James Ryan of Bristol, conductor on the Bristol and plainville Tram way, who is we'll known to a great number of the townspeople, suffered a painful fracture of the right leg late yesterday afternoon. The accident was a most peculiar one. Mir. Ryan has been suffering for the past few months with neuritis which has ne- cessitated his using a cane. He spent yesterday afternoon lying across his bed in the sun and towards evening he arose to go to the bathroom. While there, he went to shut a window and in the act of so doing he bent his body slightly backwards, and his leg snapped under him. The fact that the break was not caused by fall of any sort makes the affair one of the strangest ever heard of here. He was taken to the Bristol hospital for treatment.
