Durkee Sustains Hurts When Car Strikes His Wagon 1S THROWN T0 PAVEMENT New Team Will Start Season in Ken- sington—News in The Churches of Retum With Berlin — Berlinites Large String of Fish. James H. Durkee, well known in BerHn as the proprietor of a trucking business, was severely injured yeste:- day afternoon when‘a wagon he was driving was struck by an automobile bn the Berlin turnpike about a quar- ter mile below the South school house. Mr. Durkée was thrown from the ve- hicle and sustained a broken arm and other injuries. According to the story the man was proceeding north 'pike with a two ton load of . sand, “ two horses being attached to his wagon. The wagon was hit from the + rear by an automobile also on its way north. The car was a Hudson with a commerclal body attached and the driver was Carrol D. Spiller of Low- ell, Mass. The car is owned by P. C. Ayers, also of Lowell. Mr. Durkee was thrown clear of the wagon and landed on his back some feet away. His right arm was broken in two places below the elbow and his back was badly wrenched, F. E. Wil- liams happened to come along soon after the accident and he caught the horses, which had started to run away. One of the horses was badly hurt. It may be shot. It is probable that Mr. Dutkee would have been more seriously hurt, if not killed, had it not been for the welght of the sand which held the wagon down and prevented more se- rious damage. He is being treated by Dr. E. W. 8mith of Meriden. The injured man, about a year ago, was seriously injured by a buzz-saw and at one time it was thought that he would not live, The accident yes- terday is peculiar in view of the fact that there were no other vehicles of any kind in sight when it happened. An investigation of the accident is being carried on. New Team Plans Action ! A new team in Kensington, the All- OUCH!

It Is planned to place signain front of the Nerl Block pointing the direc- tion out Whiting street to Waterbury |and New Haven and pointing out | East Main street to Hartford, Spring- fleld and New Britain. In front of the taxi station at the corner of West and East Main rington, Bristol, Terryville and Water- || bury. On the corner in front of the Russell property, signs will be also erected showing the way to Water- bury, Meriden and New Haven. A resolution was presented at the + BATHROOM OR NOTE HOW YoU mission of the voters to have the selectmen spend $100 for this pur- ‘pom‘. The resolution was presented in order to get the sentiment of the voters. All who spoke on the matter seemed to think that the need of signs was pressing and for that reason the | selectmen should have them erected. Estimates will be sought on the signs | and the work on them will be started in the near future. Another addftion in the sign line which would more than benefit the town would be to have at the en- trance of the town a sign erected wel- coming travellers to Plainville, and bidding them to call again. It has been suggested that the Chamber of Commerce erect these signs without going to the town for the money. The sign wowd read something like this ,according to those who are pushing the movement: “The Plainville Chamber of Commerce Wel- comes You,” and one the rear of the same board, the words “Come Again.” Auto Crash Reported A crash between a touring car and a small truck was reported to have happened near Cooke's ice house on the New Britain road last night about 9 o'clock.

ABORIGINES (Hye Foundation Expedition at Work Near Gallup, N. M. Los Angeles, Sept, 22— Excavatio of interest and impertance to the world are being made at the Hawi- | kuh prehistoric village site, about &0 miles from Gallup, N. M, by mem- | hers of the Heye Foundation museum | of the American Indian, of New York, | according to Capt, Thomas A. Joyee, | archacologist and vice-president of | the Roya! Anthropological Institute | of Great Rritain and Irveland, who | made Los Angeles his headquarters | |preparatory to vigiting excavation work at Santa Barbara and Santa Catalina Island, Cal, Captain Joyee passéd considerable time at the New | Mexico excavations, | “The chief present interest of the founder and dirgetor of the museum, George Heye," sdid Captain Joyce, “is |the Hendricks.Hodgg expedition which | has made a number of important dis. | coveries at Hawikuh, Other archaeo- logists are conducting excavations at Kechipauan, a few miles from Hawi- kuh | "It is one of the richest archaeolog- | ical fislds on the American continent, sald Captain Joyee. “The work now going on there, the results of which | vever before have been published, | will undoubtedly throw a new light | on our information relative to the people who inhabitated America prior | to its discovery by Columbus, “Although the work of excavating the prehistoric ruins has just started, | we have established without = doubt that both Hawikub and Kechipauan | are two of the seven settlements| known as ‘The Seven Cities of Cibola," seen by Vasquez de Coronada. | “Presence of iron on some of the top layers of the excavation' signifies that the villages were ancient before the Spanish conquest. Other cenclu-« | sive proof found is the gradual de- velopme®t of pottery uncovered. In the lower levels, the pottery is plain and it graduates into some very ex- | cellent examples as higher levels arni reached. “The excavations reveal that a suc- cession of tribes inhabitated this re- gion in prehistoric days. They also | show the gradual development of the human beings who lived there frnom the age of the crude stone imple- | ments up to the more advanced pe- riods. Evidence also has been found tending to show that sometimes a con- siderable period elapsed between the passing of one tribe and the coming of the next. “Articles unearthed bear a striking Michael and All Plainville Briefs The Loyal Temperance Legion will | hold its postponed annual meeting in the Town hall Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock.
