in Thompson for delivery to a Web ster officer.
 The account referred to says: of ficer Anderson and his prisoner alight- ed from the Webster bound car at the state line. about one mile from Webster. With young D8viau hand cuffed, the policeman waited for the Webster officer to appear. When the Webster officer appeared, a few min utes later, he found an excited and chagrined officer, who told of Daviau's escape a few minutes before.
 Both policemen beat it through the woods. Officer Anderson, who is not built for sprinting. was no match for the agile Daviau. who put his thumb to his nose and twirled his fingers in derision when he had put a few yards between himself and his captor"
 The truth is. Officer Anderson was little too generous in allowing Da viau liberty after he had gotten off the car with the prisoner and in a moment when the officer was not pay ing close attention to the young man he took advantage of an opportunity to make break and get away to the woods.
 Both the Webster and the Attawau- gan officers searched all through the vicinity for long time, but could find no trace of the fellow. Daviau got away with handcuhfs on, fact that may possibly lead 10 some clue that will result in his recapture.
 The young man is wanted in Weo- ster for larceny of a number of arti- cles from a motorboat at Webster lake.

 Miss Myrtis L'Heureux was struck by an electric car Wednesday night while attempting to cross the track to go to her home, near Davis switch. in Westfield. The young woman had just afghted from an automobile, getting off on the side fartllest from the car tracks.

Her face was scratched and she was oth- erwise slightly bruised and shaken up, but was not seriously Injured.

STATE POLICE NEEDED.
Should Get After Brooklyn Chauffeur Who is Menace to Life and Safety.


 Nobody but a d. fool would drive an automobile at that clip through the business section of the town" was the comment made by one man who watch ed a big machine tear it's way through Main street about 9.30 Thursday morn ing. The remark was justified. The clip set by the crazy chauffeur was not much under forty miles an hour. The street was filled with traffic at the time, many people were crossing back and forth, and an electric car was us ing it's share of the roadway Fine place and time to turn a crazy man loose with high power car.
 It has come to pass here in Daniel son that the violators of the automo- bile laws can get away with about any old kind of a stunt. This town is supposed to be in Connecticut, too, and covered by the states laws, but this doesn't seem to help any. Local drivers are, as a rule, very careful in operat ing their machines in the business sec tion. Most of the trouble is caused by tourists. The car that swept through Thursday morning, threatening death to someon at every turn of the wheels, bore a Rhode Island registry It is in a sense, however, local ear being the property of man who has a summer place in Brooklyn. It has earned the reputation of being the fastest car hereabouts, but if the state police get on to their job 1t should earn another kind of a reputation ir short order.
 Since Danielson ceased to be in mo- license territory last fall, and the op- portunity for doing raids on liquol joints disappeared, little has beer seen here of the state police They
