PAWTUXET VALLEY
Telephone Operators Are Given
Scare. NO Carnival For
Phenix Likely. -..Ouiing Held.
Notes Of Interest.

The lady operators at the Valley Tele-
phone Exchange were given a severe
fright Thursday afternoon when suddenly
without warning one OF the large plate
glass windows OF the transom directly
over their heads was broken and a shower
OF glass came tumbling down upon their
heads.
II was said that young culprit from
an adjoining lot threw stone at the
building with the result as cited.
That the operators were not badly cut
with the flying fragments seems miracu-
lous.
HAD OUTING.
The children OF the primary department
of the Hope NJ f. Sunday school with
their teachers and superintendent enjoyed
a lawn fete near tho church this after
noon.
Games OF various sorts were played.
which were followed by the serving OF

not be given the opportunity OF seeing

At the last meNing of the committee that
body decided that during the present sea-
son band Concerts alone would be held

ming during August.
BAND CONCERT.
There was a large crowd gathered on
the square at Arctic Centre last evening.
where the Union Cornet band OF Quid-
nick gave a most pleasing concert The
event was attended by the usual gang
OF young hoodlurns who have nothing else
to do but make themselves obnoxious 70
those who wished to enjoy the evening.
Ii is said that during the evening Miss
Annie kitteridge OF Crompton was run
into and knocked down by a young man
who did not even stop To apologize. The
local police was notified of the affair but
as the girl did not know the offending
party. nothing coud be done in regard tc
the matter.
THERE WAS NO BURGLAR
The story Is given out that the attempt
at burglary at J. F1anagan's store a,
Clyde square on Thursday morning. was
more in fancy than reality.
Certain individuals who were standing
at the corner OF Maple avenue. claim tha'
after hearing the shots they saw a large
black dog crossing the lots towards Gov
entry, but claim that they saw no man
and they express the belief that the
watchman was the victim OF midnight
imagination.
