 Tree Knocked Down.
 One of the maple trees in front of the residence of Francis Deming was run down yesterday by an automobile and bent nearly to the ground. This is the same maple that was run down by one of the Stanley Works trucks several weeks ago. A crew from the shop came down later and straight ened the tree wiring it to another to insure it's growing straight. The ma chine which struck it yesterday broke the retaining wire throwing the tree to it's former position. The machine was being lowed by another, and the driver lost control of the wheel turn ing the car into a big maple, and finishing by knocking the little maple to the ground.
