Train Runs Into Auto Truck With Two
 Eastford Men in It
Percy Hussey. P. Dies in Few Minutes. William Coburn Put on Dangerous List
 ,ai Hospital

Percy Hussey, 22, of Eastford was killed almost instantly and William Coburn, 10, of Eastford, was probably fatally Injured, when an auto truck in
 which they were riding from Eastford to Putnam was struck by a passenger train at WTight's crossing in the town of Pomfret, at s.30 Monday morning.
 The base of Hussey skull was crush- ed in. The first to arrive near him saw him breathe for moment and then expire. There were no broken bones or limbs and aside from ,the crushed skull DO injuries appeared.
 Ccburn received compound frac. ture of the skull, concussion Iof the brain, broken right arm and many bad bruises. He was removed to the
 Day kimball hospital where little hope for his recovery was given out.
 The heavy truck was owned by Co., burn and Hussey worked for him as driver. The men were on their way to
 Putnam and were struck by the s o'clock train for Hartford which makes up in Putnam and is known as
 Wright's train because James Wright of this city Is conductor Engineer William Koran WAS al the throttle 0n
 account of the Bar Harbor being late Wright's train was unable to make up on time and when it left Putnam 1t was twenty minutes late. Possibly
 the men, who knew of the train, be. lieved it to have passed and were pay ing no attention as far AS this train
 was concerned.
 Just as the train neared the grade crossing the large truck ran onto the track and the engine struck il square ly. The heavy machine was carried
 along five or six ,hundred feet down the track and smashed to pieces. The occupants were thrown to one side and the wheels of the train did not pass
 over the body of either.
 As soon as the train was brought to a stop all assistance. possible was given. Miss Edna Chapdelaine, daughter of
 MT. ,and Mrs. Victor Chapdelaine, Church street, was among the psssen- gers. She was one of the first to get out and give assistance. Her studies in physical culture had included course in first aid work and she used 1t to good advantage. Her coolness and the businesslike manner in which she went about the work which others were ieither unable or afraid to do brought forth praise from an official of the railroad company who was on the train. She toIe strips of cloth from the injured mans shirt and soon had him in bandages. He was later remov- ed to the Day Kimball hospital in Fayette l.. Wright's automobile. MT. Coburn ,at one time drove the
 Eastford stage to Putnam where he is
 well known.
 Hussey came to Eastford from New Hampshire. He is nephew Of w. H. Ross, the present stage driver, and for while made his home with him. Since he has been driving flor Coburn he has been boarding with him. Mrs. Ross accompanied the body to Parsons vile, Vt, where Hussey has mother and brother.

Stabbed His BenefactOr

Peter Saulter, lover 60, wanderer, stabbed his benefactor, Fred H. Berger, South Woodstock, twice in the arm with jack knife, at the Berger home, Wednesday morning.

Probable cause was found and Ssulter was taken to jail by deputy sheriff, l.. H. Healey, in default of a three hundred dollar bond.
 Saulter came to Woodstock early in the summer. He was down and out and applied to Berger, who runs a blacksmith shop, for work. Work was given him and he was taken into the Berger home to board.
 For few days before the assault it was noticed that Saulter had been act ing strangely. Wednesday morning Berger heard a noise in the mans room and found Saulter throwing things about. Berger remonstrated with his employe and Saulter drew a jacs knife. In the tussle,that fol- lowed Berger received deep cut in the right arm and triangular wound in the left arm.
 Mrs. Berger ran to her husbands assistance but together they were un- able to take the knife away from the frenzied man. Fritz Berger, twelve years old, ran to the blacksmith shop near by and got pair of iron tongs. With the tongs he got a grip on Saul ter's wrist and wrenched lit until the sharp pain made him drop the knife. He was then thrown down by Mir Berger and held until deputy sheriff Healey arrived and put the handcuffs on him.
 Dr. Joseph Spalding was called and dress Berger's wounds.
