The child VI as brought to Putnam in ] an automobile and Is now on the dan gerous list at the Day Kimball hospi. tai. Dr. George Nj. Burroughs of Dan. ielson, who gave first aid and accom-
 panied fhe chld to the hospital, said
 that never in his experience had he
 seen such courage and fortitude as the
 child displayed. Not whlmper, not a tear and scarcely a word until she
 was being etherized when she com plained that the drug made her feel sick. 1 The passengers on the car were over
 come by the sight of the little child s condition. Strong men turned away
 and left the scene. Women sat with
 their heads bowed down ss the car was lacked up to free the little girl The operatives of che car were overcome The conductor was unable to make a
 a record in his report book his hand 1 trembled so and newspaper man came to his aid. Those who saw the

 going five miles an hour but it was i'm
 possible to stop the car before we 1 struck the little girl. 5--
 When the car was stopped 1t was l found, that the el.lld was under the front trucks. The left forward wheel

RANCH WOMAN
Hadn't Worn Skirt in Two Years
Asked for Divorce for Deseriion

Ali a short calendar session of the su- na,ior court this Friday morning Min nis Alien Searls of Fort Washable, wyoming, brought suit for divorce from her husband, Ennis Newton Sesrls, now of Pomfret.
 Mrs. searls testified that they were married in Brook lyn, N. Y, Jan. 5th, 1897. At that time her husband was in patent medicine business in New Haven. When she inherited some money from her mother her husband wanted to go West so she put Sl0,000 into the Wyoming ranch .5. Her husband made yearly trips East but left her at the ranch, fifty miles from the nearest town,, sometimes with only one hired man on the place. The ranch WIS composed of 400 acres snd was mostly sagebrush which they hoped by irrigation to develop into al fslfa. t4.4ia4 ii
 In 1914 her husband came East and wrote her to the effect that it was best that they agree to disagree and that he was net coming lack, Since that time she had not seen him. She said he YVES paying attention to some woman in New Haven.
 For two years she said she did not wear a skirt riding herself among the sattle on the ranch to carry 1t on aone. Her husband made over some property to her worth 5000 and paid her $50 a month so that she could Eeep the ranch going. She sold the ranch last fall and came east but intends to go to Arizona and take up land there.
 Mrs. Cora E. Cavanagh, sister of the petitioner, testified that she kenew the woman in New Haven whom the hus hand was paying attention to. She knew that her sister had not been east in seven years. E.+.E
 The court took the ease under ad- visement. 1a4
 f-.~s-
 A case involving less than $50 was tried in the superior court in Putnam before Judge Gardiner Green Thurs day. The plaintiff, Max Sehulman of Central Village, brought an action for breach of contract against Ivar Ha. vunen of Brooklyn.
 Plaintiff testified that on Feb. 29th, 1916, he bought 49 hens and rooster of defendant for $35 and gave him S1O on account. That he went to get the hens as agreed on March 3rd and that defendant would not deliver them saying that he sold them too cheap. Neither did the defendant deliver back the $10, according to the plaintiff.
 Defendant admitted the sale but tes- tined that when plaintiff came for the hens he saw one with sore neck and began to "kickp whereupon he, the de. fendant, gave him back his $l0. .
 A peculiar incident of the proceed ing was that defendant testified that he took the number of the S10 bill and later got it from neighbor of his where plaintiff had paid it out after he received it back as part payment for a cow. + f
