 HITS GIRL WITH AUTO
Nellie Magonia, Aged Three, Not Seriously Hurt-Par-
 ty Going to Game.

Crossing the street to her home from peanuts, Nellie Magonia, three years old daughter of MT, and Mrs. Caesar Magonia of 476 South Main street, was struck by a touring car driven by Alderman Valentine B. Chamber lain, Jr., just before II o'clock this morning. The child received a glancing blow and fell between the wheels, but apparently was not se- verely hurt. She received a cut on her right leg near the knee and was found to have lump on her head, but Dr. Joseph Robinson, who was called, could find no evidence of a fracture.
 The accident happened just south Of Brook street and that it did not rrove more serious was undoubtedly due to the fact that MT. Chamber lain had his car in control and in- stantly slowed down, when he saw the child attempt to cross the road The little girl saw the autom obile and began to zig-zag until she was struck
 the Yale-Princeton football game at New Haven and with him was Mrs. Chamberlain: his brother-in- law, Frank G. Vibberts, treasur- CT of the New Britain Trust company, his sister, Miss Bertha and Miss Virginia Hart.
 The child's mother who was stand ing in the yard watching the little one, witnessed the accident. She rushed out and grasped her offspring MT Chamberlain stopped his car within it's length and as soon as pos sible called the police on the tele- phone. Officer Malone responded with the patrol and a hurried run was made to the scene. The child's s parents, however, would not hear of her being taken to the hospital and she was left in the care of Dr. Rob- inson. After giving a report of the accident to Officer Malone, MT. Cham berlain was allowed to proceed with his party to the football game.
