Mary P. Blanchard has brought suit Tor trespass against J. Irving Maxson. Although the amount of damages !, claimed is comparatively small, $90, 1 the case is liable to prove of unusual interest and indications are that it will be bitterly contested and .presum- ably be taken to the higher courts. Mrs. Blanchard and MT. Maxson own adjoining properties in Mechanic street, Pawcatuck, and the dispute is of the boundary line nature. Mrs. Blanchard wanted a dividing fence and had one built. MT. Maxson want ed no fence and had the one built by order of Mrs Blanchard torn down. and the material placed in her front yard. this work being done while Mrs. Blanchard was away. Judge Herbert w. Rathbun, attorney for Mrs. Blan- chette, issues the writ. retuinable to Justice James E. Kennedy on Satur- day of next week.

 Frank w. Coy while driving from his office to his home, Thursday even- ing, was seriously injured. The horse was going at lively clip. as horses generally do when being driven to- wards their home stable When in Elm street, near School. and where the street is dimly lighted. the Coy car riage struck the heavy wagon from the Reuter- farm. which contained the boss farmer and two workmen. The col lision was of sufficient force to wreck the Coy carriage and free the horse. and Mir. Coy was thrown headforemost in heap on the hard macadam road. Mir Coy, being a very heav man, re- cetved severe shock and was render ed unconscious He was taken into the residence of Charles H. Stanton. where he was attended by pr. John Champlin and subsequently removed to his home.
 Mir. Coy has difficulty in breathing, and complains of severe pain in the right front side of the body and in the back It is thought that there was pressure or the IfOnt or the rlDS upon the liver. Careful examination show ed that there was no special paralysis. as Mir. Coy can use both arms and legs. His condition is considered serious though signs of improvement were mo- ticeable Friday afternoon. As soon as the Coy horse was freed the animal ran direct to the stable. Mir. Coy says he was wholly to blame for the acci- dent, as there was ample room to pass the Reuter- team on the right side of the road.
 The occupants of the. Reuter- wagon were thrown out and the driver was cut in the right knee and injured in the shoulder.
 Aside from a cut in the face. of no injurious importance. MT. Coy bears no outward signs of injury.
 At the last meeting of the board of trade Mir. Coy was selected a commit tee to go to Vermont. and investigate a manufacturing concern that was con- sidering removal to Westerly. He was to have started on that mission in a few days.
