Arthur M. Davison Saved Lives of Children But Died Under Pathetic Circumstances.

Arthur M. Davison, Webster, 42, died in the isolation hospital at Wor- cester, Thursday. MT. Davison had lived in Webster for about year, hav- ing charge of the milk route for the Slater farm. He was formerly in charge of the town farm for the Town of Thompson. MT. Davison stopped runaway horse that was bearing down on three children on Aldrich street in Webster May 27.

He was taken to the city hospital in Worcester the following day and it was then found that he had symptoms of scarlet fe- yer, and he was removed to the isola- tion hospital. A few days later MT.

 installing of Switchboard. ]. At the new central telephone station on Grove street the electricians of the company that is equipping the build ing are at work this week installing the switchboard that is to be put in use when the building is opened This switchboard is of the common battery type and with the service with which 1t is used no ringing by suscribers will be necessary. When subscriber picks a receiver off the hook this action by itself, without ringing, as is required with the magneto system now in use here will cause small electric light to flash at the end of the subscribers line in the switchboard, signalling the operator that number is wanted. Preparations for the installation of this system have been underway in Put nam for many weeks, but the cut over is not expected to be made until very late in the summer.
