MISS BEGNAL'S ACCIDENT.
Mother andeSister Visited Her in Tor.
rinStOn To-Day.

Miss Rosetta Begnal of South Leon
ard street. the well known trained
NURSE was shot through the calf of the
leg while driving from Litchfield to
Iorr1ngton yesterday noon at 1890
O'CLOCK. A second bullet missed hit
ing her in the head by about an inch.
Inc wound caused by the bullet is not
dangerous and no serious effects are
expected unless some unforeseen degel-
opment sets in.
Miss Begnal has been enjoying a
visit with Miss Herbert Of Litchfield
since last Saturday. Yesterday the two
young ladies decided to drive to Tor
r1ngton on pleasure trip. They had
driven about half the distance between
the two towns when a heavy storm
threatened and in order to avoid it
and to reach shelter they took a road
over which they very seldom drive. 1t
was while riding along thfs road that
Miss Begnal felt something pierce her
leg. It was bullet from a rifle, prob
ably Of some person who was hunting
In the woods bordering the road. The
next minute another bullet whizzed by
about an inch or two in front Of Miss
Begnal's face. The two young ladies
were very much frightened and drove
with an speed to Torrington and then
to a doctors office. The ball, which
had not struck any bones and had
lodged under the skin in the side of
the leg opposite to where 1T had en-
tered, was extracted by the doctor.
Miss Begnal was later removed to the
home of Mrs Conway in Torrington,
where she will remain for several days.
Then she expects 10 be able TO return
home.
Though an investigation is being
made In regard to the shooting, it is i'm
probable that the person who fired
the shots will be found. The hunter
whose shooting had such a serious re-
suit is probably unconscious of the
damage which the stray buAets had.
Mrs Catherine Begnal and Miss Kate
Begnal. mother and sister of the in
jured woman, went to Torrington to-
day to see Miss Begnal. She was IN
good spirits ana was able to be around.

Mr. GoSs wanted ITO know whose bus
mess it was to fix Cole street. He said
that the trolley company had changed
the grade AIT some points and instead
Of putting down cobbles in all places
where that kind of treatment was
called for crushed stone was used in
stead and as "a result teaming was
carried on there with great difficulty.
The commissioner claimed that if the
same conditions existed on Baldwin
street the whole stretch was In very
poor shape. Mayor Elton inquired of
the city engineer if the grade of the
street had been changed. Mr. Cairns
replied that he knew absolutely moth
ing about it, adding that they never
asked him anything about the grades.
1T was voted to instruct the superin-
tendent of streets to call the trolley
company's attention to the condition
of these two streets and see that they
are fixed up.

hem distant glimpse of even the
Mediterranean sea may be perceived
on a clear. bright day. The strange
beauty of the surroundings of Bethle-

young shepherd King David some Of
those inspiring psalms which have
been the comfort of the afflicted
throughout all ages.
In a beautiful valley near Bethle-

Of sacred memory. These fields are
still used as pasture lands, and many
