William Maine made (an unusual dis
 covery near his home at Laurel Glen
 at 6.30 Tuesday morning. He found
 an old man by, the roadside in an un- conscious condition and nearby was Ia horse lying on it's back, harnessed
 to an overturned wagon and in such a way that the animal could not re- gain it's feet. The man was William
 Humphrey, ased 75, who resides at the Palmer, place, Laurel Glen. MT.
 Humphrey was carried into the home
 of MT. Maine and Dr. Harrington sum- moned from North Stonington. MT
 Humphreys skull was fractured in the
 left forehead and the chances of his recovery are slight. Later the in- |jured man was taken to his home in the doctors automobile and showed no signs of consciousness.
 MT. Humphrey was driving from Westerly to his home when the acci-- dent happened. There is indication that the cause was a runaway about 8 o'clock Tuesday evening, as a run
 away was heard about that time, but
 search failed to reveal results. It is therefore probable that MT. Hum phreys was lying in an unconscious condition for nearly seven hours be- fore he was found and cared for by MT. Maine. Of course the horse was on it's back for the same period, un-
 able to frse himself from the athills.
