FIRED AT MoToRisT.
Unknown Man Puts Bullet Into Auto
 Driven by s. C. Hutchins.

If you were a careful, conscientious automobile driver, how would you like having someone shoot bullet into the back of your car. without any provocatfon on your part, without any reason in the world, as far as you were able to judge? Such an incident occurred over in the town of, Brooklyn on. a recent evening, and just little better marksmanship would have meant the recording of far more se- rious happening than is to be written here
 s. Cady Hutchins of Danielson, who frequently drives hIs car between Hartford and this place. reports that en route to Den1elson, his car was fired upon by one of a party of three men whom he passed in the road. It was at night between and 10 o'clock and he was driving with care and had no conversation with any of the men. He suspected nothing, until a sound like a bursting tire caused him to slow down. and did not realize that the sound was the crash of a bullet against the back of the tonneau until he started to investigate and found where the piece Of lead had put a deep dent in the metal. The bullet struck against that part of the car shielding Mrs. Hutchfns' back, and she distinct " felt the shock of the impact. MT. Hutchins has no knowledge as to who should subject him to suca a dastard- Iy attack Not all drivers are as care full of the rights of others on the road as is MT. Hutchins, and this fact makes the incident all the more de- spicable.

BEAsTLY FATHER
Profits by Dishonor of 15 Year Old Daushter-Depravity of Harrison Younu.

Revolting details, unfit to print are in the possession of the officers of the city court of Putnam relative to the sacrifice of his daughter, Rosabelle' s honor by Harrison Young of this city, now a. fugitive from justice The story in all its debasing complications is hardly believable as chargeable against any father with a spark of humanity in fim.but evidence of trust worthy witnesses given under oath before Judge l.. H. Fuller in the city court leaves no room for doubt as to the justice of the action Of the officials in bringing the girl forward, charged with being in danger of falling into vice.
 Rosabelie Is pretty girl. almost handsome. in fact. and is 15 years of ttfied to by Captain John Murray and Sergeant Patrick Hayes at the pri- vate hearing. she has been her father s companion. out late at night and in frequent perilous positions.
 Stories of a supremely scandalous nature relative to the manner in which the little girls very honor was being bartered by degenerate father time, and as a result of these reports the taking into custody of Rosabelle followed It was such case as could not be tolerated in this city or any from a fate less desirable than death was the object of presenting her be- fore the court.
 It was proved by the testimony Of reliable witnesses. that Young, who is a hanger on around saloons here, had bargained with different men for the use Of his daughter; that she has been allowed to take Intoxicating drinks until there are indications that she has acquired the habit for them, and that her associations have been of an extremely dangerous character.
 One witness testified to overhearing an agreement made on a trolley car last summer between Young and an Italian lajborer. whereby for the sum of s5 Rosabelfe was to go with the man and that the girl and the Italian later left the car near West Thomp son.
 Others overheard conversations of a similar nature was testified to by oth- CT witnesses, in each case the girl be- ing the medium of sacrifice by which this devilish father sought to acquire money. All of these things came out fin court, but Rosabelle does not impli- cate her father
 Attorney Eric H. Johnson has been appointed special guardian of the girl during the time that must elapse be- fore Thursday night. to which time the case has been continued.
 The court officials are shocked by the depravity exhibited in the treat

$50 ONCE, 11-2 CENTS NOW.
Sad Slump in Rating of Stock of In- dustriaI and Manufacturing Com pany.

Footed two years ago as desirable investment paying per cent, sold to numerous investors at $50 a share and looked upon as a permanent payer of profit. sixty shares of the preferred stock of the Industrial and Manufac- value of SS.0o0, were sold at public auction from the steps of the Town hall building Tuesday morning for 90 cents. At that price even. the most ardent opponents to the company that issued the stock were willing to admit squeezed out, and that the price. 1-2 cents a share, was about tlfe limit. George s. Brown bought the stock, but not as an investment He sold it a few minutes later for an even dollar, however, and got profit
 The stock was offered for sale as one of a collection of investments held by the estate of the late Almira E. Westcott. These stocks, of which there were several thousand shares, included mining. milling, oil. electric power, smelling and industrial hold value The majority of them had a par value of S1 a share. Frank T. Preston as executor of the estate, ar- ranged the sale, and Edward s. Car penter was auctioneer.
 The Industrial and Manufacturing company will be remem bered as the concern that built factories at New Britain, Gardner, Mass, Danielson and Mystic Danielson, was probably the most fruitful field in which they op- erated. Lots and stocks sold well here and a goodly number of the towns people invested generous sums to help make their vissionary scheme suc- cess.
