"Smith
&
Winchester
,
[in
charge
of]
sinking
an
artesian
well
at
Phipp's
hotel
,
Beachside
, have
brought
suit
against
Mrs.
Mary
A
Phipps
to
recover
the
amount
of the
claim.
The
well
proved
unsatisfactory
and the
claim
was
made...no
money
should be
paid.
An
attachment
was
placed
on the
property
some
time
ago...case...on
trial
at
Bridgeport....Proprietor
Phipps
hopes
to have an
abundance
of
water
at the
Beachside
this
summer
, and
is
having
a
huge
reservoir
constructed
for that
purpose.
A
big
three
masted
schooner
lay
at
anchor
off
Phipps
point
during
last
week's
storm
but
rode
it
off
safely."
