An offer has been sent in- to the recruiting office by a former National Guardsman, who s a crack shot, ot take charge of the rifle prac- tice and this offer will probably be taken.

LUMBER VESSEL OAPSIZES. Overturned in Gale 100 Miles Off San- dy Hook. % New York, April 7.—Captain Quinn and three members of the crew of the American sailing ship N. E.

Plaln News DITCHES CAR AFTER RUNNING MAN DOWN James Usher Endangers Own Life Trying to Save Pedestrian TRAMP STAGGERS INTO AUTO Bernard Gilson of Bridgeport, in Hos- pital With Brain Concussion—Leslie Burton Thrown Through Wind ' Shield—Good Friday Court Session. Staggering along the highway, Ber- nard Gilson, said to belong in Bridge- | port, stepped in the path of James Usher’s auto on the New Britain road: last evening and was so badly injured that he had to be removed to the New Britain General hospital. While it was at first feared that he had been fatally hurt, he had recovered con- scfousness this morning and it was sajd that barring unexpected develop- ments he will recover. He is suffer- ing from a concussion of the brain and multiple abrasions about the head. In his efforts to steer clear of the map, who walked in the path of the car as it was almost upon him, Mn Usher turned his machine into the ditch, the radiator crashing into a telegraph pole which lay near the roadside. Leslie Burton of this place, was a passenger in the car, was thrywn through the windshield beng badly cut about the head and body. His injuries, though pain- ful, are not regarded as serious. Mr. Usher escaped unhurt, 3 The accident occurred shortly after 9 o'clock. There is a deep gulley by the roadside into which Mr. Usher had to drive in his efforts to save the man on the highway, and the escape of the occupants of the car from death under the circumstances was almost miraculous. The machine was badly damaged and was left undisturbed until this' morning when it was taken to a garage for repairs. Gilfon, who is thought to be a tramp, acted as though intoxicated and the driver of the car apparently did his best to avoild hitting him. Following the-accident Mr. Usher no- tified Grand Jurors M. A. Norton and 8. 8 Gwillim and the latter hastened to the scene of trouble. The prose- cutors were inclined to place no re- sponsibility on Mr, Usher for the acci- dent, he seemingly having had the car under control at the time. "Good Friday Court. ) Justice A. H. Condell imposed sen-, tence of thirty days in jail, but sus- pended their execution on payment of costs in the cases of Joseph Dunn and Fred Coulette, who were arraigned yvesterday on charges of intoxication. They had been arrested Thursday night by Constable Marino. Both men are members of the transfer sta- tion force. The court put them on probation rather than send them to Jail. Constable Marino picked up another drunk last night in the person of Stanislaus Parawicz, who spent a good part of the evening in raising a distur- bance around the center. = The man had been ejected from Gleasbn’s lunch room and Lyman's cafe, because of his condition, and his continual curs- ing and boisterous conduct made his arrest necessary. He will be ar- raigned before night. To Attend Conference, P Jaohn E. Lamb will' represent the local M. E. church at the meeting of the .laymen to be held in Brooklyn, N. Y., next week in connection with the annual session of the New York East conference. Rev. J. A. Goodell will not attend the gathering. Mr. Goodell remains a member of the Oklahoma confer- ence and is serving in this section of the country, but temporarily. He proposes to eventually return to Guthrie, where he will rejoin the Methodist college faculty. It is mot expected that the conference will name a new pastor for the Plainville church but will arrange to have Mr. Goodell continue here for another yvear. He is popular with the mem- bers of the -church and they are anxious to have him remain here as long as possible, Other Church News.
