Rentree Dies at Home on Church Street AUTOS BLOCK FIRE TRUCKS Bad Tie-up at Redstone Hill Blaze —Olson's Homer Wius for Peck spring—Truck sinks in Milford Street Sand—Asks Bids for Carry- ing Mail—Briefs, Commissary Sergeant William G. Renfree, one of Plainville's last four Civil War veterans and A department G. A. R. officer, answered the final bugle call list night when he died at the home of his danghter, Mrs. | William Scoville of 34 Chiirch street, at 10:15 o'clock. He would have been £4 years old in September. “Colonel” R ¢, as he was af- fectionately called by the large 1rumber of townspeopls who knew and loved the old man, was born in Monnon, England, in 1842, mi- grating to this country when about six years old. The town o Thomas- ton was his first d:ces in this country, and he very naturally be- came a clock-maker by trade. On October 11, 1861, he enlisted as a private from Plymouth and served with Co. B, 1st Connecticut cavalry, This regiment participated in 8S battles and skirmishes, serv- ing as infantry and artillery as well as cavalry when occasion demanded, fighting on horse and afoot, in field and behind breastworks. The local man was promoted to a sergeancy on October 1, 1862, On January 1, 1864, his enlistment term expired, but he re-enlisted and was appointed commissary sergeant. Among the battles in which Ser- geant Renfree took part were Port Lepublie, Cedar Mountain, Bull Run, Chantilly, the Wilderness, Spottsyl- vania Court House, Winchester, Cedar Creek, Dinwiddie Court House, Five Forks, Sailor's Creck and Ap- pomattox. During the last months of the war he was with Sheridan campaigns and was h when Lee surren- He was wounded in the leg and had his horse shot under him. He retained the piece of metal which hit him and kept it with his large collection of war relics. | When the war was ovor, he was | mustered out on August 2, 1863, and returned to Thomaston. During bricf stay in Illinois ne met and married Miss Catherine Albright in 1870, Returning east, he lived in| Winsted and then Bristoi. About 16 | vears ago he ceased practising his clockmaker's trade and came here {o live with his daughter, He had known whether the blaze was Bristol or Plainville, the flames were shooting skyward so rapidly | that delay was impossible and Chief | Prior summoned Driver James R. Boswell, who made a quick run in the big Mack truck. A forestville truck was already at the scene when the local firemen arrived, and the two departments joined forces in combating the flames. These had made such head- way before being discovered that the firemen's efforts were vain and the barn burned to the ground. It is not believed that it contained any- thing of much value. The steady succession of automo. biles which streamed after the fire apparatus completely blocked the road, and when Chief Hayes ar-! rived with two more trucks from Bristol he was unable to approach the fire. After the flames had | been extinguished an cven worse jam was occasioned. Two of the autos had run out of gas and could not he removed from the road un- til the Plainville firemen replen- ished their tanks with_gas from the | big fire truck. Had a fire broken out in Plainville at the time the Pope truck would have been the inly apparatus available and a seri- ous blaze would probabtv have re- | sulted. Chief Prior is determined to stop the practice of blocking roads | about a fire and is threatening ar- rests if it continues. Motcrists are warned not to approach within 500 feet of the fire and to !rave the roads open. Peck Spring Wins Again i | Rusinessmen a Trumbull Electric .. Peck Spring. Standard Steel ... 1 4 .200 Olson's home run with the bases | full in the last inning of the In- dustrial league game between the | Trumbull Electric and Peck Spring- Plainville Casting baseball teams last night gave the Spring Casters an 8-2 victory and knocked the Temcos out of firt place for the first time since the league started. The game had been an exceptionally close one up to that time, with Freddy Miller having a slight edge on Dudac and the Trumbulls lead- ing by 2. In the final frame, however, the Peck Spring batters smashed Miller's offerings hard, taking advantage of his loss of “stuff” caused by the moist ball. The Spring Casters’ rally climaxed in Olson’s four-play swat, and Miller, who couldn’t retire a batter, had to retire in favor of Backman, who managed to get the side out with one one more hit and a walk added to the rally. Dudac pitched a fine game, hold- ing what is rated the heaviest hitting team in the league to two hits. e struck out eight batters and had a world of speed and curves despite the rain. Derby made a pretty triple, but he was the only Temco player to do much with the ctick. The winners hit hard when hits meant runs. Babich and Derby made a snappy double play which saved Miller on one occasion.

Autos Block Fire Trucks ExoMement sceking motorists greatly hampered the Plainville and Bristol fire departments last night when the barn of Joe Nacartiola was destroyed by fire shortly before midnight. They thronged the road and made it impossible for some of the apparatus to reach the scene, when even those picces which ar- rived ahead of the fire fiends were forced to wait some time before they could return, Chief E. P. Prior of Plainville and Chiet Hayes of Bristol are righteously indignant about the matter, and. had the fire not been approximately on the town line, the Dristol chief would un- doubtedly have made several arrests last night.
