 FRANK BROWN INJURED.
 New Preston village and vicinity were we'll represented at the Conetia Park races, New Milford, on Decora- tion day. Our sincere sympathy is ex- tended to F. S. Brown for the unfor- tunate accident which happened to him before he reached the park. As we have been informed Mir Brown de- cided to leave his horse at. the livery stable in New Milford and ride over to the park in public conveyance. He chose wagon in which were several other of his acquaintances, who had all decned it would be funny thing to ride over to the park in the wagon without seats, and while all were stand ing up in the wagon just ready to start from New Milford depot, a train rolled in which slightly scared the horses and they lurched forward enough to almost take every man from his feet in the wagon. MT Brown was stand ing in the back or rear part of the wagon and in trying to save someone else, besides being jolted by someone in front of him, he thoroughly lost his balance and fell backwards to the ground, one or more others striking on him after he reached the ground. The result was a fracture of Mir Browns shin bone on his right leg, and the necessity of crutches for him to get about with for few weeks. He was able to come home on Saturday even- ing and is doing as well as possible un- der the unfortunate circumstances but will be crippled just at the season he strongly desires the full use of his limbs.
