LEONARD RAY SMITH.


 Leonard Ray Smith, who was fire- man on the New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad, met with a sudden death, last Saturday afternoon, near Royaton on the main line. Mir Smith was leaning out of the cab watching the engine scoup up water while in motion and must have had his head out farther from the cab than he realized for his head hit the stone abutment to a bridge knocking him back into the cab and killing him almost instantly. The train stopped at Darien where they left the body and as soon as his friends here heard of it had it brought back to Bridgeport. The body was brought to Long Hill where on Tues day afternoon the funeral took place from his mothers home, Mrs Ella B. Smiths, at 2 o'clock, Rev L. R. Sheffield officiating. The burial was in the Long Hill cemetery. The bear CTS were Arthur Jobes, George French, Will Robb and Edward Downs. There was number of handsome floral tributes. His age was IS years and 4 months.' He is survived by his mother, Mrs Ella B. Smith, and one brother, Frank Smith, both of this place. Mrs Smith has the deepest sympathy of all her many friends in her sad loss.

II shall vote for him because
he more nearly represents my
ideals of government, OF social
order and economic policy than
any living Democrat, or any man
before the people to-day, save
alone Theodore Roosevelt, who
is the only Republican President
Ihave ever voted for. Mr.. Taft

And runs them his own way.
RefOrmers try to bump the boss
And leave his throne upset.
