Wadsworth and Edgar Brown, both of Coventry. for $2,500 damages. An attachment of $3,000 has been placed on the property of the defendents. On August 26, 1909, the defendants were co-partenrs in running an amuse- ment resort in the form of a.pavilion, dance hall and refrshment stand at T.ake Wangumbaug, South Coventry, where they invited the general public to come and dance and in other ways amuse and refresh itself. The second clause in the writ states tha the place was open for business on August 26, 1909, and third that the plaintift, in compamy with several of her friends, entered the building to danee and o spéend -money for various forms of amusement and refreshment, and while -there the-floor of thé build- ing gave way, and, breaking through, the plaintiff was precipitated into the basement of sajd building a distarice of 20 feet, and then and there seriously injured, in that lier back was brulsei énd’injured and’that hiér body was oth- erwise bruised and injured’and that she was “infured internally. " Fourth that the said injuries received by the plain- tiff were caused by neslect of the de- fendants in not previding a u and substantial building for unnecessarily. alarmed at fancied il {: ‘who_is an | months, under penalty of 30 days for. | e sup- ter upon, w could haye easily been discovered by the defendants upon the exercise of due care and caution. Sflu by reason of 5a1d Injurics received the platntiff suf: fered great physical and mental pain and anguish, and suffered a great shock to her entire nervous system, and she has expended the sum of $200 for med- ical services and a nurse, and has since been unable to work at her trade as milliner by reason of sustaining said Jjuries; of which has caused the plaintift great damage and loss, and for which she asks $2,500 damages. The above suit is returnable the first Tues- day in September in the superior court. The service was made upon a Coyen— try party who is the agent, trustee and debtor of the defendants. Neison Gil- man, Sr, father of the plaintiff, has recognized in the sum of $75 to prose- cue the case. The papers in the case were served by John W. Watkins, dep- uty sheriff, Wednesday. . . Miss Gilman was one of the numBer of persons who narrowly escaped seri- ous injury at the lake last summer when the floor of the dancing pavilion collapsed, and that at the time of the accident several people were reported to have been fatally injured. Some of them were quite badly injused, and among the number was Miss Gilman, Wwho has ever since not been her nor- mal self, having been greatly shocked as the result of her bad fall and con- siderably -bruised about the back and body. i Badly Cut by Glass. Michael F. Denehey of Temple street sustained an’ injury to his right hand Tuesday while standing on the side- walk upon that thoroughfare, by rea- son of the fact that he was hit in the hand by a light of glass that fell from the window of a building above him. The glass cut quite a gash in the hand and there is a_possibility that blood poisoning may develop. ‘Mr. Denehey is of the opinion that the accident is the result of neglect up- on the part of some one, as, so far as can be learned, the pane of glass was not properly puttied into its place in the window frame. A suit for damages may be instituted against the owner of the property. FUNERAL. George Hall. The funeral of George Hall, who dled Monday at the home of his son, Marvjn W.
