BLED 10 DEATH FROM WOUND
Accidental Discharge of Shot Gun Tore Great Mass of Flesh from Frank CaPuto's Leg and Severed Arteries-Died Soon After Being Brought to Hospital from Lisbon Sun day Morning.

The accidental discharge of a shot gun and the inaccessibility of a physi- elan to care for the wound. first aid measures such as we're used, proving of no avail, resulted in the bleeding to death of Frank Caputo, an Italian foreman, in Lisbon Sunday morning. The gun, when the trigger was acci- dentally hit, sent its charge into the back of Caputo's leg a short distance above the knee. A big chunk of flesh was torn loose and the large arteries in that region ruptured. So quickly did his life blood flow forth that the rough bandaging of his companion was of little use and when the doctor arrived, two hours after the shooting. the man was practically exsanguinated He was rushed to the Backus hospital. however, where he died half an hour after his arrival
 Caputo was a 26 year old Italian em- the job of macadamizing the River road to Jewett City. His brother, Daniel Caputo, is MT. Tryon's head Italian foreman, but Frank had been a laborer until three weeks ago, when on account of his ability and good work he also was raised to foreman The two brothers ran the commissary of the road building gang. which has it's camp on the River road near Round Hill, this side of the Kennedy place, about half way to Jewett City. It was probably through his connection with the commissary that Caputo got hold of the shotgun and went off Sunday morning, with a companion to indulge in the pastime of shooing crows. The gang of p men was supposed to go to work Sunday to make up some lost time, but Caputo and his friend decid- ed for a holiday and made off for the woods without the knowledge of his brother, the head foreman. Tn the course of their walk they scared a big bullfrog into hole and Caputo laid his gun down on a rock, loaded and trigger up, and went after the frog. Then the gun went off and took away the back part of Caputos leg, cutting the arteries

BULLET CRASHED
 THROUGH WINDOW
MT. and Mrs. Frank c. Kent Had Mar
 row Escape from Injury.

Mir. and Mrs. Frank c. Kent were at dinner in their home at 13 Gorton street, New London. Friday afternoon. when a bullet struck the dining room window shattering 1t and fell close to the table at which they were sitting. The fact that neither MT. or Mrs. Kent was hit appeared to be simply good luck.
 The window was heavy plate glass and the lead missile split in two. The halves of the bullet were picked up later at different sections of the room. Shattered glass flew in all directions.
 It was considered probable that the bullet was spent by hitting some hard object previous to striking the win dow That it was fired from a great distance was shown by the absence of any report
 The Rents do not believe that the bullet was discharged from a weapol- intended to bring them harm, but that some careless marksman shooting at a target possibly made bad shot which hit their house.

DOCK FOR PEARL HARRoR.
Engineer Says II Must Be Floating
Structure, Dry One Impossible.

Structure, Dry One impossible.
Washington Post: 1T will be i'm
possible for the United States gov
eminent ever to build a dry dock on
the bottom Of Pearl harbor, Hawaii,
in my Judgment" remarked Joseph A,
Hemenway, an engineer, of New York,
who recently made an extended visit
to the Hawaiian islands and viewed
the ruins of the work In Pearl harbor,
at the Shoreham.
en- the first place, the geological
formation of the sea bottom is such
that 1T will not sustain the weight OF
q dry dock. The greater part of the
Hawaiian islands are a coral forma-
ton. It is not surprising to an en-
gineer, after looking into the work
done on the Pearl harbor dry dock,
that the cofferdam blew up.
In prosecuting the work on the dry
dock, it was necessary to do a lot OF
excavation before a cofferdam could
be built, and in order to support the
cofferdanl 1T was necessary to drive
piles into the s~ubstrata, which was Of
coral formation. The result was that
when the weight was taken from the
top. the piles. relieved Of their weight
WWW
ann to the surface, and the work Of
months was destroyed. In my opinion
there can never be a dry dock built In
that harbor, though, OF course. ! am
not familiar with geological forrna-
ton Of the whole country. i know only
in general that the Hawaiian islands
are of coral formation, and that twill
be centuries before they are as stable,
we might say. as other parts OF the
world.
There lis, of course. no a why
the government should not build a
floating dry dock for Pearl harbor, and
In my opinion, this should be done
