Many towns were represented by those who came to East Killingly to take part in the service. Holiday Motor Traffic. ‘What the maximum of motor vehicle traffic is going to be on pleasant Sun- days and holldays this summer, was indicated in a marked way on Memo- rial day, the first real good weather holiday of the year. So dense was the traffic, everything with a motor on it being on the road, that a good many drivers have decided that there is go- ing to be more worry and risk in week end, Sunday and holiday driving this season than there is of pleasure. Machines rolled by in swarms all day long and he was indeed a' nerveless driver who finished the day without feeling a quivver now and then. Patriotic Exercises Monday. Memorial day was impressively ob- served by the patriotic societies of Danielson, the program being carried out as arranged, At 1 o'clock the members of the G. A, R., Sons of Vet- erans, Spanish War Veterans, escorted by the Thirteenth company, C. A. C., formed a procession at G. A.

The graves of soldiers buried in Westfield and St. James' were then visited and decorated with flowers. WILLIAM STAKONAS KILLED. Pushed Out of the Way of Racing Mo- torcycle, Falls and Is Fatally In- Jjured, One fatal accldent, another of seri- ousness and several of minor import- ance, motorcycles or automobiles fig- uring in all, marked the passing of Memorial day in Danielson. ‘Willlam Stakonas, 4, son of Mr., and Mrs, Theodore Stakonas, West Side, lost his life, and Ray W. Pellett suf- fered a broken left shoulder and bare- ly escaped a fatality, in two separate accidents that occurred in running off motorcycle races between Danielson and Brooklyn, the shock of the affairs resulting in the abrupt calling off of the program before all the scheduled events were completed, Another accident, happening within the hour of the other two, had a more fortunate outcome. Arthur Boucher, son of Peter Boucher, aged about 12 and helper on a milk wagon, backed down out of the vehicle and directly in front of a touring car being driven along very slowly by Treasurer Clar- ence A. Potter of the.Brooklyn Sav- ings bank. Both vehicles were trav- eling south on Main street, just east of the railroed crossing. The boy was knocked down and the whole length of the car passed over him, but he escaped with no more than a cut in the head, which was closed with two stitches at the office of Dr. F. P. Todd. The accident was one in which the boy was entirely to blame and had not Mr. Potter been driving very, very slowly, after sounding a signal to the people on the milk wagon, the boy surely would have been killed, How the Accident Happened. The accident in which the Stakonas boy was so badly injured that he died within two hours was not regarded as of great seriousness at first. He a‘tempted to cross South Main street t & point near the Chartier residence . J. Kenahan, who is.employed with W, N. Burnett of Dayville at a shop at 82 West Friendship street, Providence, came tearing along on a racing motorcycle in one of the speed events being run off, and watched by a large crowd. Kenehan heroically offered himself as a sacrifice to save the little boy, swerving his machine sharply and reaching out to push the boy out of harm’s _way. In a measure he was successful. The machine did not strike the boy, who fell heavily to the ground as Kanahan pushed him, it was after- wards related to an official. Kenahan in turn took a spill and tore a pedal off his machine. He escaped without serious hurts, The injured boy was picked up and carried into the Chartier home. A first examination showed a broken right thigh bone and injuries about the head. At that time the injuries were not considered as of a fatal nature, but it was afterwards determined that a hemorrhage of the brain occurred and the boy died in a couple of hours. In the meantime Kenahan not real- izing how seriously the little fellow had been hurt, departed for his home in Providence. The body was viewed by Dr. George M. Burroughs, medical examiner. The parents of the boy live in what was once the Quinebaug boarding house, not far from the site of the accident. Ray W, Pellett Injured. Ray W.

La Tena's circus showed here Mon- day, getting a liberal patronage from the holiday crowds. Phe show, which is & small one and of the old-fashion- ed variety in many of its features, pleased the many who attended. The show left the state from this city Monday night after about ten days in ing in what was termed a seven-mile race trom Danielson to Brooklyn and return. According to other riders and persons who were at the scene, Pel- lett was riding at a cyclone pake, prob- ably at least 60 miles an hour, as he approached a curve in the state high- way known as the brick yard curve. Henry Burnett, another race rider who had safely negotiated the curve just ahead of Pellett, says he looked back over his shoulder, fearing that Pellett would not be able to make the curve at the speed he was traveling and saw Pellett's machine leave the nighway and dash through the rock- clustered side pace. The machine, aft- smashing its way along for a Iew feet, struck a big rock, leaped high in the air, throwing its rider still further up- ward and a distance of many feet, He came down with a crash, and those who rushed to his aid expected to find that he had been Kkilled. He was found conscious, however, and was at once rushed to, the office of Dr. G, M. Burroughs, who found a bone in Pel- lett's left shoulder broken. Pellett gradually came to himself while in the physician’s office and w: le to walk out. Several weeks will be reuired for him to recover from the injuries he received, AThe race was won by W. N. Burnett, with Louis Knight of Providence sec- ond. The seven miles were run off in Jjust over 6 minutes. The potato race was eastern Connecticut and Massachu- setts border towns.

Watson's restaurant, 4 1-2 Central street, where they were discovered by Patrolman Patrick Donnelly and Hon- ore St. Martin, Jr., attempting to par- take of some beer from a half barrel. Disappointment reigned in the gang, when they attempted to draw some of the beer, only to discover that they were not equipped with a syphon, and were at a loss to extract some of it. Some one in the party secured a rubber pipe, one end of which was dropped into the half-barrel, while the thirsty ones sucked the fluid through the other end, taking turns. About was a Sunday visitor with friends in Danielson. two gallons was sucked out of the alf-barrel in that way before the po- lice broke up the party.

Woonsocket Putnam got away strong with the gameagainst the Woonsocket Nationals on the Morse grounds Saturday after- noon, winning by a 5 to 1 score in a game that should have been a shut-out. Sillery of Waterbury was booked to pitch for Hammond-Knowlton, the team that represents the city this year, but his automobile broke down at Willimantic and after waiting until four o'clock Manager Devine started the game with Dubois, a local young- ster, on the firing line. He had all kinds of speed and curves and kept the four hits well scattered. Had his sup- port not failed him at ecritical times he would have made an even better record. He was working so good that when Sillery finally arrived Manager Devine kept the local boy at work. Sillery went in in the final inning when Putnam had the game on ice and just to let the fans get a little line on what to expect from him. The game dragged out to nearly two hours and the players will need to put in a little more tobasco to bring the time down to normal and cut out the wait between innings. Wset got the feature play of the afternoon when he saved Landry an error by going in- to the air and pulling down his wild throw. Fallon showed up well and got three safeties in four times up.
