Riley Found Guilty OF Assault Today
Volunteers Zig Celebration.

charge OF assault on Special officer
Parker. The trouble arose over Mr..
Parker chasing Mr.. Riley's COW on OF Mr..
sayles's land and Mr.. Riley, taking ex-
ceptions to the way Mr.. Parker was
doing II, told him to stop. II was dark
and the foundation for Parker's charge OF
assault was that Mr.. Riley made motion
as though to throw something at him.
Parker then struck Riley once in he face
with his hand and twive with a loaded
cane on the head, laying open the scalp.
A man named OFT was the only witness
and said he did not see Riley throw any
thing.
The court found Riley guilty and fined
him s20 and costs.
The Celebration.
The veteran hremen of this village
seldom do much talking before muster,
but IL they win they make little noise.
They believe In celebrating victory after
1t has been won rather than before. IL is
a surer thing generally.
That is what was done this time. The
men said nothing, but went TO Boston,
won the prize and then began to "crow."
The big blow out occurred last night.
Everybody turned out and brought all of
their friends.
After o'clock il was impossible to get
near the Cross street engine house for
that was where the Volunteer was and
where the men were assembling. The en-
gine had been taken there during the day
and some OF the mud OF Boston Common
washed Off
At s o'clock the line was formed as fol-
lows:
Platoon of Police; Parks Continental
Band OF Woonsocket; Central Falls lem
persnes Cadets; Veteran Firemen in uni
form; the Volunteer, followed by almost
everybody who could walk
The line OF march was AS follows: Down
Cross street to Hswes, Gentral,l Illinois,
Garfield, Dexter, Main, Pawtucket; Broad,
Central, North Main, Cross TO the engine
house. All along the line red and green
fire was burned and buildings were gaily
decorated with flags and bunting. A
cannon was kept booming during the
parade.
The people In Pawtucket were waiting
for them and gave the boys warm recep-
ton. After the engine house was reached
a collation. was served and few hours
spent enjoyably.
Electrician Kennedy's Work.
Electrician Kennedy of the Central
Falls Fire Department is a very handy
man. His latest work proves that he is
an excellent wood and metal worker, and
an artist combined.
He has constructed an immense "run-
ming board" which is to be used at the
Broad street engine house. A running
board" IL simply list of the boxes and
opposite each box is placed the numbers
OF each company responding to the call.
This board Is made OF light wood and is
3X6 feet The divisions are mace by half
round strips crossing each other, making
squares in which are placed on slides
painted black the numbers and location
OF the boxes.
On the opposite side of the board are
placed the numbers Of the companies
responding on the first and second alarms,
the figures being made OF lead. 1t is a
very neat piece Of work.
At Last.
Workmen have commenced on the al
teratioIs at the Broad street engine house
as previously designed. At the rear of
the building and on the southeast corner
is to be built bay window, which will
allow for a sitting room 12x15 feet apart
from the main apparatus room. The stall
nearest the southern wall is to be removed
several feet to allow for interior space.
The object Is economy. Heretofore the
main apparatus room has been heated in
Winter. Now only the sitting room will
be made comfortable. Another object, as
stated, is to keep the apparatus from
shrinking In its joiner wood from the in
tense heat required to warm the whole
building. This matter has often been
spoken OF and at last is about to be acted
upon.
