CAUGHT IN ELEVATOR.
w. L. William Was Injured, Perhaps Seriously, at Jordan Hardware Con- panyts Store.

W, r.. Williams of 66 Windham street |6as seriously injured Wednesday af- ternoon while operating an elevator in the store of the Jordan Hardware company. The elevator was heavily loaded with freight and was run mp to the top story of the building where MT. Williams was waiting to unload It. He took hold of the guide rope and ran the ear back a trif1e so as to be able to unload 1t better. Supposing the elevator had stopped. he leaned over the guard rail and before he could save himself his head was caught between the elevator top and the rail. Owing to the fact that the latter was a light piece of timber. the strain was too great and bending it permitted the elevator to slide along the back of his head, causing abrasions on the neck. He was taken to his home where he received medical attendance. MT. Williams condition was reported seri- ous Thursday and it is feared that there are internal injuries, as he is un- able to move his head or neck.

 The census figures for the town of killingly will show many interesting facts when they are made public. Par ticularly will this be true relative to the number of persons of alien birth now resident in this town. There have been many changes in the population of Killingjy since the census of 1900 was made. The Polish population will proba bly, show the largest increase and , the Italian residents are much more numerous than they were a decade ago The new census reports will also make known the proportion of the races that have taken up farms in Killingly during the past few years, for there have been many changes in the ownership of agricultural lands. whether Killingly will show a loss or gain in total population is matter about which there is division of opin- ions.
