President William L. Clarke presided at the regular monthly meeting of the i Westerly town council Monday, witt these councilmen present: c. Clarence Maxson, William Culley. Horace C. Burdick, Maurice J. Flynn, Albert H Langworthy. The records of the last regular and special meetings were ap- proved as read by Clerk Everett E Whippel.
 The bills of Overseer of the Poor Barber were approved and ordered paid, as were the other regular bills of the town.
 Attorney Henry l.. Burdick, repre- senting John F. Davis, claimed that by reason of brook running into Paw catuck river bar was formed in front of MT. Davis dock and making it inn practicable for his business. MT. Bur- dick set forth that this obstruction was due to the faulty layout of some of the streets as the sediment fills the pockets and flows on and injures MT Davis property. No claim for damage was made at this time, but the attor- hey asked that the judgment of the council be furnished as soon as possi- ble. MT. Davis is willing to assist the town in every possible way to remedy this defect.
 Councilman Flynn asked if the brook was used for any purpose except to carry water from the brook and sur face water; whether it was used for sewerage. MT. Burdick said he had no information on that subject.
 In response to a query from Council man Maxson, MT. Davis said that for merly large sloops and tugboats were able to come to where his dock is now located. Mir. Davis said the expense to the town to remove the bar would be about $200 and that he planned to construct a pocket that would care for the sediment in the future

dS Luc ulTocI TtpTtSSHldLlNC VI liO town council.
 The bill of former Town Solicitor Everett A. Kingsley of $100 in the Conway case, which was referred back to Mir. Kingsley at the previous meet ing for more particulars, was again presented. On motion of Councilman Langworthy the bill was ordered paid.
 Councilman Flynn was not opposed to the payment of the bill, but be- lieved that such cases should be thor oughly discussed before being taken into court He believed that there was a time when the Conway case could have been satisfactorily settled.
 Councilman Langworthy said the Conways have no case against the town and therefore should not be set tied. He would rather pay a few hun dred dollars to settle such cases in court and thereby prevent frequent claims.
 Councilman Flynn said that it was set up that Courtland P. Chapman had no claim for damage, but the jury de- cided otherwise.
 Councilman Langworthy declared that MT. Chapman had not yet re- ceived any money from the town in connection with that judgment.
 At this point Attorney Kingsley sug- gested that the Chapman matter be considered in secret session.
 Everett A. Kingsley was appointed enumerator of births, marriages and deaths for the present year.

Barney relative to draw ing up an appeal to the supreme court from the verdict of the jury awarding $500 for trespass.
 In the John F. Davis claim it was voted to refer the whole matter to Town Solicitor Agard to ascertain whether the town is liable for the all legged obstruction in the Pawcatuck river at MT. Davis property.

The body of an unknown man, who had evidently committed suicide, was found in the pine woods between the highway and the Wood River branch railroad and half a mile from Wood River Junction Sunday afternoon by Jesse Whaley of East Greenwich, who was walking through the woods with a companion. Dr. Rouse, the medical examiner, made an investigation, but there was nothing that would lead to identification.
 The body had been where found probably a year or more and the cloth ing indicated that the man was re- specially dressed. A razor beside the body indicated suicide to the medical examiner, but some are of opinion that the man was murdered. Nothing of value was found at or near the body. Two letters were found, but the eie- ments had affected them beyond recog- milton.
 Dr. Rouse is of the opinion that the man was about 50 years of age, five feet three inches in height and had dark hair. The clothing was of dark material, including a rain coat, and the shoes were heavy soled and nearly new
 The body was removed to the rooms of Undertaken Avery in Hope Valley.

After starting ahead the train had gone only a short distance when one of the piston rods broke, and in attempting to back the other piston rod was broken and the locomotive was helpless. The train was held up for nearly half an hour, awaiting the arrival of a spare engine from Midway. The air brakes on this engine became clogged and caused trouble at stations. The train was due to arrive in New York at II o'clock, but was delayed an hour and forty minutes.

than it has been since the body of Miss

the fact that the saloons are still closed
there is. besides the presence OF the few

nights ago the city was in control of a
mob. with the authorities unable to pre-
vent a double lynching.
1t has thus far been impossible to un-
earth positive evidence regarding the
leaders of the mob. The states attorney
said late today he had been able to es-
tablish only the fact that the men who
lynched the wife murderer. Henry Salz.
