E Law breakers of the most despicable type dynamited section of the trolley f tracks oh the w ester1y- Watch Hill line at a point where the tracks extend |, from Thompson Corners and form the curve to the Watch Hill road The dynamite made a clearance of about three feet square, raised the rails and disturbed about 20 ties. The discovery was made by the motormans of the first lScar to the hill early Wednesday morn ing and before any damage was done |, the car or the lives of the passengers endangered. Repairs were made as quickly as possible and trolley ser vice resumed on schedule time. It is believed the contemptible work was done at about 1.30 o'clock Wednesday morning, residents in the vicinity heard an explosion at that time. The SrdS was on the curve, evidently being chosen by reason of the increased dan ger were the objects of the dynamiters achieved

 q hitting. others like. them. also de-. sstroyed overhead wiring on the Pleas ant View branch of the trolley road in the hope of stopping trolley car ser vice to that resort, and without regard to the damage of property. injury to Is spassenge eFs, and possibly loss of life Guide wires and guy wires were cut and the operation of cars imperiled Repairs were made, and with as little delay as possible the regular schedule was resumed.
 F These things happened within the town of Westerly, yet the town -coun- cil has been openly condemned for furnishing police protection for a few days when the trolley service was re- stunned after being tied up on account of the strike. The Shore Line Electric Railway company was required to pay for this police protection. This com pany is taxpayer in the town of Westerly and the property is entitled to protection.
