Finally Barney reIented. He pro-

wagon and ton of hay. The rail
road folks could not show any scheme
on his part and was the loser in its
suit A jury also held that an en-
gineer who would slam bang into a
load of hay in broad daylight should
be held responsible. and Old John got
about three times the value of the
property destroyed.
BY and by when the pumpkin season
had come old Mr.. Ransome kindly
permitted passenger train to run into
a wagonload of them-that is, his oxen
stopped to rest when the wagon was
halfway over the track. He was heard
shouting at them at the top of his voice
and seen to flourish his CAD in an ex-
cited manner, but he was forced to es-
cape to save his own life. Pieces of
those pumpkins were picked up miles
away, and a week after the wagon
was wrecked again. and one of the
oxen was converted into fresh beef
Here was groundwork for another
lawsuit, and the jury decided that any
railroad that would strive to lessen the
pumpkin crop ought to pay for it right
smartly.

STAMFORD MAN IS DEAD FROM
 KICK OF HORSE
Arthur Bedell Dies in Hos pital After Futile Opera
 tiOn. '

Stratford, Aug. 2.-Arthur Bedell, aged 27, one of the best known of Stratford's younger men, is dead of in- ternal injuries received on Monday aft ernoon when a horse kicked him in the abdomen.
 Death occurred yesterday afternoon at St. vincents hospital, Bridgeport, after an operation had been perform ed as a desperate means of saving the young mns life. The operation dis closed that the violence of the blows from the horses hoofs had frightfully torn his vital organs.
 Bedell was the son of MT. and Mrs. William E. Bedell. His father has been a ship builder in Stratford for many years, and he was working with his parent when the fatality occurred About 2 o'clock Monday afternoon he left the shipyards, on the Housatonic river, to get horse from a pasture, nearby. He was found unconscious, a little later, by fellow workers, who heard his moans. The extent of the marks on his abdomen indicated that the animal had driven both hoofs at him with terrific force.
 Bedell was attended by Dr. E. II. Hennessey, who had him transferred in an automobile to St. Vincent's hos pital There, yesterday, Dr. Hennes- sey and Dr. McQueeney performed an operation, hoping to restore the shat tered body, but the injuries were too severe. He succumbed last evening.
 Bedell commanded the confidence and resuect of his fellow townsmen to an unusual degree. Unassuming and genial, he had host of friends. His death has plunged the business center into gloom. His parents are pros- trated.
 Surviving him are his parents, his widow, who was Miss Ethel Joy of Harral avenue, Bridgeport, and son, Herbert Arthur, aged two years; three brothers, William C.,Georke and Floyd M. Bedell, and two sisters, Mrs. George Hawksley and Mrs. George I. Culver, all of Stratford. He was a member of the Stratford Fire department The funeral will take place tomorrow aft ernOOn. tl.I
