
| payers OF Lincoln had a Surveyor in
| charge who understood his business and
who worked his men and used all the
mat erials as il they were his own. Every
item Of expense was taken into considera-
tion before the job was done and when
the work was finished Mr.. Phillips could
tell where every load OF gravel or stone
had been put and how many nssx, were
employed.
The Democratic Town Council made 1t a
rule that he should render report with
every bill and he did 80 i'm business like
way. He had his bill and report ready
when the Council was called to order.
He wrote bis report and made out his
bills himself. He did not have to get the
Town Clerk or his deputy to do it, and
when he had finished there were no
discrepancies in the different accounts.
Business has been done i'm a different
manner this year. Mr.. Andrew is a per-
feet business man but he cannot be ~x-
pected to keep all the affairs of the town
straight when the rest Of the Council and
all the town officers, with the exception
OF the Clerk, are inexperienced. 1t has
been so far sort Of school boy admins
| tration.
| The Interstate Line.
The Interstate Railway Company has
shown that il means business and il max
ing no delay in the completion OF its line.
II the petition presented to the Council
Saturday, 10 granted, AZ 1t should and
probably will be, the company will have
direct line through Cumberland aad Lin
coin to Pawtucket. The interstate will
use one rail of the Pawtucket Street Rail-
way Company az far as Clay street when 1t
will branch of and connect with its line
on High street and thence to Main.
