Julius Woodruff, acting in the ca- pacity of assistant postmaster at the Tast Berlin post office, fell on the ice Saturday night and badly in- jured his back. He had stopped in the Berlin post office on his way home he slipped on a small piece of ice and fell heavily to the ground. So badly was he injured that he was unable to regain his feet and had to call for assistance. After some of the neigh- btors had assisted him to his home Dr. T. C. Hodgson was called and he found that Woodruff had a bad- ly strained ck as well as several Lody bruises. The fail will keep him confined to his bed for a week or more. Mr. Woodruff is well Known to the residents of Berlin as he carried the rural mail there for fourteen years. Early last spring the government de- cided to give up one of the rural routes in Berlin and after the in- spectors had made the rounds it was decided that the Kensington route, conducted by Mr. Willlams. would be the only one retained leaving Mr. Woodruff out of 2 job.

Flood Still Continues. Despite the fact that any number of camplaints have been made about the floods of water from time to time under the Kensington railroad bridse they still continue with more or less frequency. Almost every day a gang of men can be found at: work under the bridge clearing away the ice. | There is a drop of almost a faot from | the present bed of ice to the level of the car tracks and two teams passing under the bridge have to use the greatest of care in order to avold an accident. The sewer was cleaned a week or two ago but evidently the entire length of pipe was not taken up as the water still backs up and on cold nights makes a bed of ice which has to be cleared out the mext day. Something should be done about the matter as it-is a serious menace to traffic. Berlin Briefs. Word has been received in Berlin that Miss Laura Smith has arrived in Africa.

Having but a very hazy recollection of the events of last Tuesday night when it was reported he was beaten and robbed in the alleyway near the Hotel Clarendon, Joseph Farrell, the mysterious victim of the alleged hold- up, made an appearance in town Sat- | urday night, Deputy Sheriff James Doyle of Bristol, escorting him here { for a conference with Grand Juror M. A. Norton. The finding of Far- rell, however, failed .to clear the mystery which sufrounded the al- leged robbery and in police circlel to- day it was not known whether any further action will be taken, lack of cumulative evidence making It diffi- cult for the authorities to have very high hopes of a conviction. With a border of mourning hue circling his eye, where he had been punched by his alleged assailants, Farrell, who had been sought by both the local and state authorities for several days, returned to Bristol Sat- urday night to collect pay due him af the Bristol Brass company’s plant where he had been employed. Sheriff | Doyle was acting as custodian of some of his funds and Farrell called on him to secure®it. The sheriff- ha been advised of the reported hold-up and at the request of Grand Juror | Norton he brought him here for ex- amination. Although he expressed the' belief that he had been robbed, he admitted that he was so drunk at the time he couldn’t say for a certainty that any money had been taken from him. Last Tuesday he started out wtih $85 in his clothes. He visited several of the saloons in Bristol and finally came to Plainville. He recalled hav- ing been in two saloons here and re- membered that he had difficulty of some sort with two young men, one of whom struck him in the face. When he returned to Bristol he had but $29 of his roll left. This was taken from him by Sheriff Doyle for safe keeping, the officer having been asked by Grand Juror Norton to hold him should he be found in the neigh- boring city. The officer, it is under- stood, allowed him to go after taking his money, believing that he could | be located without difficulty when wanted. Farrell left the Bristol Brass camp, where he was living, the following morning and did not return until Sat- urday. After his examination by the grand juror, Farrell was turned over to Officer Mitchell of the state police de- partment who grilled him further, securing, it is said, no additional in- formation. Warrant for the arrest of the two young men sald to be implicated in the robbery were issued Tuesday night by Grand Juror Norton and when the state police were called into the case were ready for service in the event that Farrell would give the evidence. Acting in conjunction with Prose- cutor Norton, Constable Downing had | been searching for Farrell since | Tuesday and it was on his suggestion that the victim was held by Sheriff Doyle. Saturday night Farrell said he could not recognize the men who attacked him and he did not wish to ask for their arrest because of the many uncertainties concerning the case. This morning he seemed to take a different ‘'view of it. He met Consta- ble Philip Marino on a Hartford bound dinky and during his conver- sation was inclined to be severe in his criticism of Plainville authorities. He claimed that while he could give no direct evidence that he was robbed, { because of his condition at the time, | he knew that he didn’'t spend the money and in view of the fact that he was beaten and knocked down he presumes he must have been relieved of the roll which he boastingly ex- hibited in the saloons. “Yoy can't get any justice in Plainville, anyway,” he told the policeman. Asked regarding what course would be 'pursued. Prosecutor Norton said this morning he didn’t know. He personally secured all the evidence obtainable on the night of the alleged hold-up, had witnesses as to the as sult and made himself generally miliar with it. He gave what infor- | mation he had to the state police, ad- vising them in-addition, that warrants had been issued and was prepared to present the case to a justice should they see fit to make an arrest, One of Farrell's alleged assailants left town a few hours after the al- leged robbery and has not been seen since. It was reported here that he had gone South, accompanied by a friend, who had no connection with the hold-up. Chief Thomas F. Egan of the state police department admitted this morn- ing that his men have taken an in- terest in the case. He believed that Farrell without question had been re- lieved of some of his money but he was unable to say whether the evi- dence obtained is sufficient to make the serving of a warrant advisable | should:the absent suspect be located. 1 Drunks in Sunday Court. | The usual quota of SaturdaV night | drunks occupied the attention of Jus- [ tice Condall and Grand Juror | S 8 Gwillim yesterday. i fa fa- Fines werelplainw against the report of the as- AGENTS .
