caused the accidents, and 1t is also alleged in both cases that the drivers failed to sound their horns and did not take reasonable care.

The girl died the next day. It is charged that OLeary did not take any reasonable precautions in backing up, and that his reverse speed was too great in view of con. ditions. The suit is brought through Attorney A. J. Rich of Bristol.
 Tn the sturdevant suit, is Is charged that the girls abdomen was crushed when she was pinned against 6 wall on East Hawkins street January 6, 1886, while @ truck owned by Goldman and operated by John Johnson, Jr., was backed up 50 that It's rear end protruded over the sidewalk.

VICTORY PLANS
 PROCEED HERE
No Objections Raised to Proposed Celebration
 By Italian Units

While protests have been voiced in other cities of the state of Con- necticut against Q public demon stration celebrating the successful outcome of the Iailian conquest in Ethiopia, no adverse opinion has been registered to such a celebra- ton locally. Plans are underway by the local Italians to have patriotic rally of Italians and Itallan-Amer- jeans in formal observance of the victory of the Otalo-Eritrean ftrces.
 The local Federation of Italian Societies and Clubs will announce plans for a celebration in Waterbury shortly. John DePartino, head of the federation here. is working with other representatives of Italian soc cieties formulating c program tint will be one of the outstanding of its kind ever registered in Water bury history.
 Collections Co similar victory cele- brati0ns are being registered in oth- er cities of Connecticut.

RETURN FROM ENJOYABLE
VACATION IN MANITOBA

Robert A. Vickers, senior editor
of the Hardin Tribune Herald,
accompanied by Mrs. Vickers and
his brother, George D. Vickers
and wife of lnglewood. Calf, who
have been visiting the Vickers
clan in Hardin. returned last FRI
day from a two weeks motor trip
to Manitoba, Canada. Passing
thru North Dakota, going and com
ing, the weather was oppressively
hot, but was comfortably cool
during their stay in Canada.
They spent most of the time
at Winnipeg, house guests of
their cousin, Herbert BorreIl, as
sistant building inspector the past
twenty years for the city of Win
nipeg, and Mrs. Borrell, who Wis
tied the VickeIS' here a few years
ago.
With their hosts, they also Wis
tied two other cousins, Richard T.
and Miss Rebecca Borrell at Nor
gate, $50 miles northwest of Win
nipeg, who reside on a farm a
couple of miles from the eastern
boundary of Riding Mountain Ma
tional Park. With their cousins,
they spent one day in this pleas
ure resort, the center of attrac-
ton of which is Clear lake, a
large body of clear water on which
boating and surf bathing is a fav-
orite pastime of tourists. The
park is heavily timbered and In
many respects is as wonderful as
our own Yellowstone National
Park, saw for lack of geysers.
One day was spent in surf bath
ing at Winnipeg Beach on Lake
Winnipeg, so miles northwest of
Winnipeg city, which is the larg-
est body of water in Canada, be-
ing 800 miles in length and about
IS miles across in it's widest part.
The Red river of the famous Red
River valley flows north from
Minnesota through the city of
Winnipeg and into this lake. In
this valley, the farther north one
goes, crops are better, being fair
to good in Manitoba.
Along the western border of
Minnesota, to a point about fifty
miles south of the Canadian line,
and in the extreme northeastern
part of North Dakota, there are
fair to middling crous. Corn is
short, but has a good color, and
bids to make a partial yield. Many
crews were busy threshino wheat.
There are thousands of acres of
potatoes which look good from the
highway.
From Fargo, N. D., westward to
the Yellowstone river in Montana,
the country has a desert-like ap-
oearance-no crops and many Of
the small lakes which abound in
that country are little more than
puddles of mud, the dry, hot
weather having sapped nearly all
the moisture. Despite the drought
which Big Horn county has gone
through this year, there are bright
spots in the irrigated valleys which
makes this country seem like a
paradise in comparison.
