NEWSBOYS PREVENT
 WRECKING OF TRAIN

Winsted, March 39-Char1es Healey and Andrew Palker, newsboys, of New Hartford, are entitled to a big reward, in the opinion of trainmen on the Cen tral New England Railway, for saving thes late passenge train from Hart ford to Winsted from crashing into a landslide at New Hartford, Thursday night.
