Peculiar Accident
One of the most peculiar accidents
that has been witnessed here in some
time happened last evening In the
| center, when William Kilby of West
Queen street, Southington, was run
over by an automobile driven by
Charles H. Newton of Plainville. Mr..
Newton was driving at a slow rate of
speed through the center and had
lust passed the silent policeman"
when Kilby ran out from the street
to the automobile drivers left. He
slipped and fell in the path of the
car, but Mr.. Newton, jamming on the
brakes, came to stop without hitting
him.
Kilby started to rise, but before he
got to his feet, a trolley car which
was coming to a stop, struck the back
of Mr.. Newton's automobile and drove
it ahead six feet, and in so doing, the
front wheel ran over Kilby's leg Mr..
Newton and several passersby carried
kilby into Prior's drug store in Neri's
block, but he protested that he was
uninjured and left the store and
boarded the trolley bound for South
ington.
Mr.. Newton also got on the trolley
and insisted that Kilby go to doctor.
He finally assented and was examined
by DR.. j. G. Tanner, who found that
only slight bruises we're sustained in
the accident. Witnesses stated this
morning that in their opinion no one
was to blame for the affair, because
the strange circumstances could not
be attributed to the carelessness of
any individual.

rested two truck drivers yesterday |
afternoon east Of the East Main street
railroad crossing on the charge of
carrying load in excess of the
weight allowed by law. The cases

on the lookout for law violators.

0 o'clock before the first train was
