VES BA:LY HUAT I8 RUNAWAY . Laura Smith Still Unconscious Mna Mrs, Webster at Hospital as | e Mbout a dozen of' the more prom- | . iment politicians of the town held a ‘meeting in the room Saturday night and, as far as can be learned, Wwent the special report thoroughly and then of Serious Accident— ! i Debate Tonight. court committee’s outlined & plan for procedure at the adjourned ennual town meeting which is to be held op the first Monday in April. ° Among those present were Colonel Charles M. Jarvis, Major Frank L. Wilcox, Representative Roger M. Griswold, Selectman William H. Gib- ney, E. W, Mildrym, Francis Dem- ing, ex-Senator Claude W, Stevens, A. A. North, R. .O. Clark, BEdward T. Clark, William H. Webster and John T. Molumpay. Tt {5 understood that those present were invited by Repub- lican Town Committeeman Webster. Although the politicians adopted a “policy of extreme reticence regarding the nature of the meeting, it is said that it was held with an object of | getting matters into such a shape as to avoid wrangle at the adjourned meeting. 1t is felt that; unless some- thing definite is planned, it will be difficult to complish anything at the meeting. Undoubtedly, there will be g record-breaking attendance again, and if the leaders do not agree on some action beforehand, there will be motions galore, with the result that very litle business will be transacted. In general, the voters of the town were satisfied with the report of the special committee, but it grieved many of them to sce the fair name of the town besmirched with mud, accounts of the condition of affalrs “nere having received state-wide pub- Tiei The leaders are, therefore, aware of the fact that much interest is centered about their town and, as they desire to avoid any morc unde- sirable notoriety, they believe they should concentrate their efforts to- wards making the adjourned meeting k harmonious as possible. This, they realize, will not be an easy mat- ter, Inasmuch as a number of the |roperty owners nave made it known that they are going to air thelr grievances’ at that time. So, to begin with, it was agreed that the meeting Saturday night should be " peaceful; in fact it was referred to as #the “Peaceful Meeting.” = Evidently, t must have been interesting, though, " for it was not adjourned- until after { the clock had struck the hour of ! eleven. . Selectman Gibney i8 known to have over clear his stand, giving a cise and clear explanation of matters concerning him. The system of bookkeeping now in voguc was dis- cussed thoroughly ‘and other methods were considered also. The ‘recom- mendation of the expert accountant met with favor and it is understood that the politicians decided "to en- dorse it. Badly Hurt in Runaway. Miss Laura Smith conscious condition Norton ‘road, and Vermont woman, very con- lies in a semi. at her hame on Mrs. Webster, a who has been her guest since last Friday, is in a pri- vate room at the New Britain hos- pital with a broken leg as the result| of a bad runaway accident in whicn they figured yesterday -afternoon. The women were driving along Norton road and-lost cantrol of-the horse while going down the hill near Philip Norton's place. Miss Smith, who was driving, perceived the bridge at the foot of the grade, but despite her efforts the harse, which had be- | come thoroughly frightened, ran touo close to the side of the structure with the result that 'the carriage crashed into the guard rail. Both occupants weré thrown over the dash- board to the rocks at the side and the harness having broken, the horse dashed up the road. Some children playing in one of the neighboring fields saw the horse running along the road, and suspect- ing that there must have been an accident, ran down to the bridge and found the ‘ladies lying in the road rear the wrecked carriage. They notified Mrs. Young, who lives near- by and she hurried down and did what she could for the comfort of the victims and gave instructions for the summoning of Dr R. M. and M. H. Griswold. Then they arrived; the ladies were removed to the home of August Haman and in the mean- time, a telephone call was sent to New Britain for two automobiles in which to convey the patients to Miss Smith's home. The doctors found that Miss Smith was suffering from a concussion of the brain, had a severe scalp wound and was injured about the back. She was uncanscious and had not recov- ered up to an early hour this after- noon. Mrs. Webster’s right leg was fractured between the thigh and knee and she was suffering from a num- ber of contusions about her body. She was removed to the hospital this af- ternoon and an X-ray examination | was made. Dr. Griswold says that it is impossible to determine at this time, whether or not Miss Smith h: a fractured skull He believes that she is in no immediate danger and will recover. Miss Smith was formerly a mission- ary in Africa. Last summer she did Home Missionary work at Eden, Ver- mont, in which town Mrs. Webster resides. The latter came here for| a short visit and her hostess was tak. | ing her for a little ride when the ! unfortunate accident occurred. !
