Four. Carpenters Fell This
Morning at Selleck liver-
Ipok Military and Naval
Academy in East Avenue—-
Fortunately Ilene Seriously
Hurt
By, the breaking of a scaffolding at
the Selleck School buildings in East
, avenue, shortly before 9 o'clock this
morning. four carpenters were badly
hurt. The injured men fell a dis-
tance of about twenty feet, and though
" suffering severely from confusions,
bruises and strains, it is believed that
all will recover. The injured men
are:
Thomas S. Osborn, contractor and
builder, 23 'Mcrwin street.
Summerfleid 'i‘ooker, carpenter, 31
Second avenue East Norwalk.
George Carter. carpenter 84 Main
street.
Josiah W. Britto, carpenter, 11 High
street, Norwalk,
A hurried call for physicians was
sent out and within a few minutes Dr.
Waiter Hitchcock and Dr. William J.
Tracey were on the scene of the acci-
dent attending to the wounds of the
sufferers. A cursory examination fail-
ed to reveal any broken bones, ex-
cept in the case of Mr. Osborn, whose
left foot showed evidences of a broken
bone below the ankle.
All of the men were suffering in-
tense pain consequent to their full
and complained especially of injuries
to their backs. A restorative was sc~
cured and though all of the sufferers
felt very faint, none lost conscious-
ness. After their injuries had been
temporarily attended to by the phy-
eocians, they were taken home In a
coach.
Mr. Britfo was the only one of the
four sustaining a bi . wound. in
falling his head ”rub a stone wall
and he receivad a gash in the scalp.
Notwithstanding his contact with the
wall, he was apparently the least in-
jured ol’ the four. Hie neck and back
hurt him but he was able to walk to
the coach.
All of his three companions had to
be assisted info It Mr. Carter com-
plained especially of the pain at the
back of his neck and In his hip. He
could not walk without assistance.
Mr. 'l‘ookcr's injuries were apparently
of the same character, and he felt
badly all over, the pain seemingly in-
creasing as he was placed in the
coach. Mr. Osborn lay stretched ,out
on the grass, but upon the arrival of
the coach, hc pluckiiy crawled to the
door and was lifted in As In the case
of the offiiers he had severe pains in
the back it Is believed that the men
will be laid up for some time. b
At the time of the unfortunate ac-
cident, the four carpenters were at
work shingling the east side of the
roof ‘cf the gymnasium. bowling alley
and shooting gallery. They had by
some chance congrqtatod at one end
of the min scaffold and the heavy
strain caused one of the brackets tas-
tened to the side of the building, to
break. It all happened so suddenly
that the men. hardly realized what
had occurred until they found them-
selves lying on the unrelenting
ground.
Henry Briggs, who was at work
nearby, was the only eye witness to
the accident. He said later:
“i was picking up shingles under
that tree. when hearing a noise, I
happened so look up and the first
thing I knew they were all stretched
out there on the ground In the same
order they had been standing on the
scaffold"
Mr Osborn stated that one of the
braces had broken and said:
“We are all heavy men and when
We all got close together, It broke and
let us fall "
There was considerable consterns‘
ticn on the part of those working
about the place. when the four men
were seen stretched out, and at list
It was thought that some of them had
been killed.
A small boy run down to Wall
street and meeting Police Sergeant
Thomas liuiil asked him to quickly
send for the ambulance. The officer.
Instead, mounted a bicycle and was
soon on the scene assisting In the care
of the injured men while they were
waiting for ..c physicians. The Rev.
Charles M. Sollcck who was on the
premises at the limo. wits also soon
on hand assisting.

Read Something. but Pres-
ents a Bigger Bill ‘
Sometimes small cases work into
the civil common pleas court with a
big batch of papers and all sorts of
things figuring in the pleadings. In
an action brought by Walter W. Read
against Carrie Adams to recover for
rent. a farm, a burn, a big "buff
rock roosters,” eggs, children. a well
and a few more things figure in the
pleadings.
The plaintiff asked for 375 dam-
ages, footed up $66.25 in his bill of
particulars and secured judgment for
$55, with $12.69 costs. from Justice
of Peace William K. J. Hubbell. From
this ruling the defendant appeals and
so'the case comes to the civil common
pleas court for review. All the parties.
live In Wilton.
Along back in April, 1904, Mrs.
Adams rented a farm of the plaintiff
In Wilton and proceeded to open a
baby farm. She was to pay rent at
the rate of 88.25 a month. She seems
to have paid 816.25 of the $82.60
which was due, leaving a balance due
according to the complaint of $06.25.
Mrs. Adams' defense and counter
claim In unique. She admits owing
$57.75, but has numerous offsets by
way of counter claim. She says that
when she agreed to hire the farm the
plaintiff promised to fix the barn.
clean out the well and plaster up the
holes in the cellar wall. Not one of
these things was done. so it Is al-
leged.
As the result of this failure to keep
agreement quite a good deal hap-
pened. In the first place Mrs. Adams
had to pay $31.99 to fix up the barn.
Then the many little children had to
have fresh water, so she was obliged
to hire a man at 15 cents a day for
276 days to haul drinkable water for
the babies.
The failure to fix up the, cellar
caused much damage. Four barrels of
fine apples. one barrel of good pota-
toes and eight jars of nice preserves
were ruined by the frost which work-
ed in through-the holes In the wall.
The apples were worth 88, the pota-
toes 52.40 and the preserves 32. Be-
sides all that Mrs. Weed had to spend
so more for fuel because of the cold
blasts which meandcrcd around the
cellar.
Lastly Mrs. Adams says she sold
to the plaintiff 75 eggs. reasonably
worth two cents each and one "big
buff rock rooster. with a market vai-
uo of S2." The sum total of these
damages, together with a little for
annoyances ls $100. All of which
Mrs. Adams asks for, or so much of
it as she is entitled to over and above
what is due for rent. although she
thinks there ought not to be any-
thing duo in view of the frozen apples
and potatoes and the ruined preserves
Mr. Read deities all the, allegations
of the counter claim and “acorns the
allegator."

der Arrest
M—
Judge A. Heston Robertson. of New
Haven, Democratic candidate last year
for governor, was a passenger In an
automobile, the chauffeur of which. J.
H. Stiliwagen. a Frenchman, was ar-
rested in Wall street, yesterday after-
noon by Officer Bryan H. Silk, on a
charge of exceeding the speed limit.
The machine, a fifteen horse power
Panbard. contained In addition to the
former candidate for gubernatorial
honors and the driver. the owner of
the car. E. A. Manice, of New York,
a lady and a New Haven physician.
At the time of the arrest, they were
enroute from New Haven to New York
City. Mr. Manlce put up a bond of
$100 for the appearance of his chauf-
feur before the court today. Stillwa-
gen appeared promptly on time and
pleaded not guilty. As a result, the
case was continued until 9 o'clock
Thursday morning In ordei that wit
access may be secured by the prosecu-
tion.
Stillwagen professed great surprise.
this morning, that he had been appre-
hended by the officer. He said:
"I was driving along no faster than I
go all around New York city. I wasn't
going ten miles an hour. I pulled up
in front of the policeman and asked
him which road to New York. He re-
plied. “I'll show you the road to the
police ,sistion, you are under arrest."
Officer Silk took the time of the car
for a distance of 100 yards from the
Wall street tunnel in the direction of
the Methodist church. His stop watch
indicated that the machine was travel.
lug about. 22 or 23 miles per hour.
When the motorists reached him, he
stepped out Into the road to stop them.
It is probable that there will be an in-
teresting trial when the case comes
up, as there will be several witnesses
on bothsldos of the case. This will be
the iirst Instance there has been any
pt to controvcrt the charges
c. by Officer Silk since he has been
at Work on the automobile beat He
b ’ marshailed a formidable array of
wt cases to support his claim.
‘ At the police station yesterday. Mr.
Manlce claimed that he was not going
more than eight miles an hour.
Officer Silk states that when be con.
duc, [C d the party back into Wall street.
the chauffeur quickly put on power
and started off at. a lively pace. The
policeman shouted to him a second
admonition that he was undei arrest
and the man then brought the car
back to the Water street police sta-
tion at a ieasonable rate of speed.
It is stated that. since the speed sta—
tute has been enforced on nest ave-
nue. a large number of automobillsts
who have occasion to pass through
Norwalk, go by way of East avenue.

the time of the collision. only one life
was lost. Miss Mamie Kelley. 27 years
old. residence unknOwn, was missing
wgmn the roll of passengers Was call-
e .
The scene of the collision'was about
a mile and a half southeast of Pollock
Rip Shoals Lightship. Although the
accident happened at 1:30 o'clock yore
terday morning and at a point only
33 miles distant from this port. the
survivors did not arrive here until
early today, the thick fog which pro
veiled necessitates slow navigation
Although no official report has yet
been made. it Is knowa that the disas-
ter was due to the fog.
