Windsor Locks. Conn, July "a col
oFed infant in the arms of its mother

struck the infant in the head and PEN

When the mother and infant reached
this town the mother got off and call
ed up DR.. Coogan to attend to the in

in for such a depth that it probably
had reached the brain and the full ex-
tent of the injury could not be deter
mined at once. The mother and chill
