greater than its dividend require
ments for the first half of this year.

for the entire year 1919 is placed by
Mr. Bishop as around the S2,OO0,OOO

BOUND OVER ON
SERIOUS CHARGE
Ina Fowler Arraigned For As
saulting His Thirteen Year
Old Niece
Bound Over to Superior Court and
Taken to Jail.

Justice Charles NJ. Perrin OF North
Woodstock found probable cause in
the case of the state VS.. Ira Fowler,
charged with making criminal as
sauk upon his niece, Edith Harris,
who has not as yet reached her thir-
teenth birthday.
Fowler was originally arrested on
a charge of intoxication and breach
of the peace, the more serious charge
being added later Fowler entered a
plea Of net guilty. He was repre-
sented by Attorney J. F. Carpenter OF
Putnam. Judge M. H. Geissler pro-
secuted and s. H. Peckham was the
grand Juror.
The Harris girl and her mother,
who ID Fowler's sister, lived together.
The little girl testified Of improper
relations with her uncle extending
over a period of year, saying that
she consented because she was afraid
of him. There is some question as to
the chiId's condition. Fowler has liv-
ed in Woodstock for the past ten
years.

have ridden to New York had the &C.
easion arisen. But this is in keeping
with the order of things, as it is the
case usually that no complaints are
offered from the passenger in the wa
gon up ahead.
This man, who took this unusual
ride, is large man. He weighs 2S7
pounds live weight and has been fiat
on his back with rheumatism. To
touch him was to bring forth groan.
When it was decided to remove him
to the hospital it was found that the
ambulance was too small A jitney
driver was called but this mode was
impossible on account of the prospect
i've passengers pain. The hearse as
the means of conveyance was last
resort, and the sufferer was only too
willing to ride in or on anything so
that his pain-racked body might still
recline.
Several strong citizens were called
upon and after the man had been plac.
ed on a cot, the cot, man and all, was
picked up bodily and placed in the
interior of the hearse.
- When an attempt was made to take
the patient from the hearse at the
journeys end without using the bed
on which he reclined, there was strong
protest from the new arrival at the
institution. He insisted that the bed
go also and that he go on it and this
wish was carried out.
Although the trip to the hospital
was an unusual one, it is understood
that at one time there was talk of us
ing such a vehicle for an ambulance,
as the only ambulance now at hand is
a horse drawn one. However, 1t was
found that there was opposition to
such plan from people who thought
that such a ride was altogether too
suggestive so the plan was aba adoned.

Except for an occasional groan,
inside the hearse was silence, even

BADLY BURNED
Doris Landry At Hospital In
Serious Condition

Terribly burned about the abdomen
and thighs, Doris Landry, four year
old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph
Landry of Mechanicsville, was
brought to the Day Kimball hospital
last Saturday afternoon, where her
condition is reported to be very seri-

How the child was burned has not
yet been discovered. Mrs. Landry,
who had been out during the after
noon, returned to the house to discov-
er her daughter in an almost uncon-
scious condition with practically all
of her clothing burned from her
body. Efforts have been made at the
hospital to obtain some explanation
from the little girl, but she refuses to
tell how it happened.

RESIGNS AS
CHURCH ORGANISE
Lewis o. Williams Held Posi-
ton At the Congregational
Church Over Forty Years.
Was Also Director of the Church
Choir

Lewis o. Williams, for over forty
years organist at the Second Congre-
gational church Of this city, has re-
signed. The resignation comes on
account of i'll health and needed
rest after a long period of service.
Mr.. Williams was born in Putnam
and at an early age showed natural
gift for music and early fitted himself
as an organist. He accepted the po-
sition of organist ct the Congregation
al church in 1872, succeeding w. Ma
son Beard. He remained in that posi-
ton until 1879 when he went to Wor-
cester to become organist at the
Main Street Baptist church, going
back and forth each Sunday. At the
end of the year he refused an offer
Of Encouragement and for the next
two years he supplied the church at
Woodstock Hill and later gave his SER
vices to st. Philips Episcopal church
of Putnam without charge.
When the Congregational church
decided to purchase a new organ, Mr..
Williams was one Of the committee Of
six to select and superintend the
building of the instrument, large
portion of the detail being left to Mr..
Williams judgment. He played on
the old organ the last time it was
used and was the first to play on the
new instrument.
Mr.. Williams has from time to time
organized free organ recitals here and
elsewhere. These proved delightful
and were largely attended For some
years he has been director Of the
church choir and has been untiring in
his work to keep the organization to-
gether and up TO high standard OF
excellence. For years practically the
whole musical department of the
church has been in Mr.. Williams
hands and he has been most faithful
in the discharge Of his duties. He was
always ready to furnish music on any
special occasions and never was he
known to refuse q request for his SER
vices.
Mr.. Williams was instrumental IN
bringing about the vested choir Of
young people that has proved most
successful under his guidance. He
from time to time organized and car
