Tingineer Cook of the forward loco- motive on the double-header freight is said to have ‘been found with ‘one 1eg pinned under thé wreckage. Coals from ‘the overturned locomoti ha g6t the wreckage afire dnd the blaze had approached so ciose to the pins ioneg engineer that the legs -of his overalls wero beginning to biaze wheh sgsistance reached him. So -precarious was his position tifat some- consideration was given to cut: ting off his leg, in order to save him from bufning to death, when it was found that he could be released and the task was acconiplished so rapidly that he was gotten out with no more serious $hurt than a strained leg. Met Horrible Death, The bodies of Flagman O'Flaherty, who recently transferred from the passenger service, ‘and Brakeman Johnson were the first recovered. The bodies were removed to amgundertak- eP’s in Putnam. O'Flalierty’s head was terribly crushed, -exposing the brains. There were indications that Johngon d for a brief period after heowas Cuct.

Charred Head Found. r after hour passed as the wrecking crews labored about the two wrecked locomotives and searched in the wreckage and ashes beneath them, and without result, for the bodles of Rockwood and Sauve. The head of one of these men, which one could not be determined, so horribly mutilated and burned was it, was picked out from under the firebox end of the for- ward locomotive, which was lifted off its side by one of the wrecking cranes und raised sufficiently to al- low the wréckers to dig in the ruins. The charred head whs found deep down in a mass- of ashes and grain from cars that haq been in one of the frelghts, but close search of the im- mediate’ vicinity did not revea] the location of the remainder of this body. Three Wrecking Crews at Work. . The wreck blocked both the east- bound and west-hound tracks of the road. Wrecking crews were stum- moned from Fast Hartford and Readeyille ‘(Mass.) and these worked at each end of the wreck, the East Hartforq crew clearing awhay. . the smashed cars at the lower end of the double-header freight, the Readeville crew working at the overturned loco- motives . and other wreckage near them. Some of the cars-that were near the smashed locomotives were completely consumed in the fire that broke out. In the afterncon .a third wrecking outfit and erew arrived from Midway. and aided materially in speed- ing up the work of clearing the wreck. A Trying Task. A ‘howling gale, mixeq with hall and rain, swept through the deep cut in which the wreck occurred, chilling the ‘workers to the bone and making more difficult ‘the work they had in hand. Scores of automobiles brought sight- seers to the point of the wreck from alk of the surrounding towns and these viewed the operations from the preeipitious banks that flank each side of the cut in which the wreck was "’i"" General Superintendent C, N. Woodward of the New Haven sys- tem arrived at the wreck during the forenoon and watched with interest the work of clearing it away. Freight Piled in Heaps. All along the long length of the double-header freight tons of coat and a general assortment of merchandise that had made up-the contents of the carg were piled in heaps. The work of salvaging as much of .the freight as was possible went on’ as the crews lapored to clear.up.the wreckage in sufficient degree to: open the lines: Telephone and’ Telegraph Communi- cation, Communication by wire was. estab- lished from the location of the wreck by both telephone and telegraph. Southern New. England linemen of the Putnam division ran a pair of wires from lines in a highway several hun-| dred yards distant to a pole opposite to where the locomotives lay and this afforded the raiiroad officials their first service in keeping in touch with their headquarters. Shortly after- wards the Western Union .Telegraph company linemen had cut in on thefr wires and established a temporary telegraph station on thel-opposite side of the tracks. Strange Effects of Crash, The usua] strange freaks of force as applied in raiiroad accidents, were manifest in this wreck. The forward locomotive on the double-header freight turnéd almost around and headed nearly in the direction from Which it was coming when it went in- 10 the crash. The locomotive that was attached just behind it, and from which the power probably was not shut off instahtly the crash came, plowed right along, severing the ten- Ger of fhe first locomotivg from its connection therewith anq tossing it outside ;the track lines, to the right. The tender of the second locomotive wedged itself in between the boilers of the two locomotives, one of which, the forward one, rolled over on its side. This locomotive,” which was Burrounded by fire as the” wreckage burned, looks like old-metal’ that has' been ! through a fire, Caboose Demolished. . The caboose of the train that was hit was obliterated.

No explanation of how the wreck occurred, other than that the second train overtook the first, which could not take much speed up the grade, was available. The train pulled by *he pair of. locomotives was a regular train, bound for Boston, and, of course, was capable of making better work of negotiating the grade than was the first train, with its single lo- cometive. This second train was an extra, and was due to, leave the main -|line at Putnam and proceed to Wor- cester, No traffic was moved over the line until night, Wednesday. The trains that usually run ever. the division were diverted at Putnam and Willi- mantic and sent via Danielson and Plainfield. The .wreck was easily the worst that has occurred in this part of Con- necticut for many vears, and was su Nassed in the extent of disaster on by the wreck many yvears age at Fast Thompson, and in ‘that wreck o senger trains fizured, as well freights.

Sullivan When Steel Coal Car Drops. as James J. Sullivan of Midway, mem- ber of one of the wrecking crews clearing the wreck at Pomfret, instantly killed early Wednesday eve- hing when a big steel coal car which had been ralsed to allow putting blocks underneath, was dropped down upon him. His head.was caught be- tween the car and a big stone and ctushed to a pulp. He was the fifth victim of the wreck. The body was rémoved to an undertaking room. in ‘this city, Sauve’s Body Found. Late in the dfternoon the body of Fireman Sauve which had_been in the wreckage since before 4 o'clock in the their trucks were scattered in all di- ‘morning, was discovered buried in tha ground under the tender of his over- turned Jocomotive. A big crane raised one end of the tender while members of the wrecking erew crawled under it and got the body out. Only the head of Conductor Rockwood's body has been found up to late Wednesday night and it is believed that it was completely consumed in the fire of box cars. that raged about where ' the head was found. LIBERTY LOAN DRIVE WAS VIGOROUS WEDNESDAY Putnam Out to Win, in Effort to Bet- ter $123,000 Allotment, The drive for subscriptions to the Liberty loan continued here Wednek- day with unabated vigor. The re- sponse from the ecitizens of Putnam was such as to give encouragement to the men who are directing the drive that Putnam, by constant active work will be able to secure the $193,000, which it has been avportioned ~ to raise. The banks are recéiving many of the subscriptions, a considerable number of which came in from Thomfison, Woodstock and Pomfret, parts of the Futnam district. z The largest individual subscription reported here are one for $10,000 and one for $20,000, The women are do- ing good work in the campaign and are being highly ‘commended for their activities. At the Israel Putna mschool Wed- nesday, a Special drive was being made to get the children into a lihe as buyers of war savings stamps. The desire is to have at least 90 per cent, of the pupils registered in this school recorded as buyers of the savings stamps. Shocked by Wednesday’s Tragedy. The grim risks that railroad men face was brought hote to the people of this city, a railroad center, Wed- nesday, when the two freight trajins were piled up in a rear end collision at Pomiret. The bodies of the recov ered killed were brought to_this city and the injured taken to the Day Kim- ball. hospital. Many were the expressions of sym- pathy - by -persons who ‘knew of ~the fact that the bodies of two of those Wwho had been killed could not be reached threughout the day and of the fact that tha charred head of éme of these had been found and brought to a local morgue. where the bodies of two other victoms lay. The' wreck tled up main lines traffic out of this city, requiring the re-rout- ing of trains via Danielson and Pldin- field. Scores of travelers were delay- ed, but there was . very little com- plaint from anyone, Application For Motor Licenses. There was a large number of appli- cants on' Wednesday for. drivers' li- censes from those who would qualify to pilot automobiles during the 1918 season. The majority of" those who applied qualified, but there were some who did not meet the inspector’s re- quirements and were turned down. FARMERS' INSTITUTE. 8 — Held at Grange Hald South Killingly— Live Topics Discussed. At an interesting and instructive Farmers! Institdte held at Grange hall, South Killingly, B. G. Southwick of the Connecticut Agricultural col- lege spoke on More Crops for 1915, and emphasized- the necessity of turning over our fields more often and getting more humus in the soil. K. B. Musser, extension dairyman of the Agricultural college, pointed out the importance of the dairy cow as a food producer, and - emphasized the feeding of more hay as a means of reducing the grain biil, . He stated that a pound of clover ‘hay; or 1 1-2 pounds of mixed hay, had the same value as one pound of bran In produc- Ing milk. Mr. Musser called special at- tention to the fact that a feeding of hay. after supper*was very abp to be the money-maker in connection with dairying. Fiftoen farmers attended the meet- ing, and took part in an ifstructive discussion. Killingly Grange Served lunch. In the afternoon, Miss Embleton gave a demonstration and talk on the Use of Wheat Substitutes, also telling something of food condition’. through- out the world at the present time. To Supply Farm Help. Help for the c@ming season is an important question with farmers just now, and the Farm Bureau will do all it can in trying to locate labor for farmers. = State Labor Exchanges are putting the Farm Bureaus in touch With sources of labor, and if they ean know the individual needs of farmers they will endeavor to locate men at once. The bureau writes: If you - want farm help, write the Farmers' -asso- clation at Putnam, telling the kind of a man you want, whether married or single, and the price you will pay, and when you ‘want- him. . This will give something definite to work.on. Wheat Planting Practical. The Farm Bureau is ‘having many inquiries about spring wheat. Results followed up from last year's harvest show that it is well worth a trial. It should be planted on well ~drained land. Sow ’six to eight pecks per! acre. Fertilize with some manure, if possible suppimented with 400 to 600 pounds of a 2-10 fertilizer, or 400 pounds of acid phosphate. Yields of twelve to twenty bushels per acre may be expected. The Marquise: variety is recommended for this section _of Connecticut. Plant as soon as possi- ble. Liberty Loan Window Displays.

At Bugbee's flags and Liberty loan announcements make a back- ground for a form that - shows the toposraphy of what is represented .as a section of the fighting front in France. This shows the troubles and the minatures of men who man them and go out into No Man's Land to[* face the extreme dangers that await them on such perilous missions.
