Norwich bulletin., 1920-09-13

hold meeting this week to name an Independent ticket. Just what this will amount to remains to be seen. Killing ly always has had a strong force of in dependent voters and at times they have upset the republican and democratic campaign plans. This year these voters are getting very itchy over purely local affairs and are seeking to perfect an organization, lacking which their strength will not amount to much. If any independent ticket is named, it was said Sunday, this ticket will carry the names of some Of the nlcn now on the republican and democratic lists of nomi- nees for town offices, but will aim to tie the tin can of political defeat on the tails of the kites Of some office holders who are holding on to their jobs because no real organized drive has ever been made against them. Verify, the town election promises to afford something more than the mere perfunctory pro- ceedng of going to the polls and drop ping a ballot in a box.
 Another instance of the cowardIy and cruel practice of some automobilists in 1 leaving person to suffer agony or even die after running one down with ma chine. came to light at daylight. Sunday i morning when Uric Thibearleau, E man past middle age, was found lying at the side of the state highway leading to Wauregan and just beyond where a side road turns off to Quinebaug lake. IhIbeaudeau had a compound fracture of the leg. a slight cut on the head and 1 was otherwise suffering from exposure attendant upon being allowed to lie in 1 the road under a pouring rain for De 1 iod of several hours The mans blight was first learned of here at 6 a. m.. , when Chief John Mcfarland received a telephone call from some person talking | rom what is known as the Daniel Ship pee farm. at the Killingly line. | Chief Mcfarland immediately got in 1 touch with C. H. Pellett and they went
 to the scene and brought the injured ! man 10 the office of Dr. w II Judson
 here. later removing him to the Day
 himball hospital at Putnam.
 Thibeaudeau was unable to tell any l thing that would aid in establishing the
 identity of the persons in the machine | that hit him, bus that these inhuman
 reVeiers knew that their machine had
 struck man and mayhap killed him, is
 sttested by Thibeaudeau's statement to | Chief Mcfarland that q heard one of ! the women in the car scream and say My God, you've hit a nanr" Never 1 theless the car did not stop and Thi-
 beaudeau was left 10 his fate As near
 as can be established the accident must
 have occurred some time between 2 and , a. m. If other cars passed the point where Thibeaudeau lay between that
 time and just before 6 o'clock. and this
 seems almost a certainty, the occupants
 of them either did not see the injured
 man or paid no attention to him. Thi- 1 5eaudeau was drenched to the skin and
 one of his shoes was filled with blood when Chief Mcfarland and Mir Pellett
 reached his side.
 At the Day KimbaN hospital Sunday
 afternoon 1t was said that Thibeauoeau
 was suffering from exposure as well as
 from his injuries, but hiss condition was
 not regarded as critical
 The man, it was learned. has been | working in the mill at AttawauSan for il number of weeks. He was seen about
