N. Bull a few minutes later. The little fellow’s jaw was broken, his skull fractured and his body otherwise bruised. When picked up he was unconscious and had but a very feeble pulse. He was rushed to the office of Dr. Bull, the physiclan immediately determining that there was nothing that could be done to save his life. The boy was taken into the doctor’s office where he expired. Medical Ex- aminer C. W. Moody viewed the body and gave parmission to Undertaker M. Leo Prior for its removal to the Ma- loney home.

Bail was furnished by Dr. Mendel Volkenheim of New Britain. Eye witnesses of the tragedy are not inclined to place responsibility for the child’s death on Winkle, as they claim he was driving at a reasonable rate of speed and was unable to avoid striking the youngster. The Maloney boy was playing with Harry Zickwolf, Willam Tolli and Robert Thorn as the automobile, proceeding towards Bristo], hove into view. His mind concentrated on the game, the little fellow, heedless of danger, darted af- ter the “peggy’’, coming directly in the path of the car, which was then but a few feet away. Winkle jammed the brakes in an effort to avoid run- ning down the youngster, but a col- lision seemed inevitable, according to witnesses, and the boy was struck. The car struck him on the side of the head, knocking him down, one of the wheels subsequently passing over him. Winkle brought the car to a stop within a few feet of the spot where the boy was struck, picked up the unconscious form of the victim, and hurried to the doctor’s office. A frac- ture at the base.of the brain, how- ever, made his recovery impossible, and he breathed his last as he was taken into the physician’s house. Winkle subsequently surrendered to the authorities, and his case came up in the Town building during the even- ing. The accused waived examination and, on recommendation of Grand Juror 8. 8. Gwillim, he was bound over, judgment as to responsibility to be left to the higher tribunal. Should an investigation show that Winkle ‘was not to blame, the state’s attorney will drop the case without trial. There is genuine sympathy in the community for the family of the un- fortunate youth. The boy was a bright and courteous little fellow and was popular with his associates. He was a pupil in the Grammar school. Besides his parents, he leaves two sis- ters, the Misses Anna and Alice Ma- loney. ‘Want Land Condemned. Notice of its intent to bring pro- ceedings to condemn land that it might be used for railroad purposes ‘was served on the Trumbull Electric Manufacturing company by the New Haven road yesterday following un- succeessful efforts on the part of the corporation’ representatives to pur- chase certain property which it wants to make possible the laying of a spur track in the eastern section of the town. The Trumbull company, the select- men and citizens of prominence pro- pose to resist the efforts of the railroad to force a sale of the land and when it brings its case before the public utilities committee it is likely that or- ganized opposition will be presented by the town. The company proposes to increase its transfer business at the local freight yards and instead of doing its switching in the yard, plans have been made for utilizing spur tracks for this purpose. The company has already started the laying of extra iron from the depot towards Forest- ville, and it is understood that it also e B e e and Mrs. G. H. Forbes of New York.

The Trumbull company has refused to sell the land asked for in the vi- cinity of its factory, contending that such a track would be a public nuis- ance rather than a public necessity, and on that grounds the utilities com- mission will be asked to reject ths claims of the railroad. J. H. Trumbull, president of the company, in discussing the matter this morning, 'said that if the extra track would'be of any use to Plainville, he ‘would be glad to give the railroad the land, but under the conditions he con- sidered the plans would be detrimen- tal to the town's interests. The pro- posed trackage would not in any way, he claims, facilttatethe handling of Plainville business, but would simply permit the railroad to convert the town into a freight yard. It would mean that the East and East Main street crossings which are, it is said, at present blocked by switchers a good part of the day, would be even worse. Then there would be an ad- ditional influx of undesirables to work at the transfer station. Plainville has had considerable experience in hand- ling transfer station truckers, and the town has paid a big price for the “privilege” of having them here. It costs money to look after them and in addition it makes the town resem- ble the river section of a city rather than a residential ¢ommunity. “Drunks” by the score dot the streets after the railroad pays off its men, and the sight which the gang presents is. nauseating to the townspeople. They claim to have had enough of it and when the railroad appears be- fore the utilities board to secure con- demnation of the Trumbull property, it is expected there will be a formid- able array of witnesses in opposition. Food Rally Tonight. Plainville will take its first formal step in the conservation of food move- ment tonight when the residents will gather in the Town hall to attend the first of a series of food rallies. The affair will begin at 8:15. The speakers will be Otis H. Moore, employed” by the Hartford County league, and Judge Fahey of Rockville, both experts on crop production. As the speakers will have a mes- sage of interest to all, men as well as women, are invited to attend the ral- ly. Henry Trumbull, Plainville’s repre- sentative in the league, will preside at the gathering. $1,000 for Red Croes. Announcement was made today of the action of the Trumbull Electric Manufacturing company in contribut- ing $1,000 towards Plainville’s share | of the fund which is being raised for the Red Cross and the Y.

Appeals have . made to the individuals who it believed can afford to give substantial amounts and they are ex- peoted to give. their pledges by -to- morrow night. C. A. Bennett of New Britain, ‘who is active in the campaign, gave an address to the workers last night, explaining the need of money as well as men for the successful conduct of the war. Speaking of his company’s contri- bution, President Trumbull ‘said to- day that it is time the people of the nation wake up to the fact that the country is engaged in a real war, the speedy winning of which must mean big sacrifices for all. 'They can have a share of my /money or my time or whatever else I may have that will be of use to them,” he de- clared. “The elimination of the sub- marine menace or a revolution in Germany appear to be the only con- tingencies that would cause the war to end soon,” he argued, “and we must get busy.” Auto “Bucks” Trolley Oar. A Ford auto, owned and driven by J. 8. Wilkinson, rammed a trolley car in front of the post office this somewhat damaged “rambled along” & few, minutes later. Mr. Wilkinson in attempting to make the car “about face” collided with the trolley car, breaking the lights and mud guard oan his ma- chine. The trolley car was backed up to permit the removal of the auto which it appeared should have been wrecked by the impact. The owner cranked the engine and the little machine continued its jour- mney without any further protest.
