great an undertaking as ever fell to

They will find this historic record of

$1,000 NEEDED FOR
D. K. H. FUND
Hoped That Popular Subscrip.
ton VIII Make Up the
Amount
Drive Nov Going On.-Mrs. w. F
Rafferty, In Charge In Putnam

Only three thousand dollars is need
ed to make up the S25, eco necessary
to get like appropriation from the
state for the enlargement of the Day
kimball hospital Of Putnam
To raise this small amount pledges
are being circulated in all towns Of
eastern Windham county The sub
seriber promises to pay before Nov.
1st the amount which he fills in on
the blank Mrs W. T. Rafferty,.
Grove street, has charge of the work
in Putnam and this towns quota is
only $500. Checks should be made
out to "The Day Kimball Annex
Fund"
Everyone familiar with the situa-
ton well knows that the hospital Is
in need of more room. 1t is also
known that by a vote of the last ses-
sion of the general assembly S25, 900
is made available providing like
amount is raised outside This will
make a fund of $4,000 and the much
needed enlargement can be made.
Manufacturers and others have sub
scribed generously and now, as stat
ed. only $4,000 is needed to assure
receiving the state appropriation.
It would be inconceivable that the
fund would fail for the lack of the
$4,000 needed 1t might be expected
that persons of means would step for
ward and Immediately make up this
small deficiency, and it is hoped that
this may happen as soon as the situa-
ton IS given publicity.
For weeks past the hospital has
been overtaxed and cots have been
put in use. The growing demands up
on the institution make larger quar-
ters imperative. Plans have already
been drawn and as soon as the money
is assured work win begin. This
should be at the earliest possible mo-
ment, as right now, today, more room
Is required than is available.
The work being done at the hospital
needs no woris-6f comment It has
become the most important institu-
ton in the county 1t would be im-
possible to get along without the hos
rital, and as it is now it is impossible
to meet ali demands upon it with
out greatly overcrowding

humanity can be made than a genea-

PASSENGERS HURT
IN r. R. ACCIDENT
Trucks On Car OF Worcester
Train Crash Into a Caboose
On Siding at North Grosven-
or-Dale.
Special Trains to Carry Doctors Pro
vsded Bat Nas Needed

Several people were injured Mon
day evening when the rear truck on
a car of the passenger train leaving
Putnam about 7 o'clock for Worces-
ter crashed into eaboese on siding
just north of the North Grosvenor-
Dale passenger station.
The two passengers sustaining the
greatest injury were; Mrs. Ruth
Miller of Webster and ] r. Rollins,
also of Webster. Mrs. Miller had a
BADLY bruised shoulder and Mr.. Miller
had bad cut on the face from brok-
en- window glass. Both were attend
ed by DR.. Emelien Roche of North
Grosvenor-Da
Soon after the accident happened a
special train was made up in Putnam
to carry doctors to the scene, but be
fore the train started word came that
it would not be necessary for the
physicians to come, and the train was
cancelled.
Besides the two injured that were
treated by the physician several re-
ceived minor cuts and bruises. The
damaged car was detached from the
train, which proceeded to Worcester.
The train had just passed the North
Grosvenor-Dal station when the pc
culiar accident happened The hind
trucks of the last car struck the ca
boose and remained lodged against it,,
tipping it partially over The hind
part of the car was dragged for hun
dred feet, humping along over the
ties Of the track.
1t is believed that the trucks must
have worked loose before the train
reached the spot IF the accident and
have Jumped the amek
It is said that Mrs. Miller was in
iured while trying &c force her way
through the car Window which fell pp-
on her. Both she and Mr. Rollins
We're able to 20 10 their homes by
trolley after they received medical
attention
The work train was sent up from
Putnam to clear the track as much
as possible The New London boat
train was sent around by the wav Of
East Thompson and arrived in Put
nam aftea f0 o'clock. The damaged
car was removed during the night by
a wrecking crew.
Greatly exaggerated reports ran
through the crowd Of Welcome Home
Day celetfators in Putnam and a
number Of automobile parties went
up to see what damage was done
Putnam patriot., 1919-09-05

The Crowd Gathers

People were gathering all the morn
ing Al noon the crowd was assem-
bling on the mnin streets to see every
feature of the big parade, which was
the great attraction Of the days pro-
gram It was a lively scene. At half
past one the various units began 60
arrive and take up the stations as
SIGNED to them The marshal and his
aides were anxiously seeing that ev-

to march was given. Bends played
and the ffe and drum corps marched

TROLLEY TROUBLE
THREATENED
Police Notified to Be on Guard
Against Disturbance
Nothing Much Happened But Officers
Were On the Job

After the common council meeting
Tuesday evening Captain Bulger was
notified from the Office Of the Shore
Line Company that the south bound
car through Putnam at 1886 had ex-
perienced little unpleasantness by
gang of men or boys and that more
trouble was threatened to the next
north bound car
1t was stated that the scene Of the
trouble was near Mechanics street.
The captain and Patrolmen Laird and
Duffy were taken by Mayor Marcy i'm
his car to the point where it was said
that trouble might be looked for. It
was then learned that Mechanicsville
was the place instead of Mechanics
street. Although out Of their juris-
dietion the officers went to Mechanics
vile, where small group Of people
was seen, but nothing transpired.
The most that can be learned il
that there were boots and Kisses and
possible threats of what would hap
pen to the next car.
Although there has been some trou-
bic along the line in other places it i
not believed that striking employees in
this vicinity have made or even plan
ned to make any trouble for the men
now running the cars.

RESIDED HERE
70 YEARS
Miss Patience Battey Died At
Her Home Sunday Night
Would Have Been 81 Years Old This
Month.-Came Here AT Age of
Two Years.

Miss Patience Battey, who would
have been eighty-two years old the
26th of this month, died at the Bat
tey home on the north end of Church
street Sunday evening.
Miss Battey was born in Killingly
September Goth, 1882, daughter OF
Nathaniel and Ada (Hopkins) Bat
tey. Her parents removed TO Putnam
when she wasy but two years old and
she attended school in little build
ing that is now house near the old
Methodist church on Main street. In
her early life she worked in the mill
as did all Of the boys and girls of that
early period. For the past twenty
five years she has kept house for her
brother, Ashael Battey, in Putnam,
and for five years has never left the
premises.
The house in which she has lived
all of these years is 1913 years old and
the ell OF the house is 200 years old.
Miss Battey leaves her brother and
two sisters, Mrs. Lucinda Dexter and
Miss susanna Battey; also a nephew,
Lewis Battey, all living together on
the old homestead. Miss Battey was
member of the Methodist church
and had been teacher in the Sunday
school.
The funeral was held from ths
home at 2 o'clock Wednesday after
noon, Rev. s. ]. A. Rock of the Meth

minds and they were willing to $50 To
the extreme lmit-the supreme sac
riiiee-if necessary as loyal Ameri-
cans UNFOLDING the traditions of this
glorious. free country.
Mondays celebration was for the
purpose Of Welcoming them home. It
was a time Of Joy. 1t was a day of JOY
as it was recalled that the sacrifices
had not been IN vain. There was a
thought of sadness when il was re-
memhered that there were those who
were not in the line Of mareh~~those
who lay under the sod of foreign
shores, having been called upon to
give their lives in the great struggle.
But such are the fortunes Of war.
Such was to be anticipated and ex-
pected and il is with heartfelt thanks
giving that the citizens of Putnam
realize that the toll.of its young men
was small; small indeed compared to
many Of our sister cities of the state,
where many gold stars are shining
forth from honor roll or service flag
Putnam might well rejoice on this
great historic day, and Putnam did re-
joiee and was gay even to games and
dancing.
II was for those who returned that
the Welcome Home was given and for
those who did not come back it might
be said, knowing their brave hearts.
that they would have had it So The
spirit of the American soldier who
asks that the eomrade who can live be
given the first attention on the battle
field. So. we may safely say, the
American soldier would say: do not
let our absence mar this joyous oc-
easion. Give our comrades the first
thought and see to THEN happiness.

Highest Praise Bestowed

Those who did come might well be
the most unbiased judges Of the way
that Putnam celebrated Right here
il miaAt be said that one man who
stated that he had attended eelebra-
lions wherever held in the state, told
our people that nowhere had he seen
anything to equal this eity's observ-
anee. Everyone spoke in the highest
praise Of the big event, 1t is hard to
estimate the number who saw the big
parade, as they were scattered out
over a line of march nearly four miles
long. 1t was large crowd, and pos
sihly twenty thousand people witness
ed the spectacle somewhere along the
line Of march, Many saw it several
times,
