There is now absolutely no question
but what the finest crop grown in
western North Dakota since 1915 will
be harvested next fall. We are having
plenty of good rains which come just
when needed. Wheat, oats, barley and
all small grains are in the very best
of condition. Corn is q little back
ward and will not be as good . crop
as last year, tho it, will make an
abundance Of feed. The hay crops will
be abundant and potatoes and all
kinds of garden crops are immense.
This is the year that we have been
waiting for so long. Farm lands are
certain to show q big advancement in
value this year, tho little is changing
hands at present. :.

News by telepore came to Macon
this morning that the Bank of Artesia
about 20 miles north of Macon. had
ben robbed of $4,000 by an unmasked
robber, who held up Cashier McIlwain
with two pistols and ordered him to
go into the vaults, afterwards help-
lEg himself the money that had lust
been taken from the vaults.
The robber is said to be travelling in
q large auto, and drove off towards
Starkyille. 1t is said that the i'm
prisoner released himself with a screw
driver in seven minutes after the rob
Der left.
1t is also report that an attempt

WESTERLY

Judge Chester W. Barrows at the open ing of the superior court Thursday. charged the jury in the two cases of BaD- tiste Bottoneln now of New London. against the Westerly Automatic Tele- phone company. Both actions were re- suits of injuries caused by contact with c telephone wire lying on the ground, on the Post road, where it had fallen onto Ire electric light wire and charged with electricity. Judge Barrows reviewed the testimony and explained the law relative thereto. He told the jury there were two cases and that they must return two yer diets One case was brought by MT. Bot toneIli, for himself, to recover for the loss of service of his wife and the expense in- cidental thereto. she having been injur- ed by the charged wire The court re- minded the jury that the injuries Mrs. Bottonelli received were not to be con sidered, as she had her day in court. some time ago. but only the loss to MT. Bottonelli by reason of the injuries re- ceived. The other case was brought by Mir Bottonelli In behalf of his daughter. who had been injured by contact with the live telephone wire. He impressed the jury. that in order to find for the de- fendants, they must be satisfied that there was negligence on the part of defendant and none on the part of the plaintiff.
 The jury was out for an hour and twenty minutes and returned with yer dict for the plaintiffs. Their verdict was $2O0O for Mir Bottonelli and s1,5o0 for Miss Alice Bottonelli. The jurors were then discharged and paid of by the cerk.
 The next cs,ses called for trial and which will end the pr gsvent session of the court in Westerly. were the two eases of Joseph Dussault against COurtland B. Bliven, and are somewhat similar to tho Bottonelli cases. May 20, last, Louis Dus- sault, son of the plaintiff, was playing with a kite, near his home on the Watch Hin road It is alleged that the boy who was nine years of age, was on the trolley track, and stepped backwards into the highway when he was struck by an auto mobile of the defendant and operated by an employe named Fraser. As a result one of the boys legs were broken and he was treated for seven weeks in St.Jo- seph's hospital, Providence. The plain tiff seeks to recover damages for in- juries sustained. The other case Is brought by MT. Dussault to recover for monies paid out and for the loss of ser vice of his wife wbn spent themajorpart of seven weeks in Providence at much ex- pense.
 The jury Impanelled for the trial of the cases is composed of Frederick G Buff fum. Jr., foreman Robert Drysdale, Jr.,

 After the testimony for plaintiff was in, Attorney Condery moved for a non suit, claiming that the declaration of plsintIff was not sustained and the ex- -cessive speed. careless operation and neg ligence had not been proven. Judge Bar rows granted the motion.

 A protest has been filed with the pub lie untilities commission, of Rhode Island by the Crurnb Quarry company, of West erly, against the increase in the power rates of the Westerly Light and Power company. Frank Sullivan. representing the quarry company, was heard by the commission and the case taken under ad- yisement The protest of the claimant is based upon contr"ct which it has witt the light and power company, claimina that the rate increase, insofar as it af fects it's own case, is in violation of tht contract.
 Engineer Gray of the Naraganset Electric Lighting company, of which th' Westerly Light and Power company is z , subsidiary, was present for the respond ent It was set up that the increase il rates is a result of the coal clause of thu company's tariff and that the coal cos is responsible to considerable extent fol the increase.
