Buckland, 51, of South Windsor, this state. Mr. Buckland is to appear in the po- lice court Rere this (Monday) morning to answef charges of reckless driving. According to some of the witnesses who were interviewed by the police after the accidént, the Buckland car was traveling at speed which was looked upon as un- safs in approaching the corner of an in- tersecting street and this charge was en- téred against Mr. Buckland by Captain D. J. Twomey after investigating the case. £ According to Mr. Buckland’s account of the accidént, he was driving his car towards Norwich and as he came mear the corner of Dunham street, saw a little girl standing on the sidewalk to his right. She siuddehly jumped off the curb into thé strest, he said, and started to run across the stréet {n the path of his ma- chine. He swung his car sharply to the left to dvdid her but sha front part of the machine hit and knocked her down and the whésl crushed her head. Hé broughts his car to a stop within 20 or 25 feet, he thought, and when he g0t pit Saw the body of the child. It lay at right angles to the track, the feet projectihg over the east rail and the head in the middle of the roadbed be- tween the rails. Mr. Buckland and Carl W. Bickland, of Perry, N. Y. who was one of the party in the South Windsor car, rushed 10 a nearby house from which they tele- phoned for a doctor. The police also were notified of the accideng and Cap- tain Twomey sent Officers D. J. O'Neil and Barney Keehan to the place as quickly as possible. Dr. J. W. Callahan and Medical Examiner C. C.

He was_coming south on the right hand side of West Thames street when Mr. Buckland made the sudden switch to the left to try to avoid hit- ting the child. This brought the Buek- land car almost dead ahead of the Oun- parik car, with no room to turn to the right, so that Mr. Ounparik “suddenly swung to his left and cireled around the Buckland car. The right forward mudguards of the t¥o cars just es- caped hooking into each other by a fraction of an inch. It was learned that the little girl and her mother had left their home with Mrs. Eline Toytonik; and Mrs. Anna Kenott, who éach had a child with her, and had come to the corner of Dunham street to wait for the car for Uncasvilla. The mother of the little girl was stand- ing at the Dunham street corner, across the street from where the little girl was when she started across to mo to her mother. ~ Mr. Bugzvcki, who keéps a store at 235 West Thames streét, had zone to Greeneville and heard of the fa- tal accident aféer reaching thers.

Clovér and alfal- fa seeds (this is almost equally true of a1l farm séeds) should be purchased only when their origin is known. One very practical solution to this problem is for groups of farmers to purchase from other farmers who produce the seed desired.

The state was not ready to go on with the cases Saturday morning, desir- ing more time to secure evidence and and make more arrests. There is said to be evidence enough to convict all of the above, but there are several persons who are being sought who are known to e in the ring that did the actual steal- ing, and until these persofis are arrest- cd, the state does not desire to take final action.

Roche of thé New Haven road police, who have been making investigation and/ arrests, are working on aw entirély new angle that promises ‘to maks a Sénsation if it dé- velops as it now points. It is believed that wholesale and retail merchants, not only in eastern Conmecticut, but in Mass- achusetts, Rhode Island, New York, Dhip, Pennsylvania and other states,! may be involved in one of the biggest theft cases ever handled by any county police officials.
