Gallivan is employed on the ' third floor of the factory building and was working at his lathe when | he .was shot. The authorities were | notifled and it is their opinion that; Gallivan was the victim of an accl-! dent, rather than the target of a ma- ' licious gunman. Inasmuch as the: Portland man is well liked and has no +.enemies, the epinion that the bullet ‘went astray from some careless hunts- | man nearby seems to prevail. i Galllvan was taken to the home of Dr. Griswold, but as the doctor was on a visit to Fort Ethan Allen, where his son is a lieutenant in the medical . corps, a trip had to be made to New | _Britain to find a physician.

Stole Pair of Shoes, Accused of stealing a pair of shoes from a fellow-employe at the transfer station a few days ago, a man bur- dened with a name as long as a short sentence, was taken into custody last evening by Officer Marino. Although alleged offender was cunning enough to take the shoes, which were new ones, to a shoemaker and ask to have rubber heels put on to avoid identification, he was caught red- handed as he was coming out of the shoe-shop. The arrest followed a complaint made to Officer Marino by the railroad detective stationed at Plainville. He was arraigned in court this afternoon. The case of William Kramer, ac- cused of operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of liquor, was adjourned yesterday until Thurs- day evening at 7:30. It is probable that some settlement will be made between him and the Southington man, the principals in the auto ac- cident on Southington road last Tuesday night. For the Championship. Tomorrow evening at 8:30, Flavy Benjamin, of the town, known in sporting circles as the “French Whirl- wind,” will wrestle Alva Ventres, of Berlin (Conn.) in Turner Hall, Britain, for the lightweight cham- pionship of New land. Both men are in the pink of condition and a good bout is assured, During the past few weeks each of these young men who are both known in this vicinity, have been training for the coming grind. Each is sure of winning. Neither man has ever been thrown though they have met light- welghts and light heavyweights for the past several years. Ventres is conceded to be the best lightweight in New England, having won that title several years - ago. Benjamin Is pronounced as one of the best at 135 pounds in the country and has thrown the best ip his class. He made quite a reputation in Chicago where he lived for several years. As there is always more or less rivalry between Plainville and Berlin it is expected that a large delegation will be present from each town to root for their respective favorite. According to the dopesters, the match should be a whirlwind affair with the odds on neither side. Subscriptions Coming Tn. Yesterday several hundred dollars was added to the subscriptions for the second Liberty Loan. Buttons | have been received at the bank and one will be given to each purchaser of a bond. The rea] big drive will start next Monday when the plans formulated at the meeting of the general committee tonight will be set in action. Al- though the quota is triple the allot- ment designated Plainville when the first Liberty Loan was floated, it is expected that, through the efforts of the business, professional and other men as well as through the women’s organization, no trouble will be ex- perienced in raising the amount.
