 was about to strike the child. the driver turned his machine into an embsnkment. and damaged it so that 1t was necessary | to have 1t towed into Putnam. It was l this act that saved the child from in- 1 jury. To be certain that no harm had been done, the child was brought to

 1 Knocked from . scafoId on which he
 was standing while loading hay into his barn, William Maheu of Thompson fell | 20 feet to the bottom of silo. striking ] on the stone floor. He was brought to l the Day Kimball hospital in Putnam in 1 the ambulance, and Friday afternoon 1t

 farm is located on Brandy hill road, not

 At the Aurust meeting of Putnam city
 council 1t was voted to have put in re.
 pair all sidewalks throughout the city
 that are in bad condition, and to which
 the owners, after notice from the city
 have failed to give attention. Eugene
 Dumas appeared before the council anc
 called attention to the fact that in some
 places the walks are badly out of re 4,|
 that some people are deliberately side 1 stepping in this matter. There may, O
 course, be some that can't do the re . pairing I feel that those who are de liberately putting the thing of, ant trusting that the city will overlook 1t
 should be made to fix their walks, ant if they don't do 1t, the city should ant then collect, as 1t has the legal right t
 do. There Is one spot on main stree that I know of which has had no at
 tention in two years in spite of the fac that there Is a large hole in the walk. The council members agreed with MT Dumas. and on motion of Alderman John G. Johnson 1t was voted to hav the city proceed to repair walks wher this is necessary, and the highway com mittee was authorized to see that 1t | done.
