Tetlow Dies From Injuries—Teach- ers Appointed — Wheat Sown at Pomfret—Wage Advance at Putnam Woolen Mill and Waterman Worsted Plant. Two attempts to steal automobiles during the preceding night were made to the police Tuesday morning. In cach instance the reports Wwere that the cars were run out of the garages where they were kept, but in both cases the auto thleves fafled to make a clean getaway with the cars. The first attempt to get a ear was made at Tatreault’s garage, in _the rear of his piace of business on Eim street. The car taken was that of Frank Provost. The machine, a light touring car, was run out of the g age by man-power and s0 out into May street and down into Elm street. Here an attempt to start the engine failed, evidently, for the machine was left astride the trolley tracks and the crew of the last southbound car had to push it out of the ‘way. At about 1.30 Tuesday morning an attempt, very probably made by the men who tried to get away with the Provost car, went to_the sarage of George A. Rawley, Pleasant _street, forced_an entrance and ran his car out. Members of the Rawley house- hold were awakened by the nolse made by the intruders and there was a shout of inquiry as to what they were trving to do with the car. Not deterred by this the men start- ed the motor, jumped into the car and drove it down into Chapman street. Ir trying to get out of this street they probably lost their bearings, as to the lecation of South Main street, and cut across the lawn at Herbert Johnson' home. In getting back into the street they ditched the car and wrecked it, then jumped out and made good their escape. Some people who were awakened by the commotion say that there were at least two men engaged in the at- tempt to steal the Rawley car, whil others claim they saw as many a three. There were no special developments relative to the matter during the day, but one of the theories relative to the whole affair is that the men who tried to steal the cars were drunk. INJURIES PROVE FATAL John E. Tetlow, Fireman, Who Fell From Locomotive, Dies at Hospital John Bdwin Tetlow, 28, railroad fire. man, died Tuesday at the Day-Kim- ball hospital. Tetlow’s death was due to injuries recelved when he fell from the Jlocomotive of the ‘moo: t freight during the early hours of Mon- day morning while it was running through the north end of the Danlel- son yards, en route to Putnam. Tetlow never recovered sufficiently from the effects of the injuries he re- ceived to be able to tell what caused him to fall, but one theory is that he stood between the cab and the ten- der and went to look out just as the locomotive was rolling past Youns Brothers siding, where he may have heen struck on the head by one of a string of cars that had been %et out there for unloading and one of which, the northernmost, was not distant from the main line tracks. Another theory is that he may have lost his balance in an unguarded moment and was pitched out. Tetlow’s injuries were chiefly to his head and he is believed to have a fractured skull. The body was re- moved to a local undertaker’s and ar- rangements were being made Tuesday afternoon to forward it for burial. Tetlow’s home was in Midway. He was a native of England, but had been long in this country. He leaves his wife and also his parents, who wers said here Tuesday to be resident in Westerly.
