HORSE KILLED IN CRASH
 WITH TROLLEY CAR.
Blackboard Driven in Front of Car in
 Time to Be Wrecked.

A trolley car with Motorman Tooth
 and Conductor Murray in charge struck a blackboard on Main street at o'clock last night and killed horse which was being led behind the vehi- cle. William Seeley and WilliamMer- ritt were in charge of the. outfit. The men had started from. Stamford where they live early yesterday morn ing and were bound for Naugatuck where they had planned to obtain a sprinkling cart and return with 1t to Stamford. They drove one horse and led the ctker behind. In the blinding snow storm the men got on the troll ley track near Barnum> avenue in front of a Paradise Green car. The car struck the led horse and broke his leg. The blackboard lost wheel in the collision. Constable Fred Pal mer appeared on. the scene and or dered the men to put up the horses as he considered that they were un- lit to have charge of the animals on account of over, indulgence in stimu- iants. The injured horse was raised to his feet but fell a moment later and died. The other horse was talk en to Nettleton's livery stable. The trolleymen assert that the Merritt outfit swung into the track directly in front of the car and that it was impossible to avert the collision.

Fairfield
Special to The Farmer.)

Fairfield, Dec. 4-The third accident in the past week on the turn near the Oliver Turney place took place yes- terday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock, when the cylinder Columbia car belonging to Carl F. Siemon, president of the Siemon Hard Rubber Corp, Bridge port, was smashed while making the turn at a lively rate.
 According to those who saw the ac- cident, the driver of the car who was with another person was travelling westerly with clear road ahead of him. AS the car struck the little bridge at the curve the, driver seemed to lose control of the machine and went into the gutter on the side of of the car attempting to get out of the rut, but plunged into two large poles cutting them as clean as a whis- tie. The force of the poles threw the car across the street where it landed on the sidewalk.
 The occupants were not thrown out but received a shaking up. The com plete front part of the car was wreck ed. Men were sent from the Aston garage, Bridgeport who worked on the car all afternoon and put it in a condition to be lowed back to the city. This is the third auto accident on this curve in the past week.

physically for weeks after the fight.
Poison which was given him affected
his stomach afterward and for month
he could hardly retain solid food. His
favorite dishes did not possess any
charm of taste and his whole body
seemed as If stricken with rheuma-

sary.
