 MT. Stanton said that when he asked for a meeting of the council it was planned to resort to the most ex- trcue quarantine regulations but since then he was satisfied that to re- sort to drastic measures would result in hardship and inconvenience and was not considered necessary at this time, therefore 1t was not essential that the council take any action. It is believed that the situation is well under control. He said that the closest watch would be kept on the eases now known and on those under suspicion.
 Drs. John ChampIin and Michael H. Scanlon were at the meeting repre- senting the Westerly physicians as sOciation and gave approval of what Mir. Stanton said he had done and iS doing to check the disease.

HELD FOR GRAND JURY
White Man Charged by Brooke Car

hnmSe Sunday Morning.

White Man Charged by Brooke Car
ter With Breaking Into Store
house Sunday Morning.
A man named Beach was before Po-
lice Court this morning to answer the
charge of breaking into and steal
ing a turkey from the Carter Broth
crs store, on King street, near
Henry.
Brooke Carter, of the firm, stated
that last Sunday morning, about
half past two o'clock, he heard a
noise in the rear of the store, and
upon investigation saw Beach leav-
ing the premises with live turkey
under his arm. Mr.. Carter fired three
shots at the Beach, neither of which
took effect.
Upon investigating the house III
which the turkeys had been placed
he found that two were missing and
that the house had been broken open.
He positively identified Beach, but
the latter denied having been on the
premises, and claimed it is a case
of mistaken identity.
Justice Cation held Beach for the
action of the grand jury to answer
the charge of breaking into a store
house in the night.
