 Joseph R. HurI ard John McGhes, actors. and both cf Freeport. L. |, were injured Tuesday morning when the Oak land touring car in which they were driving toward Providence skidded and overturned or the slippery state highway ?, short distance east of the children's home on the Chepacilet route, pinn3ng them underneath. Hurl. owner of the car, managed to extricate himself and lifted the car off McGhee's leg, allowing him to crawl out. Persons in a car that came along conveyed the injured, actors to the Day kimball hospital where they received treatment. and afterwards pro- ceeded to Providence. The machine that figured in the acci- dent was not badly damaged though the lenders were crumpled up and the top and windshield broken.
 Within ten minutes after the injured men had left their wrecked machine un- attended, that they might be given hos | pital attention, one of those types of men l that would steal even from a man in | trouble came along and removed a tire l from a front wheel of the wrecked car 1 and got away with it; not however, be- l fore his number was taken by an alert observer and the matter reported to h. l spector Arthur ". Williams of the state | police department, who happened to be 1 in Putnam giving examinations for op- orators licenses.
 l Stealing tires off wrecked machines has come to be regarded among motorists as despicable thieving, and it will be with l pro 'ound joy that the average automobile | owner will watch the courts deal out ius- 1 tice to the thief who is responsible in this particular instance Practica lIy every time a car is wrecked in this yicin-
 
 | unattended for even few minutes Three 1 were stolen. off the sedan of Edward Fisher of this city when it was wrecked 1 a few days ago and left out on Killingly | avenue.
