Plainville News TRUCK RAMS AUTO; TWO PERSONS HURT Three Hurlod Through Doors, Plantsyille Man Arrested || CHRISTMAS CLUB CHECKS ,100—Believe At- tempt at Robbery Foiled—Mer- chants Give Constable Gift—Gov- | 25 Ycars—Briefs. Hurled through the doors of their ! large sedan as it was rammed by & grain truck about 3 o'clock yes- terday afternoon at Broad and Whiting streets, Mr. and Mrs. John Iries of Shellington, Pa., received injuries which necessitated their removal to the Hartford hospital after they had reccived first aid treatment from Dr. Lawrence H. Frost. Leon C. Stecle of Plantsville, driver of the truck, wus arrested by ernor Married i| Constable William Buys on a charge ol reckless driving. The Fries car, driven by a chauf- feur, was proceeding south on Whiting strect at the time of the accident. Steele, coming in the oppo- site direction, attempted to make & left turn into Broad street and fail- ¢d to time his maneuver properly, smashing head on into the leit side of' the Pennsylvania car near the steering wheel. The body of the pas- senger car was bent into the shape of a crescent, and this warping threw open the doors on the right side just as Mr. and Mrs. FKries and their chauffeur were hurled at them, This proved a fortunate circumstance, for the trio went through the open doors into the street, whereas they would have been thrown against the glass in the doors if the doors had not Leen sprung open. Traffic Officer David Kauffman was about to take up his station at the corner when the accident occur- red. He hastily sought another offi- cer to handle the case, sccuring Con- table Buys, and then took up his regular post to direct traffic as the schoolchildren came by on their way home. Dr. Frost was summoned and gave first aid, then had Mr. and Mrs. I'ries taken 1o the hospital. Mrs. Iries suffered a broken arm and it was feared that she might have in- ternal injuries, Her husband was badly cut on the neck and received minor cuts and brui He was re- lcased from the hospital after re- ceiving treatment. The chauffeur was uninjured. The ofic came to the concll- sion that Steele had tried to cut across in front of the Pennsylvania car, so they arrested him. Brought before Justice William Cunningham Lust evening, he pleaded not guilty. Upon request of Grand Juror Wil- liam J. Foran, his cuse was con- tinned for a week The body of the I'jies car was bat- tered out of shape beyond hope of repair, but the frame appeared un- lamaged and the engine escaped unscathed. The front end of the truck wgs damaged. $18,100 For Christmas Christmas club checks totalling the record sum of $15.400 were mailed to 473 club members yester- day by the Plainville Trust Co.

A large portion of this money will be spent in town, so that Plainville will profit doubly from the checks. The new 1929 club will begin to form during the week of December 7. Treasurer A. A. MacLeod of the Trust company stated this morning. Attempted Robhery Foiled What is believed to have been an attempt at robbery was frustrated about 3 o'clock this morning by the quick thinking of Mrs. Charles A. Pardee, who conducts a gasoline filling station near her home on Forestville avenue. Mrs. Pardee was awakened by a pounding on the door and found two men outside. They demanded that she come out and get them some gasoline, threat- ening to break into the house if &he did not comply with their orders. ing that the pair were merely using an cxcuse to get the house door open so they could enter ‘t.

She then called Constable George Schu- bert. When they heard Mrs. Pardee talking to the constable the two men ran back into their car and started hurriedly off toward Bristol. Con- stable Schubert notified the Bristol police to be on the whtch, but the pair were not sighted in the neigh- boring city. Governor Married 35 Years Governor and Mrs. John H. Trum- bull today are observing their silver wedding. They were married at the home of Mrs. Trumbull's parents on Farmington avenue .on November 28, 1903.

Present For Constable A purse of gold in recognition of his services as night patrolman dur- ing the past year was presented to Constable George Schubert by Plain- ville merchants last night at a meet- ing in Odd FKellows' hall. The money had been collected by John Pettinato and Vicenzo Minella, the latter making the formal presenta- tion. Officer Schburt's work since his appointment as night patrolman has been highly satisfactory, the merchants feel, and they took this opportunity of s Thanksgiving gift 28 2 means of letting him know that they appreciated it. Constable Schubert today thanked the merchants for their gift, adding modestly, “I don't fook for such things. My work is in my line of duty.” It was the first time an of- ficer had been so rewarded, and Schubert was duly grateful, I Christmas Sale The Ladies' Aid Socicty of the Plainville M.

Ofticers Warns Parents A varning to parents of school children wag issued today by Traftic Officer David Kauffman, who is now serving his fourth year as director of traffic at Rroad and ‘Whiting streets during the hours when chil- dren are going to and from school. Officer Kauffman stated that, when he is allowing automobile traffic to proceed, the children are too im- patient fo wait on the corner until he signals them to go. Inatead, they walk a few score yards up the street and scuttle across there, regardless of whether auto traffic is stopped or not. They are beyond his control when 8o far from the corner, Kauff- man contintied, and he says that they are endangering their lives. The officer advised parents to in- struet their children to remain where he could keep watch over them and to cross only when he signalled them to do so. Tn this way, he said. the fathers and mothers cofild cooperate with him in safeguarding their youngsters from possible injury. Condition of Injured The condition of Leroy Tuttle, 3- year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Dwight T. Tuftle is improving slowly. Leslie M. Atwater is able to sit up a por- tion of each day .
