 Frederick Squires of Mill Plain had a close call for his life Saturday and the fact that he is alive to-day Is an- other proof of how much man can en- dure and yet not die. The boys were sinking we'll and had 1t down about twenty feet when a bucket of stones which were being hodsted to the sur face tipped over and fell to the bot tom, striking Mir squires on the head and shoulders and almost knocking him senseless. The men on the top thought he was killed, but after they got down to him they saw that he was only stunned and after, getting him out Dr Ballard was called and rendered such assistance as was ne- cessary. He received few cuts and several bruises, none of them danger ous but all painful. and it will be some time before he feels like himself again. That favorite of Waterbury theater- goers, Daniel Sully, and a first-class supporting company, furnished pleas ure and enjoyment to hundreds of peo- pie. at Polls theater yesterday after noon and evening. '"The Old Mill Stream" the vehicle in which the we'll known actor is riding this year, Is strong of frame and body, though sim ply constructed. It is not a play in which the spectator is required to use mental powers to perceive the plot The plot is not intricate. It Is sim pie story, simply told; but in the tell ing of 1t there is plenty of merriment and pleasure. The spectators are now seized with raptures of laughter, now their eyes are dim with tears as their feelings are affected by the pathos. There Is strange mixture of merri- ment and sentiment. The play is a good one and should insure success for MT Sully for at least one season. Dan was at his best yesterday and local theater goers know what that means. He was finely supported by the other members of the company. Packed houses at both performances showed their appreciation of the play by con- tinuous outbursts of applause.
