Plainville News SUIT MAY FOLLOW AUTO COLLISION New Britain Machines Come to Grief at Plainville Genter POLICE ARE INVESTIGATING Car Owners Disclaim Responsibility— Hotel Deal Falls Through—Census Blanks MWHMy Night ‘Weddings—Other Matters, . Civil action, is not prosecution un- der the criminal statutes, is expected to be an echo to an automobile crash at the center yesterday afternoon when machines owned by C. J. Law and W. W. Wheeler, both of New Britain, cametogether, both cars be- ing seriously damaged. The accident has been reported to the authorities and should the evidence warrant a charge of reckless driving may be presented. 3y 4 Both Mr. Law and the chauffeur of Mr. Wheeler’s car disclaim responsi- bility for the smash. The fenders on Mr. Law's machine were bent while the Wheeler car was badly_ damaged in many places. Fortunately the occu- pants of neither car were hurt. As the owners of both cars declare that they were in no way to blame it is likely that litigation will be started to collect for the damages. There were several witnesses to the accident and the local authorities hawe inter- viewed them regarding it. Another Riot Threatened. ‘What might have been a riot, al- most of the proportions of the one which took place a few years ago when the Gas house gang visited Plainville, was averted Saturday night as the result of caution displayed by a New Britain contingent, members of which had threatened to clean up the town. The Hardware eity boys and Plain- villites had a row a few nights ago when they were returning from the Southington fair. Saturday night the gang from the neighboring city again attended the fair and when going through this town early in the eve- ning one of them was reported as hav- ing declared that they would return on the last car and would do dire things to anyone found on the strests. The word was apparently passed along the,line as when the last car came into view there were perhaps fifty young men waliting at the center, prepared to meet any emergency which might arise. When the “car stopped the New Britain boys took a peek through the windows and aft- er looking over the reception com- mittee decided that discretion was the better part of valor and they didn’t leave their seats, although invited to “come outside.” Had they accepted the invitation there was every indication of pending trouble. Two Couples Wed. Rev. W. A. Goodell officiated at two weddings at the Methodist parsonage on Broad street, two Plainville couples joining the matrimonial ranks. Frederick Fox, son of James Fox of Bohemia street, and Miss Gertrude Dow, a daughter of Mr, and Mrs. Lester J. Dow, were married at 7 o’clock. They were attended by the bride's brother, H. L. Dow and his wife. The couple, after their honey- moon, will reside in town. Mr. Goodell also pronounced the words that made Henry Grayson and Mrs. Hanna Onion husband and wife. The bride was a widow. It was also T ———— PIMPLY? WELL, DON'T BE! People Notice It. Drive Them Off with Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets A pimply face will not embarrass you much longer if you get a package of Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets. The skin should begin to clear after you have taken the tablets a few nights. _ Cleanse the blood, the bowels and the fiver with Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets, the successful substitute for calomel— there’s never any sickness or pain after taking them. Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets do that which calomel does, and just as effec- tively, but their action is gentle and safe instead of severe and irritating. No one who takes Olive Tablets is ever cursed with “a dark brown taste,” a bad breath, a dull, listless, “no good” feeling, constipation, torpid liver, bad disposition or pimply face. Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets are a purely vegetable compound mixed with olive oil; you will know them by their olive color. Dr. Edwards spent years among pa- tients afflicted with liver and bowel complaints, and Olive Tablets are the immensely effective result. Take one or two nightly for a week.

In connection with the taking of the war census in Plainville Constable Marino, at the suggestion of the selec- tion, has distributed a number of the blanks sent here by state officlals in charge of the enrollment. The' re- ciplents are expected to answer the many questions specified on the blanks to, secure the necessary infor- mation, returning them to the select- men. 2 Should this method fail to produce the desired results the board will have enumerators make a personal canvass. It is hoped, however, that the men of the town will show their interest in Governor Holcomb's plan of having Connecticut prepared to furnish the war department with complete information in the event of hostilities with European powers, by | answering the questions asked on the blanks, returning them as soon as possible. This will serve to expedite the work and save the officials con- { siderable efforts and possibly make It unnecessary for the town to go to any great expense in compiling a lo- cal list. Hotel Deal Off. Plans of Willlam W. Hanna and | John W.

Judge Epapro- ditus Peck, administrator of the estate, secured permission from the probabls court to dispose of the property and it was understood’ that the prospective buyers had put up a deposit. The men had planned to either or- ganize a country club or run the place as a hotel.
