 The Browning homestead son the Shore road in the Watch Hill colony Is being carefully razed by John M. Browning. former owner of the place, and is being taken to land of MT. Browning in Pawcatuck, where the material will be used in the coDstruc
 ton of another building. The work is being done by MT. Browning and he makes daily trips from the old home stead to Pawcatuck with his double OK team. On the return trip MT. Browning drives his we'll kept oxen, seated on a box in his cart. Each ox4 has a ring in his nose and to- these rings are connected the reins and MT. Browning drives thene just as horses are handled. MT. Browning was one of the largest land owners at Watch Hill and has sold off large tracts for building sites at fancy prices and still retains; considerable of his Q original property. 5 !Ts r.zrz.ssaf -Eez
