Rev. C. B. ThurSten Fractures 1hiQh
 When He Falls on Walk.
CONDITION CAUSES GREAT ANXIETY
Physicians Hold Consultation and Advise His Removal to Hospital Local Wireless Operator Gets Federal Lcensc-Drunl< Fined.

Suffering from badly fractured thigh, Rev. Gilbert B. Thurston, pas tor of the Methodist church, was to- day admitted to St. Francis hospital in Hartford, where reports of his condition caused his friends consider able apprehension. MT. Thurston has been in poor health for some time and his weakness will make his fight against his injuries extremely hard.
 The minister's thigh was broken Saturday afternoon when he fell on the ice coated sidewalk on Canal street. He was suffering great pain when picked up and was taken to his home on Broad street on sled. Dr. C. w. Moody was called and he gave first aid treatment, subsequently, call ing in Dr. Root of Hartford for a consultation. The latter advised the clergyman's removal to the hospital.
 The townspeople are genuinely sympathetic over MT. Thurston's mis- fortune. He has been here but a year. Nevertheless he has made a number Of friends who are anxious about his condition. This is particularly true of the members of the Methodist church. They hold the pastor in high esteem and recently extended a unanimous call to him to remain here another year.
 Rev. l.. F. Baker, a former pastor of the Advent Christian church, who is now an evangelist, making his home in Plainville, conducted the morning service in the Methodist church yesterday. In the evening the service was omitted on account of MT. Thurston's inability to be present. While the pastor is in the hospital District Superintendent Rev. E. A. Dent of New Haven will arrange to have ministers in neighboring towns conduct the services here.

Prentice Company Annual.

Prentice Company Annual.
 At the annual meeting of the G.. Prentice Manufacturing company held late Saturday afternoon at the offices of the factory on New Britain road, a change was made in the personnel of officers. Benjamin Munch, the son Of Samuel Munch, the well known New Britain business man, was elected 10 the office of secretary Up to this time Alphonse B. Porter has held the position of secretary in conjunction with the office of treasurer, but in- creased business has made his duties so numerous that the directors felt it necessary to divide the work.
 The elections in full were as fol- lows:
 President--George Prentice.
 Vice President-R. o. Clark
 Treasurer-A. B. Porter.
 Secretary-Rcnjamin Munch.
 These officers, together with pr. Martin, T. Prentice and R. H. Hih- bard constitute the board of directors. Messrs Hubbard and Munch are the new directors. R. C. Legat was re- elected superintendent.
 Business at the Prentice factory has been brisk since the company was first organized and the concern was obliged to erect a large new factory during the past year. Buckles are the chief product of the shop.
 Horse Has Fall.
 While driving along Pennington road toward his home in Berlin Sat- urday night, Jerry Vendrilla was nearly thrown from the seat of his wagon as his horse stumbled in a washout and fell. The shafts were broken and other minor damage done to the vehicle.
 Jerry tried to get the horse back on his feet again but was meeting with no success until Officer Ritchie and William Lyons chanced along. With their assistance, he managed to get the equine up. The damage to the wagon was such that the horse could not be hitched to it and it was neces- sary for Jerry to leave the vehicle at l the Kilby House and use a Wheelbar- l row to convey to his home four pigs which were in the wagon. !
