WESTERLY BREMEN IN N. E. LEAGUE
Veteran Association Participate in of William Hoxsey Dies in New York-Band Concert Pleasant View Improvement Association Holds Annual Meeting.

The Westerly Veteran Firemen's as- sociabon, which includes the seasoned fire fighters of Pawcatuck, Is going beyond the realms of a purely social organization, and is to become active to a degree that will recall the days when as boys they ran wid der mer- chine and manned the brakes" The association recently became affiliated with the New England F'iremen's league and now proposes to partiCi pate in the parades and tournaments, and expects to have Q. hand fire en- zine, well manned, to compete in prize squirting contests. The local asSOCia- tion is comparatively young and the members are fully uniformed and pro- pose to be well equipped in all that pertains to veteran f1remanship. The association has option on two engines that have excellent muster records, the Defiance of Fall River and the Star of Cranston of CranstOn. The former is a twelve and one-half inch stroke machine, and to work the brakes to full capacity would require a crew of sixty men. The CranstOn machine has a nine-iuch stroke and could be pumped to the limit with crew of forty men. While the whole matter was left with the special com mitteC of which David Robinson is chairman, the sentiment of the meet ing, which was held Wednesday even ing, favored the CranstOn machine.
 Officers for the ensuing year were elected as follows: William R. Wilcox, president; Edgar J. Slocum, first vice president; Frederick Shortman, second vice president; Nelson w. Hines re- cCrding secretary; David w. Robinson, financial secretary; William Ninchen, treasurer; Charles Knight, steward.

tons, Attracted Some interest
Many Gases Carried Over.

District court is on it's last lap for
the term and will finally adjourn the
latter part Of the week. The last two
weeks have been devoted to trial OF
jury cases and the disposition of Grim,
inal matters. Criminal cases usually
attract the attention of the public, and
this term is no exception. UnfOFtu.
nately for the spectators. however tho
cases have been disposed of without
public trials in court.
The chief interest centered in the
cases of the State of Iowa vs. Ward
and VS. Jochim They are both cases
OF domestic character: Jochims
pleaded guilty to the singel offense
charged against him by the indictment
returned by the grand jury, not so
much because he feared the verdict
OF guilty, but because in the compro
mise made he felt that he was accept
ing the least OF two evils. and hence
his plea OF guilty. His sentence, while
made under the indeterminate law, may
not mean more than years incarcera
ton. Mrs. Smith, the woman who was
involved with him, was also indicted
and compromise was effected by
which she returns to her husband and
therefore avoids prosecution.
The case of the State VS. Ward was
continued over until the November
term Of court in order that the de.
PENDANT could take dispositions to sus.
tain his defense. The other defend,
ants plead guilty and were given Jail
sentences.
The ever present. nOn-ending case
OF Heller VS. Meyer was up for trial at
the term and has been
su omitted to the court for decision
which will, no doubt. be made in due
time.
The case of Balentine VS. Kremin
IN which an application was made for
the appointment OF permanent guar.
dian for the defendant, was decided in
favor OF the defendant, and the ap.
polntment of a temporary guardian
was set aside.
The case of VIM. Pierce vs. the Sher
1T of Crawford county, which was an
action to hold the sheriff for the value
of an automobile sold under execution
by the sheriff, was tried to the Jury
but before its final submission to the
jury the plaintiff dismissed the case
and verdict was rendered in favor OF
the sheriff.
The case growing out of the Millegan
estate is now on trial. This action
brought to establish claim against
the estate and is being contested by
the heirs of the estate. The case is
on trial before jury.
There probably will be but one or !
two other trials before court adjourns
which means that a large amount Of
rial work will be carried over to the !
next term of court. |
