Thomas lie Favour, who died. at his
home in Pawtucket, yesterday, aged "a,
was not well known to the younger citi-
zens, but in early cotton manufacturing
days few men were better known. He was
n contemporary with Samuel Slater, Timo-
thy Greene, William Field, David Wilkin-
son, and host of those grand old pioneers
of cotton manufacturing in this city and
country.
Mr.. lie Favour was born in Marblehead,
Mass, and came TO Pawtucket at the age
of IA years with his parents, they having
been induced 10 come there by Timothy
Greene, then engaged in manufacturing
in the old Green mill, !" on the east side
of the river.
He remained i'm themill but about
a year, when he entered the Office of Mr..
Green and served several years as clerk.
In 1929, David Wilkinson, who had been
engaged in cotton manufacturing in the
mill erected in 1910 by his father, Oziel
Wilkinson, failed, and the property went
into the hands of the heManufacturers' Bank
chased this mill, and run il for short
time for the manufacture of cotton cloth,
when Mr. Field retired, and Mr.. lie Fa

some years, but finally retired and closed
his connection with the manufacturing
business forever Since that time Mr.. lie
Favour served for time as superintend-
ent of the Pawtucket Gas Company, as
postmaster of Pawtucket during Presi-
dent Taylors term, and was for several
years bookkeeper for the late DIR. Clapp.
But, as has already been stated, he has
been out of active business for twenty

Evidence To-Day.

Evidence To-Day.
The Supreme Court is rushed with
business, and to day three juries are try
ing cases on the docket of this court be-
fore Chief Justice Matteson and Associate
Justices Tillinghast and Stiness.
Before Judge Matteson the case of the
Abbott Run Mill Company against the
city of Pawtucket is still on and will prob
ably occupy two more days of the courts
time. 1t Is an important case and the re-
suit will be great interest to the city of Paw
tucket, and corporations and individuals
in Happy Hollow where the flood of 1856
occurred as there will be many more suits
brought against the city of Pawtucket If
n verdict for the plaintiffs is rendered in
this case.
In the other side Of the Supreme Court
Judge Tillinghast is on the bench, where
the case OF Abbey A. Hall, of Woonsocket t.
against the Harris Woolen Company, be-
gun yesterday, was continued with the
opening Of court this morning.
Down stairs in the court room where the
civil cases in the Court of Common Pleas
docket are tried Judge Stiness has an
other Supreme Court Case. This is n suit
brought by Thomas Davis against Charles
II. Cowell for - 5j3 aud COwell i'm turn
sues Davis for 50 100. The plaintiff in the
first case claims that he employed Cowell
as clerk TO look after his property at a
salary of 500 year. This agreement was
verbal. No settlement was made until
five ears later when, I'm Strengthening up
the accounts, Cowel was found TO have
overdrawn 81, ,553, and his property was at
tGched To that amount.
Mr.. Cowell denies that there was ever
any agreement whereby be was TO receive
only ZOO annually Tor his services; that
tac work was worth at least - 800 year,
and that in addition towhat he has already
drawn Mr.. Davis still owes him ~, 100.

A bombshell was Yesterday thrown in
among members OF the One Year order
here, who were congratulating themselves
that they were probably "out of the
woods" for about 800. The bombshell
was in the form of nine assessments, which
came TO each member upon "A single strip
of paper. Each assessment is 81 OF these
eight were 10 be paid only by those whose
certificates expire before Oct. 81, and were
therefore payable only by those in this
city, whose policies expired oct Is. These
eight assessments would not then operate
against those in this city, whose certih-
Gates expire later than Oct. 81, of which
there are about twenty. But one of the
against all members. This fact seems TO
be peculiar to members directly affected
who do not see why they should have the
assessments heaped upon them while
Others should receive the effect of but one

ments of those, whose certificates expire

has made some money, but it is not the

Upon entering Que of the barns of
Bowen's coal yard, about 9 o'clock yester-
day morning, an employe found one OF
three horses suffering terrible agonies.
An investigation was made at once and
near by was found rake, the handle of
which showed blood stains along a dis
tance af about five feet. There were all
indications that this rod had been pushed
about that distance into the animal
rectum. The animal had been left in
such condition that he could not get
down and he had been Obliged to stand in
straddling position for several hours. A
veterinary was called and two shots not
being sufficient To finish the animal it was
found necessary 10 cut its throat. An ex-
animation by the veterinary showed the
animals organs and intestines to have
been horribly mangled by the shaft The

patience was asked for.

An Express Employe Steals n Watch, but

Robert Dickinson, employed by the
Adams Express Company as porter, was
arrested yesterday afternoon on war
rant charging him with stealing from the
firm. Dickinson has been in the employ
of the corporation for eleven years and un-
til recently has been trustworthy. A few
weeks ago, however, his actions became
suspicious and when a valuable watch be-
longing to Adrian Phillips was reported
missing suspicion attached to him.
A chain, valued at sl5 the property of
Henry Prev, was left in a conspicuous
place as decoy and close watch kept
over il from n safe distance.
Dickinson, thinking all was straight
made bee line for the chain and placed it
in his pocket. AT this juncture he was
nabbed and turned over To the police au-
thoritics.
In the Sixth District Court this morning
he pleaded guilty to both charges, one on
the watch and the other on the chain, and
was bound over to the December term of
the Court of Common Pleas i'm the first
case, and fined so and costs on the sec
ond charge
