Popular Young Newport
Man in Hazing Accident
Is Walking Again

The condition of Justin Curtis has
continued to improve since his return
from the hospital at Ithaca, where he
was the victim of most unfortunate
hazing accident at Cornell college on
the night of October 81.
The sophomores were hazing the
freshmen that night and some of the
freshmen secreted in the building
were watching for returning sopho-
mores, resolved to duck them and thus
secure revenge. Curtis, who was a
sophomore had had no part in the
hazing, returning to his room about
twelve was seized by three freshmen
and a lively tussle ensued.
They being pretty tired out from
earlier encounters he was able to
pull himself and them towards an
open doorway in the futile effort to
get into the room and shut them out
and so escaped his ducking.
The struggle continued across the
room when by some sudden twist he
caused them to loosen their hold and
Curtis fell back onto the open win
dow sill with such impetus that he
lost his balance and fell head first
four stories, distance of siXty-eight
feet to the solid pavement.
B. S. Curtis went at once to Ithaca
and for several days it was not
thought possible to save Justin's life,
but by the most expert treatment, and
skillful care a miracle has been per-
formed and Sunday the last plaster
cast was removed. He is now able
to walk about the house and to use
his left hand, and is in good spirits,
having triumphed over fractured
skull. a crushed right arm and two
broken wrists, broken hip, and
every part of his body bruised and
sore. sss9s gssfs4

charge to the jury in the automobile

ed that Fred ]. Tcwksbury of Rye

defendant was driven at 40 miles an
hour, and the defendant wantonly,
maliciously, unlawfully, carelessly
and negligently turned her auto as
it was about to meet the auto in
which the plaintiff was riding to the
left of the center of the highway and
upon, the car in which he was riding.
and thereby pushed and crowded his
car into the river. That the defend

troll and that thereby the defendant
wantonly, maliciously, recklessly and
neglgently crowded and pushed the
plaintiffs car out of the highway, over
the embankment and into the river,
to the damage of the plaintiff in the
sum of $4,000.
