Next Tuesday In the Westerly pro- bate court the will Of B. Potter Barber. who dica about month ago, will De presented for probate< There will-.De opposition to admitting the will. MT. Barber was for many years a teamster for the New England Granite company. He had been married three times ana survived his wives. The last one was the grandmother Of Mrs. Charles Fay lof, and Mr. Barber died at the Taylor home. where he had resided at differ- ent times.
 After making beqlests of $1 to each of his three brothers and two sisters, he gives Mrs. Taylor life interest in the real estate, which is to become the property of Mrs. Taylor's daughter when the mother dies. Mrs. Taylor Is also named as residuary legatee. A local attorney has been retained to contest the will in behalf of the sis ters and brothers, the grounds of con- test being undue influence and inca pacity of the testator.
 The will was drawn in 1907 and wit messed by George R. Mckenna and Everett E. Kingsley. Soon after it became known that Mr.. Barber had made his will he left the Haylors' and went to reside with his sistcAs at Glen Rock, R. l., returning to theNTaylors home a month before his death.
 One of the cars of the local reiqht train from Boston, consigned to Vest erly and due to arrive here at 7.30 Fri day morning, was not received in good order. The door seals on one side of the ear had been broken, the door was partially open and there was evidence that the car had been entered en route. presumably by hoboes.
 The car contained miscellaneous freight and many of the packages had been broken open and part of the con- tents taken or strewn about and the car was also disgustingly besmeared. Shoes and tobacco in small quantity were taken and almost a full box Of crackers was gone, indicating that there must have been vhree or four partakers of the dry feast It is evil dent that diligent but unsuccessful search was made for something to drink, as the freight was disarranged and the burlap covering of barrels con- taining crockery were removed. the thieves mistaking the barrels of crock cry for barrels of bottled beer.
 The fellows who broke into the car must have made their escape before the train reached Westerly. as no trace of them was seen here and the car was examined immediately upon arrival.
 The damaged door of the vault of the Ashawsy National bank, which was attacked by burglars last Monday night, has been fully repaired. Some people of Ashaway declared the day after the burglary that one of the ex- plosive reports heard during the night was caused by the firing of a revolver. but this was discredited by the mill night watchman, who has been proven mistaken in some of his statements.
 Friday morning it was discovered that 0 bullet from a .3S calibre revol- yer had been fired into the corner or the weave building of the Ashaway Mill company, passing through the la- dies toilet room and out through a window shutter. lodging in the clap boards of the finishing building, which is about twelve feet distant.
 The course of this bullet is direct from the bank building and were the shot fired at the watchman or any other man as a signal to retreat from harms way, and fired as the man ap- peared on the elevated platform from the building to the alleyway. the bnl- let after missing the mark would take the direction that it actually did. No one seems to be able to give definite information on this point of the case. 1 Dr. J. Howard Morgan of Westerly was elected a member of the board of censors of the Rhode Island Medico-
