STATE POLICE ENLISTED.
Will Endeavor to Find Who Shot S. G.
 Hutchins.

Some information of interest has come to the police in connection with the shooting affair of Friday night, but nothing that at present can be considered as more than possibly help ful in leading to some clue of a more positive nature. Chief Filling gave considerab bIe time to the case Monday. Today he expects to have a member of the state police force here and the investigation will be continued.
 There was little change Monday in MT. Hutchins' condition; no complica- reason to revise the original estimate of the very favorable chances he has for complete recovery.
 About two years ago MT. Hutchins. while travelling from Hartford to Dan ielson in his automobile, was shot at, the incident occurring a few miles east of here. The bullet struck the rear of the, metal tonneau and made considerable dent, but caused no oth- CT damage. There is no reason, how ever, nor any reasonable grounds up- on which to attempt to associate that incident with the one of last Friday night. The original shooting incident is regarded, as it always has been, as the work of some rufffan opposed to automobiles and the men who drive them.
 One effect of the shooting has been to cause about every family in Dam lelson that has been in the habit of living with window shades raised at night to keep them tightly drawn. The toWnspeople are in a state of unrest as the result of what is regarded as the work of a lunatie, and no one cares to be a target for the bullets of the maniac.
 The practice of carrying revolvers is also very much on the increase among men who are called upon to be out late at night.

INJURED IN WRECK.
Those Who Related Unpleasant Ex- periences at Jewett City Monday.

William T. Darou. an employe of the signal department of the railroad company, with his home in this city, was one of those slightly injured in the train wreck at Jewett City Mon day morning. MT. Derou was sitting in one of the rear seats of the smoker which was on the rear of the train when the crash came. He was thrown of him. striking on his hands. with his head down between the seats. Mr. Derou said Monday afternoon that the only inconvenience that he had real ized up to that time was a lameness of the back. He said that he had diff ficulty in getting out of the position where he was thrown. but that he was well pleased to escape as easily as he did, considering what had hap pened to some of the other passen- gers.
 Raymond T. Jodoin of Sprague was another passenger who was slightly injured. MT. Jodoin told about his ex- perience while in Putnam Monday af- ternoon. He was riding in the coach at the time of the wreck. and, like many other passengers, was shot for ward and over seat. MT. Jodoin's aerial flight was checked when he came in contact with a very f1eshy woman. His injuries consisted of a sprained leg, slight, and Q general shaking up. MT. Jodoin's trousers were slit in both legs, over the knees,
 
 wearing apparel, but he stayed on his job for the rest of the day.
 The most pitiful victim of the wreck seen in this city was the fireman of the passenger train. He left here on the 3.26 express for his home in Hart ford, being assisted aboard by Agent G. L. Baldwin. The fireman's right leg was badly burned as the result of having slid in on the live coals of the frebox at the time the smash came. The fireman was in an ex- hausted condition when he left here for Hartford.

Judge Of One Court Considered Enough

Very strong pressure is beinS brought to bear upon Judge of Probate James A. Shea to withdraw from his. candi- dacy as judge of the police court. Lead ing citizens of all parties contend that in view of the fact that Judge Shea presides over the probate court it bars him from any political right to ask more public official favcrs The senti- ment is very strong that Judge Arnold should receive the reappointment be- cause of his able and independent ad- ministration as head of the police court or that Attorney s. B. Harvey. the democratic candidate who is the as- sistant prosecuting attorney and one of Wilimantic's very able lawyers, should receive the appointment. A very strong public expression of opinion to this effect will be presented to the ju- dietary committee if Judge Shea should insist on staying in the race.
