Manager Herbert Ewald of the Plainville Athletic club announced to- cday that he had arranged to play all remaining. games on this schedule out of town. This action has been neces- sitated by the decision of George C. Woodford to prohibit Sunday games at his field. The Plainville A.

Could a “dark horse,” running ‘on an independent ticket with a substan- tial backing, succeed in defeating out, such as was done in some Con- necticut towns during the past few vears.” Exciting Runaway. Startled by a trolley car near Towers’ corner on New Britain road, a pair of spirited horses hitched to a heavy wagon belonging to Joe, Angelo and Tony Renaldi of Turkey Hill, be- came frightened yesterday and ran away, throwing the driver from the seat and to the roadway. The animals then tore down the road toward Kensington at break- neck.speed, while a little boy, who had been riding in the rear, clung to the seat for his life. They turned Upson's corner and plunged down Farmington road, striking an Hast Berlin farmer’s wagon with such force as to throw it ten feet to one side. The impact of the crash was so great that one of the frightened steeds stumbled and fell on his fore- legs. Dragged along by his mate, he quickly regained his feet and, with renewed energy sped under the rail- road bridge. They were undecided as to which way to go upon arrival at Lyons’ barber shop, so they split the difference and ran up the stairs, which gave way beneath.their hoofs. | A few customers sitting in the estab- lishment fled through the back door trophies, If past performances can be judged, their hopes will surely be realized. Grange Mceting Tuesday. A meeting of the Berlin grange will be held next Tuesday evening in Mechanics hall on Worthington ridge. Members say that the ques- tion, of whether of not the new building is to be erected this year, will be threshed out at’ this time. Investigation Incomplete. State’'s Attorney Hugh M. Alcorn stated this morning that he had not completed his investigation into the cases appealed from the Berlin town court to the September term of the superior court, as yet, and. that he will be unable to announce if they are to be placed on the docket until a few days before the opening of the sessions. On Tuesday of this week, the at- torney consulted people who were witnesses for the state in the local trials, with a view of ascertaining the importance of the cases. Public opinion is that the Austin- Gordon assault cases will be thrown out. Both men, it. will be remem- bered, ‘were fined five dollars and that Representative Edward T. Car- ter will be ready to run again pro- vided no other candidates appear who are more desirous than he of coveting the honor. In the opinion of the republicans Mr. Carter ren- dered a good account of himself at capitol hill in Hartford two years ago and it is expected that he will be able to win the nomination at the caucus without much trouble. Two years ago Charles Hansen was a candidate for representative. He made quite a showing at the caucus. There are some republicans who feel that Mr. Hansen will enter the con- test this fall and that he will rally a considerable number to his support. George S. Babcock, clerk of the board of selectmen, and a recognized candidate for the nomination as first selectmen, has also been mentioned as a candidate for representative. Sev- eral friends of First Selectman Wil- liam J. Johnson have said that they would like to see him sent to the legislature as a reward for his work in managing town affairs during the last year. Among - the democrats who have been mentioned as legislative timber is C. H. Newton, the new treasurer of the Osborne & Stevenson company. Although Mr. Newton has been in Plainville only two years he has at- tained popularity among the demo- crats and his friends believe that he would make a good run at the polls. Merritt O. Ryder was the democrat. ic nominee for representative two years ago. If he has not decided to withdraw permanently from politics there are many democrats who would be in favor of nominating him again for representative. Mr. Ryder is so well known and has appeared before the voters so often that he may be expected to make a strong compaign. Obituary Notes.

The latter, when interviewed by a | reporter this morning, declined to enter .into a conversation on the rumored new party. He did not deny the fact that there is some truth to the story which is being ecirculated in political circles. Asked if he would Pe a candidate for any office on any ticket this year, he answered in the negacive, saying that he was not in a position to take any time from his business at present. “That does not mean, however,” he added, “that I won't be in the fight in future years.’ The republicans of the town are not inclined to regard the rumored party seriously and feel sure that, with the big republican gency und the small democratic force in Berlin, very big split hefore the election of their .candidates would, in the least, be endangered.

The Winsted automobile crash which resulted in the instant death of three men was almost duplicated in this town last night when a tour- ing car driven by one of the Le Bau brothers in Korestville left the high- way just this side of the town line and landed in a swamp. Fortunately none of the five occupants of the au- tomobile was badly mjured although all of them received min;)j bruises. The automobile party left Plainville early in the evening and had attained a high rate of speed by the time the machine reached the curve in the road just beyond the turnout on the Bristol tramway line. A local young man who was right tehind the machine on his motorcycle, says that the car suddenly began to skid from one side of the road to the cther. In less than a Jjiffy it had turned partly around, bounded off the highway narrowly missing a telephone pole, and crashed through the fence. In the force of the collision the spokes and rims on all the wheels were smashed and the body of the car shot clear of the wreckage of the wheels, landing in the swamp, a drop of four feet from the road. Arthur and Moise LeBeau of the grocery firm of LeBeau Brothers in Forestville were two occupants of the car. There were three other occu- rants whose names were not obtained. Dr. H. B.
