William X. Thayer, 40, received inju
ries at the Thayer farm in Greenfield
meadows Monday, which will probably re-
suit fatally. He was alone and it is not
known how the accident happened. His
skull was badly fractured, several pieces of
bone being driven into the brain. He was
taken to DR.. Pierce hospital, where an
operation was performed. 1t is not thought
that he can recover. He was conscious
long enough to say that he was not kicked
by horse, but could not tell how he re-
ceived the injury. Mr.. Thsyer was born
in Hawley. He is son of the late w.
A. Thayer, is married and has been a re-
spected citizen.

THE NEWS IN BRIEF.
Our Troops Marching in Havana.

The 202d New York regiment landed at
Havana Monday and a column about 1000
strong marched from the San Jose wharf
to the Christina railroad station, the
regimental band playing simple marching
airs. The color sergea1ts bore the stars and
stripes and the blue and gold banner of
the state of New York The route, which
was mile and half long, was the most
direct course from the landing place to the
railroad station, and did not pass through
the principal streets. There were only the
ordinary numbers of people int he streets,
and it was only occasionally that cries of
"Viva Espana," "Viven LIS Ameri-
canos," or "Vivi Cuba Libre" were heard.
The onlookers were mostly silent, and
were merely curious to see the Amer-
can soldiers.
The LIST North Carolina regiments, dis
embarked Monday and marched through
Havana with the band and colors to the
camp at Mariana. BY the time the regi-
ment had reached the suberb of Zorro
many hundreds of men, women and child
rem were following, all showing deep
emotion, the men embracing one another,
the women weeping from excessive pleas
ure and the children shouting endearing
names as the North Carolinians marched
along The troops were amazed at the in
tensity of feeling displayed. Several hun
dred Cubans followed the regiment all the
way to Mariana, a distance of seven
miles. The troops, in heavy marching
order, made fine appearance.
