The court lost some time at the open
ing Wednesday ls1orning as Juror Rob-
ert A. Bailey of Salem was unable to
get here utb 1910 o'clock. Sheriff
Brown had been sent out to look him
up, but was unable to do so until he
arrived in court himself. He stated to
Judge Reed that he had been sick at
nome before leaving for court, which
caused the delay. He is about 80 years
OF age, but said he felt well enough to
continue in the jury, but was told by
the judge that if he felt bad at any
time a recess would be allowed.
Jailer Oscar Maine testified as the
first witness of the day. and said he
received two fowl from Chief Holbrook

moved that the jury be taken to view
the chicken coops as he claimed he
had been there and found them much
different than described by the deputy
sheriff in his testimony. State Attor-
ney Hull opposed it, as he said he had
also seen the coops and grounds and
found the description was correct,
Judge Reed denied the motion Attor-
ney Conner called Deputy Sheriff
Tubbs, and they discussed the coops
and gronndss They evidently got the
fowls interested in the affair, as they
started cackling which disturbed the
court, and by order of Judge Reed
they were taken from tn raom and dis
bard from further participation in the
controversy.

FIRE IN A STOVE.
Smoke Came Out Through Breaks in
Chimney Wall, and Fire Department
Was Notified.

Engine company No 1 responded to
a telephone call about 1895 Wednes-
day morning for a supposed FIRE in the
Chapman building, corner of Franklin
square and Rose place. where a. big
volume of smoke was pouring out of
the chimney and also into the real
estate office of C. e. Whitney. The
company found that the smoke came
from a fire which had been started in
the cigar store of William M. McCord
on the floor below and there was no
fire in the chimney. At numerous
spots along the chimney the smoke
poured out through the bricks where
the mortar had fallen out, giving the
impression that the chimney was on
fire. Mr.. Whitney was absent from
his office at the time of the alarm, but
hurried back there when told of it by
a man who passed him on Cliff street.

ETHERIDGE DROVE
THE WINNING COLT.
Glover Worthy Took the Race at the
Kingston Fair.

At the Kingston fair Tuesday the
races consisted of only one event, which
was the three year old colt race, with
a purse of 5000. This event brought
out four entries for the best two out
of three heats, only two being neces-
sary, however. to determine the win
nerS.
Glover Worthy, owned by w W.
Bromley of Westerly, was easily the
star of the event, as at no time was
the Westerly horse crowded to keep in
the lead. The race was a good one
from start to finish, but at no time
was the Westerly colt crowded, he
being able to show up at all times well
within himself and showed no signs
of exertion on his part. Clover Worthy
has great possibilities on the track if
Tuesdays results are to be any indi
cation. Master Suinott took second
money.
Tho following were the entrants and
their owners: Glover Worthy, W. w.
Bromley. Westerly Master Suinott, f.
W. Lanphear, Carolina; Donna May,
