WHILE ON ERRAND
TO A NEIGHBOR'S
Became Entangled in Har-
ness and Was Dragged
Back to Barn

LOIS, aged s years, the younger
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Elgin Martin
OF Plainfield, was trampled to death by
horse from which she had become un-
seated during ride to the house of a
nelghbor on an errand yesterday, the
horse coming home dragging the little
body ~entangled in the reins.
The horse, which was an old animal
and apparently afraid of nothing, had
been ridden by the girl many times;
so there was no hint of danger yester-
day when the girl was placed ON the
back OF the animal and sent to the
neighbor's. The horse was harnessed.
So far as known, no one saw the ac.
cident and therefore, the cause is not
certain; but it is believed that the lit
tie girl was thrown by sudden move
ment OF the horse and in falling was
caught in the reins, going under the
animal and being stepped on as she
was dragged over the ground to the
barn, where she was found, There
were marks of the horses hoofs on the
body and on the head.
Drs Corson and Wheeler were
called in attendance but they could do
nothing, as the child died in short
lime.
The accident cast gloom over
and the sympathy of many
people has been extended to the par
'nts. There is one other girl in the
amily, somewhat older than Lois.
Arrangements have been made for

Would Be at Least S15,ooo,o 1000.

New Haven, Conn, Aug. 2S.--Attacl
on Republican campaign contribution
was renewed yesterday by Governor
James M. Cox, Democratic presidential
candidate, in number of addresses
opening his New England campaign.
That he had proven his charges in
his Pittsburgh address Thursday night
of the assembling of $4,000, 900 cor
ruption fund" by the Republicans was
asserted.by Governor Cox and he also
| declared he would continue rubbing
that sore spot" until election day. He
withheld, however, any further evi
dence in support of his charges.
The first "break in the Republican
line" Governor Cox declared during
the course of four speeches here, was
the Republican proposal for separate
peace with Germany.
"rhe second break in the lines came
last night at Pittsburgh" he contin-
ued. "They have been going along
gathering the largest campaign fund
ever known in the history of govern.
mcnt in the world. No one ever
dreamed of getting such sum. This
year the chairman of the Republican
committee has set to work
a great force of men, state chairmen,
local chairmen and workers that he !
as the money diggers' of |
the Republican party"
Governor Cox stated that VIII r. |
Hays, Republican national chairman,
had denied the charges of $4,000.
900 fund and declared that the fund |
would be only S3,0O0,000, while few
lays later, the governor said, Fred
W. Upham, Republican treasurer,
multiplied Mr.. Hays by two and one
lalf times by stating that the fund
would be s7.dOo,00o.
"In my Pittsburgh speech last
hight" the candidate added, Il have
demonstrated to the satisfaction of ev-
ry unprejudiced voter in the coun-
ry that we were justified in multi
living Mr.. Upham's figures by two"
Il repeat that the Republican fund
the corruption fund---will be not less
han sl5,000,000. We will not at. {
empt to match their dollars"
Governor Cox also made state {

ial of bis charges After reading a q
tatement from Mr. Upham that the ,

Warden Buck in his report.

observation and contact with these

Steele Extradition Case

County Attorney Withee after a
telephone conversation with Assis
tant Attorney General Corcoran OF
Massachusetts over the telephone
feels very hopeful that the efforts
that are being made by the county
authorities to extradite Clifford c.
Steele of Stoneham. Mass, who has
been indicted in this county in con-
nection with alleged fraudulent
check transactions in the purchase of
cattle from farmers, will be success
full. 1t will be remembered that in
connection with the effort following
the last session of the grand jury
to secure the return of Steele in
Maine, Steele's council claimed that
his client was not a fugitive from
justice and filed brief supporting
his contention. A brief in reply was
filed by County Attorney Withee.
In case the Governor Of Massachu-
sets sees fit to honor the requisition
from the Governor of the State it is
then possible that habeas corpus
proceedings will take place at Wo-
burn in the 4th District court of
Eastern Massachusetts. So that
while Mr.. Withee feels hopeful of
the ultimate bringing of Steele to
Maine it is uncertain whether the
matter will be brought to a head in
time for the January term of court,
