THE HOWE CASE.
Thomas A. Prouty of the overseers of
the poor said, Saturday, in relation to
the Fannie Howe case: at looks today
as if we should appeal from the deci-
sion of Justice Boutwell, of North
Brookfield. If the law upon which we
base our contention is good for moth
ing, we desire to know it. There is a
point of law in the case which we want
settled for future guidance" The case
is one of great annoyance to the friends
of Miss Howe who have contributed to
her support in years past and are still
willing to do so. They feel aggrieved to
think that so much fuss should be
made about it, especially as she is
daughter of the revolution" The
overseers, however, say the mere money
consideration has nothing to do with
their actions. 1t is the point of law
they want settled. The amount sued
for was $95, but by Judge Bothwelrs de-
cision the amount was reduced to
$1SS6.
WORCESTER WOMAN HURT.
q
ing, when the North Pole Swedish So
ciety was dancing one of the last quad
rifles, at town hall, Miss Ida Wells, who
lives at Winter street. Worcester, slipped
on the floor, striking her head with such
force as to render her unconscious for
an hour and make the attention of a
physician necessary DR.. J. c. Austin
was called, and she was removed to the
Massasoit House. Although the shock
was severe, she was reported comfort
able Saturday afternoon, with pros
pect Of being all right in day or two.
