jurcd-Offcrs Land for Gardens Imperial Entertainers to Open Fair. Continuing his efforts to secure Identification of the man whose
 mangled body was found on the rail-
 road tracks between the passenger
 station and the East street crossing
 early yesterday morning, Medical
 Examiner C. w. Moody went to Bristol late this afternoon to make inquiries at the plant of the Bristol
 Brass company regarding meal
 ticket issued to IF. Ryan," which was
 discovered in pocket of the victims clothes. The ticket is the only clue
 on which the authorities have to work and unless the officials at the brass
 mill can give some information con-
 corning its owner, it is doubtful if the body will ever be identified.
 The lifeless form was discovered about o'clock in the morning by one
 of the crew on switcher. Its con- dition indicated that the man had
 been struck by train. probably an
 extra east bound freight, which passed through the town about mid- night. One arm had been cut off and CH3 HGCk was UIONcll, Lltc dppOdIbuC0 of the body indicating that death had undoubtedly been instantaneous. The man seemingly was about thirty years of age and was probably a 1aborer of the floating type. That he may have come from; the west was indicated by his clothing which bore the mark of a store in Idaho.
 Following the discovery of the body Dr. C. w.. Moody was notified. He turned the remains over to w. A. Bailey and company to prepare for | burial There is belief that the man | had been employed in the brass mill and may have been walking to East Bristol, after having spent the early evening either in New Britain or Plainville, when he was run down by l the train.
 Medical Examiner Moody has or dered that burial of the remains be delayed for 8 few days in the hope that identification may be made. Motorcyclist Injured. John Kalanski of Forestville. sus- tained multiple abrasions about the l body late yesterday when the motor cycle which he was riding crashed into pole on Forestville avenue, the impact of the collision throwing him into the street. With friend Kalan- ski was riding tandem through Plainville when the rear tire on his motorcycle exploded, the machine swervfng into the ditch and crashing l into the pole.
 Kalanski was rendered helpless and it was at first thought that he had been badly injured. Dr. c. W. Moody was summoned and after an examina- ] ton, he took the young man to his l home, none of the injuries being of a serious character. The Forestille ] mans companion escaped with but few scratches. The motorcycle was badly damaged.
 Offers Land For Gardens. Charles H. Norton of Worcester. formerly of this place, has written to the Plainville Trust company, advising the officials of the bank of his willing ness to give the use of his land on
 Red Stone Hill for cultivation for crops this summer in an effort to help relieve the food situation. Pro- viding some organization or set of men will take up the proposition, MT. Norton has offered, not only the land l itself, but the services of men in his employ in ploughing it. He will in addition furnish the fertilizer re- 1 Quired.
 In his letter MT. Morton expresses 1 the wish to do something to insure the gathering of good crops this fall. With | others he realizes the seriousness of | the food situation and the possibilities l in the event of the war continuing for any lengthy period and he is willing ] to donate the land to be cultivated. A. A. Mcleod, treasurer of the | bank, to whom the letter was ad- dressed, has called a meeting of the l selectmen and citizens who have had experience as farmers, to be held to- night at which time MT. Norton's of- 1 fer will be considered. There are other property owners 1 willing to give the free use of their 1 land to people who are anxious to i plant gardens this summer but who l have no suitable places of their own, 1 P1ainville people seemingly are to l be given a chance to respond to Pres l idept Wilson's plea for big crops this year and all who are willing to give l up part of their time to the culti- \ vation of gardens, that the cost of ] living may be kept from soaring high CT and for the welfareeo of the country 1 itself, will have an opportunity to do | so without going to any expense other than the cost of seed.
