take. The Rhode Island Ones OF that
town attended the Watchemokets last
fair and while here took the opportunity
of cementins the friendly feeling between

take In the trip to Westerly and at that
time there L. no doubt but what they
will return In kind and friendly feeling

TRACK WALKING.
In spite OF the fact that AT various times
the attention OF the public has been called
TO the danger OF walking on the railroad
tracks there are still many people who
keep UP the practice and the wonder is
that there are not more accidents than
there are. People pass up and down the
tracks Of the Consolidated needless OF the
danger to which they are exposing them
selves and every day there are one or
more narrow escapes from being ground
to hash under the wheels OF the swiftly
moving cars.
There n an ordinance against trespass-
ing on the road bed OF any railroad oper-
ated by steam but IL Is not enforced be-
cause OF the fact that public sentiment
does not seem to be in accord with the
enforcement of the law in this particu-
lar. There was a howl of Indignation
when the police made an effort to en-
force the law IN one section OF the town
some time ago and were the trespassers
to be arrested and fined for the offence
II 10 doubted n the act would be sup
ported by public sentiment
