1t does not take Buffalo Bill or
1O1 Ranch Wild West show, or even a
Ringing Brothers circus, to draw out
a big crowd to see the parade in West
erly, for one of the magnitude of Sig
Sautele was a magnet sufficient as
demonstrated, Thursday. The circus
travels overland, just as in primitive
times, with the result that the horses
are always jaded and the men tired
and sleepy. Sautelle played Wednes-
day in Wakefield, % miles away, and
the last of the show wagons did not
arrive at the circus grounds in Paw
catuck until 10 o'clock. The result
was that the noon hour came before
the procession started. But the crowd
that commenced to assemble at 10
O'Clock waited long and patiently ana
We're satisfied that the procession in
dicSted that the Sautelle aggregation
was a big small show, larger in pro-
portion to advance announcement than
some which are more pretentlous and
claim to be thS greatest on earth.
Fair sized audiences attended the af-
ternoon and evening performances and,
as it is a e-ring show, the audience
saw all that was to be seen, and SEEM
ed satisfied.
OF course there was the side show
of the ordinary character with another
of bright red shade in a cosy corner
that attracted certain grade OF pa
irons. and they were evidently imam
the gamblers with the one sided games
that relieved some of the sports OF
Westerly and elsewhere of their sur
plus cash. These gambling schemes
are not carried on with the approval
of the circus management but they
are as regular as the circus, and are
evidently looked for every time cir

port E Isaac Jones as administrator
of estate of his widow, Annie S. 3.
Jones. came up again at special ses-
sion of the probate court Thursday
morning. Counsel for certain would
be heirs claimed that there were items
In the account of the administrator
that should not be allowed; as they
were not clearly accounts against the

ministrator personally
After a hearing, Judge Edward NJ.
Burke gave opinion that inasmuch as

law. Attorney Walter P Dixon is
counsel for administrator.
