The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1914-06-13
STAMFORD

Yesterday afternoon d very unfor- tunate accident happened at the cor ner of Main and Broad streets about o'clock when a passing automobi1e ran over little Isabelle Hyde, daugh- ter of MT. and Mrs. Moses Hyde of West Broad street. Ferd Buddington, who drives Plumb & Bartranas gro- cery wagon, had stopped at the Hyde home and took several of the children for a. ride as far as the corner on his way back to the center.
 The children got out at the corner and started to walk back, playing as they went along, when a large auto mobile passed by and struck little Is- abelIe. The driver immediately stop ped and picked the girl up and the postnan who happened to be going by directed him to the lite ones resi- dence. There it was found that she was considerably bruised and cut and DT. Howland was summoned to at tend her. The autonobile party did everything they could for the little tots comfort before they went on their way. It will probably be- sev- eral days before the child will be able to be about again.
 PETTTuONH NOT GFlANTED1 t@ About a dozen Stratford citizens went to Hartford on Thursday after noon to attend, the hearing on the pc tition recently submitted in regard to shifting the trolley tracks as @far as Paradise Green to Columbia Farm from the side of the road to the cen ter. The petition was not granted, as 1t was considered too much of an ex- pense, $z4 900 being the estimated Cost Of the work.
