Clough would keep to the left side of the road, and turned to the left, but Mr. Clough turn ed to take the right side of the road, and both cars met, running 25 miles. There was crash and all were thrown into the street and both cars were smashed

 Dr. Frank A. Barnard, Worcester, who was on an electric car that came along just as the collision occurred rendered first aid. while William w. Taft, Jr., went to Stafford's store and telephoned for Dr. R. s. Fletcher.
 An attempt was made to get the Clough family physician on the tele- phone and also a doctor from Putnam, Conn, for the Foisey family, as bo-a parties wanted their own doctors, but the phone was out of order and they could not be reached.
