in Spring Street, Early Sun-
day Morning .
John Wesley Dake, clerk in the of-
fice of the South Norwalk Water Com-
missioners, met with a very painful
accident yesterday morning about 6
o'clock, and it was the met-est chance
that he was not killed outright, in-
stead of sustaining a broken leg and a
severely cut head.
, Repairs were being made to the
water main In Spring street, and Mr.
Duke was between the foot of Hamil-
ton nvcnue hill alld State street. willie
Louis Vonezia. another omploye of the
water department, was at tho hydrant
ill Ely avenue. During the making
of the repairs the pipes became fillcd
with air. and caused a high pressure
when the water was turned Into the
pipes again.
Mr. Duke stood in front of the hy-t
drallt he was opening for the purpose
of allowing the air and foul water to
est-spit lie llitd partly unscrewed tho
hydrant cap and then turllcd on the
water. Tl]? prcssurc was so great
that the tltrcnd on the Inside of the.
cup was stripped and the chain brok-
en. The trail cap. which weighs sev-
eral pounds shot out like a cannon
bull, striking Mr. Duke just above the
ankle. breaking his leg. ‘
The force of water swept him almost
across the street and knocked him
down. His head probably struck a
stone. causing a severe scalp wound.
Mr. chezia, who was flushing the.
hydrant Ill Ely avenue, was awaiting
the return of Mr. Duke. anti as an un-
reasonable manual of time elapsed he
sent his nephew, Bartholomew Vene-
zln. to ascertain the cause of the
trouble. The boy soon came running
back. with the statement that Mr.
Dakc had been hurt. Mr. Voneziu
hurried down. and found Mr. Duke sit-
ting ar. the side of the road, with a
brokcn ankle. Word was at once sent
