HARTFORD 8,
NEW BRITAIN 7

Hartford. Conn. New. 21.-In fierce
polo battle that would make a Spanish

Capt. Jeans team and the men put up a
heart-breakng struggle before succumb-
ing TO Capt Hart and his mates Both
teams hit UP terrific clip in the opening
period, throwing team work to the winds
and plugging necessarily for the cage.
Lincoln and Hart showed flights OF
pretty passing, and the last goal OF the
period, made by Lincoln on a pass from
Hart. was Gagged in flve seconds. Hart
also got one from the spot in three Sec
onds, but the ball rolled out. The period
ended to in favor OF Hartford, but the
visitors spurted I'm the second period and
closed It leading Hartford 10 8.
Hartford made three goals to New Brit
aims one In the final period, but both
clubs lost goal on fouls, Hartford being
penalized five times and the visitors three.
Hart was knocked out by a drive from
Wiley's stick, but resumed play. and Cog
geshall was cut on the head in n scrim-
mage with Schiller. When Hartford
clinched the game in the final period the
crowd went frantic with JOY. 1t was one
of the hottest polo games fought in
Hartford in many years. Score:

ROTARY sLAsHED HORSES
Travelling Engineer F. E. Owens Tells
Of Collision Near
Mapes.

Travelling Engineer F. E. Owens of
the Great Northern railway is just re-
covering from serious illness brought
on by severe exposure to the North
Dakota blasts. He spent an entire
night last week on rotary snow pillow
endeavoring to keep the roads clear
for traffic and has been threatened
with an attack Of congestion of the
brain ever since. He was able to be
out Of bed today and his friends hope
for a speedy recovery.
Mr. Owens is telling of one of the
experiences of the night on the snow
plow. At point near Mapes' the
pillow had collision with team of
horses driven by a farmer named Nc
Fadden and it, seems the horses got
the worst of the deal. The rotary
motion of the wheel in the pillow
clutched both horses nd drew them up
the spout slashing and tearing them
in frightful manner. One Of the
horses had to be shot. Railroaders
state that slashing up horses is COM
mon occurrence on the railroads dur
ing this kind of weather.

Another Strange Case.

A case similar to that of Wal.
ter Miller, the ID year old Cor
Wallis boy who experienced such
an extraordinary growth and who
died some time ago in Portland
after puzzling the medical fra
ternitv for over a year, is related
in Saturdays Ofegonian as fol-
lows.
Roy Fi6eid, S years old. and
one of the most remarkable hu-
man monstrosities on record. was
taken before the County Court,
Yesterday, and adjudged insane,
after a close medical examina-
tiou. To the layman the case is
infinitely pathetic and to the
medical man it is one of unusual
interest.
At the age when the normal
child is leaving short dresses Roy
has grown to the physical pro-
portions of a lad of IS, while his
mind has tailed utterly in its
growth. With a head that re-
quires a hat too large for the av-
erage man, the child has nothing
but confusion and idiocy in the
interior and is devoid of intelli-
geuce. Notwithstanding the ao-
sence of mentality be ha shown
a tendency tc forms of degenera-
cy. Dr.. Joseph, who conducted
the mental examination, pro-
nounced the case one of the most
remarkable that has ever been
brought to his attention. The
hapless freak was taken in custo-
dy by the authorities at the in
stance of his father. Following
the examination the boy was
sent to the State Insane Asylum. "

Mr. Caliahan'S Side of 1t.

In our last issue we published
what may be termed a sidewalk
episode under the caption, "Cal-
lahan's Sidewalk" " Mr.. Gala
han assures US that some of the
points of the article were incor-
rectly stated. In the first place.
on being stopped from putting
down board walk within the
limits of the "concrete walk or
dinance" he says he consulted
mem oers of the council aud saw
two of the three who compose
the street committee.
These gentlemen are said to
have given their consent tor him
to put in the new board sidewalk
temporarily, as the old board
walk was in a condition of di ap-
ida ion. That it was understood
that so soor as the weather set
tied sufficiently the walk recent
iv laid was to be swung around
along the west side OF his lots,
where at present there is no
walk, and be would then put in
a coacrete walk Oh the north
side.
Mr.. Callahan further states
that the board walk was laid be-
tween the hours of 7 and 8 o'clock
in the morning ahd that there
was nothing in the dark about
the process or progress of the
work. He says he has always
kept what property he has pos
sessed in good repair, which is
true, and has always endeavored
in the past to prove himself
law-respecting citizen-,lso true.
Having no desire to castany re-
Elections upon Mr.. Callahan, nor
to side with either party in the
controversy, the Gazette will
continue in the future as in the
past to publish what it considers
from an unprejudiced standpoint
to De legitimate news, and shall
endeavor to give its readers as
correct a version Of the n..tcome
of this matter as it is able to o.
tain.
