INJURED IN 4 RUNA WAY.
An Aged NOrthford Citizen Badly Hurt
OH MfddIetOyyn Avenue,

Joseph Bigelow, seventy flve-year-
old resident of Northford, was seriously
injured in a runaway about o'clock
last evening on Middletown avenue,
about mile east Of the Camargo
bridge. Mr.. Bigelow is milkman and
delivers milk to milk dealers every af-
ternoon, driving into the city from his
darby in Northford. He finished de-
livering milk last evening and started
to drive back home. Just beyond the
bridge on Middletown avenue his team
started to run, and, breaking away from
the wagon, pulled him over the dash
board into the ditch beside the road.
The old man was rendered unconscious
and the team continued on a mad run
for home. Patrolman Healy was noti-
fled of the accident by person who
saw it, and went out to the scene of
the runaway to ascertain if Mr.. Bigelow
had been hurt The patrolman found
the old man lying unconscious in the
ditch beside the road and dragged him
out. He later regained consciousness
and was taken to his home in car
riage. He was badly bruised and shak-
en- up, and it is feared that on account
of his advanced age his injuries may
result seriously.

the Omaha Kid. and Martin Flaherty
of Lowell, Mass, fought '25-round
draw at the New Broadway Athletic
club Tonight in the presence Of a large
crowd. Gardiner outboxed his oppo-
nent at every stage of the game He
was handicapped, however, by an un-
healed cut over his left eye, and came
into the ring with a big band Sc around
his head. In action the bandage slip
ped down, and until he ripped 1t off he
was at times playing blindmans bluff.
Later in the contest the cutwas reopen
ed and bled so freely that his left eye
was at times blinded. He also seemed
to show the effect of too much fighting
of late. Flaherty had the advantage of
height weight and reach and made
the pace most of the rounds, but his
work was ineffective, lie constantly
overreached He dis Jlayed darg rous
left hand but lacked judgment of dist
ance to make 1t useful. When the men
entered the ring Gardiner locked poorly
while Flaherty seemed strong and in
good form. ,.lf

ADMIRAL DEWEY'S HEALTH.
In n Cnblegram He Says He is in Need of
Rest and Quiet.

Chicago, May 12.-Judging from the
wording of cablegram received from
Admiral Dewey by the Illinois Manu-
facturers' association, the health of the
admiral, despite medical assurance to
the contrary, is none of the best To
this fact is due his probable re-
turn by way of the Suez canal, instead
of the Pacific coast route. The mes
sage is as follows:
MANY thanks. Impossible to accept
invitation now. Condition of health ne
cessitates rest and quiet"
The cablegram was in reply to one
sent by the association, asking the ad"
miral to become its guest upon his re-
turn to this country and urging strongly
upon him the Instability of coming
by way of San francisco and across
the country.
