A brand new touring car owned by Bllery Thornton of Goodyear had the Torward. door on the right side smash- ed in, Monday afternoon, when a big motor truck of the B. P. Winward & Sons trucking company of all River backed into it, near the railroad sta- tion. The truck, bound for Norwich With a load of bales for' ths U. S.

The truck, -incidental- ly, was not equipped with headlights and the driver was shy his regisira- tion card, when the police asked to see it Jacob Pidge, one of Killingly’s old- est inhabitants, will reach his 88th birthday December 30. He was for a great many years a resident of South Killingly and is perhaps the last living man of all the famous whips who drove siage coaches over the route that ran from Providence through Danielson to Hartford 75 years ago, and his stories of those old days now seem like romantic tales of the dim and distant past, though they all have occurred within the span of a single lifetime. Mr, Pidge, who is staying with Mr. and Mrs, Oliver Bassett at ths town farm, near Dayviile, retains his fae- ulties in a remarkable degree.

The sport isn’t a common one jin this inty or elsewhere, but a ] game was recently staged .at Beach pond by two parties of Jocal men and {an accomodating deer who happened along while the men wers -busy wait- ing, for the fish to' bite. It was patent that the deer had not figured on the .adventure, no more had the men, but wken he cameé down the highway that cuts across lower end of Beach pond and was headed off by one of the party Wwho rushed off the pond and up into: the road ahead of the deer - there was nothing left for him to do, but make a .| sharp right angle turn, leap into the air and, with a graceful bound, clear the fence and brush that border the road and land, with his four feet brought together to strike within a icircle as big as a dinner plate on the I frozen surface of the pond. That must have been one of the most interesting 'leaps that deer ever made, for his feet had no sooner touched the ice than they slid out from under him—and the deer, sitting up like a dog, took a slide of 20 or 30 feet before he could scramble up again. In the meantime more than a dozen men had been aroused from a state of inaetive surprisa and most of them seemed to conceive the idea that it would be a good plan to catch the deer—just why no ofie seemed to The deer was having & dizey time of know a few minutes aftérwards. it. . Finding a patch. of snow-covered ice that afforded good footing he would get away at bullet-like speed only to tumble in a heap upon reach- ing another stretch of glarc ice. This occurred repeatedly. He was bound- |ing around among the tilts like an tanimated rubber ball, up some of the | time and down at other periods, | while everybody yelled and got into ithe game. A flying tackle of the ! @eer by one man -seemed Iimminent, | when the glare ice intervened to {form a startling climax, for as the | man’s flying feet slid out from under | bim to let him fall on his back with a crash the same tjing happened to {the deer, who was the quicker of the two and was the first up and away—quickly gaining the longed for shore and running at top speed up over the hills through the brush.
