The Dixon house was erected in fso567 by Messrs. Babooek and Moss and was referred to as "one of the largest and finest hotels in New Eng land. composet of iron. stone and brick. at a cost of $500 .00O" Tn commenting upon the opening Of the Dixon house, the Providence Journal had this refer ence.
 The Dixon house at Westerly is not only the best hotel in the state. but is one of the very best in the country, one of the best anywhere. It will accom- nodate 300 persons as comfortably. as elegantly as any hotel in New York, and in the completeness of it's furnish Ing it Is probably not equaled by any af them.

 There was a hearing before Judge Tanner in the superior court at Provi- dence Monday in the equity case in- volving dispute over the ownership of land in Canal street, Westerly, upon which the N. T., N. H. & H. R. R. Co. contemplate the erection of building for tenant who at present occupies building on the opposite side of the street, owned by the Railroad com pany, but which is to be removed, in connection with the improvement now in progress in that section. The suit is brought by Mrs. Constantine Grills, who claims ownership of the disputed land. Mrs. Grills desired to obtain from the court a preliminary injune- tion to prevent the railroad company from erecting the proposed building. The prayer was denied and the re- straining order dissolved, on condition that the company will stipulate a right of way for the complainant.

 Until he was Y years Mir. Knight never attended school. and to some ex- tent he taught himself. and up to that time he had never earned more than si.25 a week at mill work. By the aid of a friend he was enabled to spend a year and a half at the old Pawcatuck academy in Westerly-the only school ing he ever received. He profited by it so well that for four months he was teacher in a district school in Exeter and gave satisfaction.
 The Union academy. the first in the town of Westerly was built in 1874 f on the knoll in the center of the village of Westerly'9 in Union street, and Is now occupied as a residence.

Chris Person, the big heavyweight
Fargo wrestler, and Hans Miller, the
heavyweight of Des Moines. la, are
both in the city and a~nxiously awaiting
the tap of the bell for their bout to-
night ON the padded mat at Prizes hall.
The two big men are each confident
of downing the other and the fans may
expect one of the best contests that
has ever taken place in this city. Per-
son said this morning: Il am going
to throw this man Miller, but / don't
expect to have as easy q time of II, as

Miller remarked when asked what he
thought of the outcome of the contest:
You can say that l am going to win.
! am going to tackle Person right from
the word go and do my best, so as not
to let him know anything of my style
of wrestling"
The fact that the winner of this will
likely nave an opportunity of meeting
Henry Ordeman, the 200-pound man of
the twin cities will add zest to the
match, for both Person and Miller are
very anxious to climb the ladder of

college game Friday afternoon. Fargo
college has an unbroken string of vic
tories to it's credit SO far this fall and
the saints consider them their most
dangerous opponent. All of Ryan's in
jured men are in the game except Con
way at end and the teamwork of the
eleven Is improving rapidly. There will
be no more scrimmage for the regulars
until after the Fargo game.
Several second team men were on the
regular eleven at different periods of
yesterdays practice. They got away
we'll and Friday will probably see Ryan
using everything he has in order to
keep a fresh fast team in the game,
The big line bucking Gallogly will stay
at full where his height will help on
forward passes, and weight will count
in the secondary defense. The halves
will be light fast men for an end-run-
ming game, such as Doherty, Culligan,
Kennedy and MCGoYern.
Hedge will be at end where his de-
fensive play is most needed. McGovern
has been at practice every day since
being barred from the st. Joe game
and the saints are in hope that he will
be eligible for Fridays game.
{ The st. Thomas ban will play be-
fore and during the Fargo game and a
large crowd will be present, judging
from the advance sale of tickets.
