HIS BACK BROKEN. Bags of Flour Fell on Amede Beaure- gard, a Church Street Baker. Amede Beauregard of 125 Walnut street sustained a severe injury Tues- day night while at his work in the bakery of Blanchette & Hoffman on Church street. While getting a bag of flour, he slipped and fell to the floor, a dozen bags falling upon him. Fellow empioyes rushed to his assistance, but he was so badly injured that it was considered advisable to take him to the hospital. The discovery was made there that his back was broken. His condition was serious Wednesday and feared that he will be perma- jured, even if he should sur- vive the accident. Mr. Beauregard has been a resident of the city for many years, and at one time worked for Henry Snyder. C Two Men to Be Examined as to Sanity John J.

An organization of young women of St. James' parish is being established for the purpose of doing special work in the way of raising funds for the church, Repairs have been completed to the tower of the public school at East Killingly, from which the tin roofing Wwas ripped off in the gale Sunday.

One of the railroad gates at the Main street crossing, the one on the north and west side of the tracks, was snapped off close to the metal base to which the gate was attached when it was caught by one of the top- most row of yarn cases loadéd on a big wagon of the Max Gordon corpor- ation, Wednesday morning. The driver was bound to the freight station with the load of boxes when the accident happened and the boxes caught in the gate, bending it over like a whip, Bent { to the limit the gate snapped off and | came toppling down onto the hips of ie big gray horse drawing the load. "he animal squatted slightly when the gate came down with a crash, but did not make any attempt to run away The driver, seated high up on the load | of boxes, was not in a position to help | | straighten out the tangle, but men in | the vicinity ran to his aid and took | | the gate off the horse. The section | of gate broken off was about 15 feet | in length. OBITUARY. Mrs. William Buchanan, Mrs. Mary (Rivers) Hoyle B chanan, wife of Wiillam Buchanan, died In St. Joseph’'s hospital in Providence Tues- a following a surgical operation. The deceased was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Rivers of Lawrence, Mass., formerly of Danleison, and was 38 vears of age. Mrs, Buchanan has been living in Providence, where her husband s employed in the cable de- partment by a telephone company. Mrs. Buchanan was twice married, her first husband being William A, Hoyle, of Danlelson now of New london. Mrs. Buchanan leaves her husband, her father and mother, two children by her first marriage, Bessie and George, and the following brothers and sisters: Eugene, Taftville: Joseph, Centerville; R. I; Chester and Mrs. Gertrude Riley both of Providence, Willlam, Law rence, Mass, and Mrs. Alexina Jae- ger, wife of John Jaeger, Danieison. Weasels Prey on Game Birds. The practice of feeding game birds that has been in force for more than two weeks has ceased, as the clear- ing away of the snow from the woods and fields has made it unnecessary for Game Warden Arthur Day and his deputies in the county to longer carry on the work. Warden Day said Wed- nesday that he found only two dead quail during his travels through the woods during the time that the snow was on the ground, so there is good basis for believing that the feeding | was effective and saved many birds from starvation. This will be good news for the hunters, as it means more fine shooting next fall. Warden Day finds, however, that the game | birds have in the weasel a rapidly in- creasing variety of enemy in this sec- tion at present and there seems to be no real effective way of stopping the depredations of the little animals among the statute protected birds.

Many signatures were obtained on ‘Wednesday to the many petitions that are out asking that the federal govern- ment abandon its purpose of erecting a postoffice building on the site it has acquired at the corner of South Main and Grove streets. Some of those who signed and who believe that the post- office in its present location is more convenient than one at the proposed site could be state that it is their opin- ion that the petitions have been start- ed 0o late to be effective, but this, of course, remains to be seen. WHIRLED ABOUT SHAFTING. Clothing of Roderick Miller Caught at Dean Factory. Roderick Miller, emploved at the Dean Pin fadtory, was badly injured Wednesday afternoon, when his cloth- ing became entangled in some shaft- ing near which he was working. He was alone when the accident occurred, and before assistance came in answer to his cries for help he was whiried around the shafting time and again. He was removed to the Day Kimball hos- pital for treatment, the ambulance making a fast trip to the factory in the north end of the city, and from there to the hospital. Miller has a compound_ fracture of the left ankle, and is badly shaken up and bruised as the result of the accident., PHYSICIAN AUTHORIZED. Common Council Instructs Police De- partment to Secure Medical Aid for Prisoners. The common council has authorized the police department to employ a physician whenever necessary to prop- erly protect the health of prisoners who become ill while at poiice head- quarters here, or who are found to be sick when arrested. This action was taken following a receipt of a com- munication by the common council from Captain John Murray. The com- munication was referred to the police committee, and that body recommend- ed that the police be given the au- thority sought, the fees to be allowed a physician to Le not less than $3 nor more than There have been times when a physician has been needed for a prisoner and occasions when it was difficult to get one because no pro- vision for paying for such professional services had been made. Talk of Horse-Drawn Street Sweeper. Putnam may have a horse-drawn street sweeper during the coming sea- son. The matter of purchasing one has been referred to the highway com- mittee of the common council for in- vestigation. The sweeper is needed, it is thought by many, for use in clean- ing the new pavements that were put | in Elm, Main, Bridge and Front streets last fall. The smooth surface of this pavement requires considerable atten- tion to keep it in proper condition and a great deal sweep by hand. A horse-drawn sweeper would do the work far mor uickly ard at much less expense, i believed, than it can be done by and. No Objection to Layout. Tt is believed now that there will be no objection by property o rs along Woodstock avenue 1o the lavout has been made for the improvement o that thoro hfare. Such protests as have been received by members of the common council have been withdrawr nd the work of improving will be accomplished during the com- ing season. The state is to assist in | meeting the cost o the improvement, | which will put in first-class shape one of the most important of the highways leading from nearby towns into Put- nam.

The decoration and renovation of the ‘Bradley theater has been practically completed under the direction of Man- ager George M. Fine, and he now has one of the prettiest playhouses in Connecticut. The expense has been heavy, but the results achieved have made this worth while. The interior of the house is now superior to what it has been at any time in appearance since it was first opened. Resigns from Health Board. Dr. Omer Larue, democratic member of the common council, has tendered to that body his resignation as a mem- ber of the city’s board of health. James C. Loomis of Waterbury was a visitor with friends in Putnam Wed- nesday. Crowd at Fire Sale. A fire sale in one of the stores in the Bradley building on Front street ‘Wednesday afternoon brought out such & number of women that there was a perfect crush in the store and at times the doors had to be closed until those inside could be served and allowed to pass out.

JEWETT CITY Aspinook Bleachery Able to Start Up —Some Work to Replace Big Belts— Stranger Gives Checker Experts a Jolt—State Officers Visit Rebekah Lodge. The Aspinook bleachery started Wednesday morning after being still two days on account of high water. The big belts were put on Tuesday afternocon. These belts are in them- selves an extremely potent part of the working mechanism of a big plant like the Aspinook. One of the belts in the plant is 48 inches wide, over one hun- dred feet long, and three ply The cost of such a belt is eight hundred dollars. The leather in one such belt requires the selected parts of the hide from twenty-five to thirty steers. All the many laps are cemenied and when a big belt must be removed on ac- count of high back water in the wheel Pit, one of the laps is prled apart. ‘When they are replaced, as was the case Tuesday, heavy tackles are used to pull the ends together, Disabled, but Can Play Checkers. There has been about town for a week an unfortunate man asking al from door to door. Both legs have been amputated below the knee, and he walks on his knees. The reason | for the amputation is that his feet | were frozen in a Maine logging camp. | One evening he drifted into the hose house, where daily congregate some | of the most expert checker and i- | nochle players in this part of the state Several of the star checker men were present and a game between two of the best was in progress.
