A porullur freight wreck occurred
directly in front of the east bound
railroad station this morning shortly
-afler seven o'clock. A freight train
had been cutting out some cars for
the local freight yard. and in backing
up a little too fast caused the trouble.
One gondola car buckled and started
to climb up on top of another. The
rear end remained on the trucks, but
the forward end mounted the other
car, scraping off the forward trucks
in doing so. Both sets of trucks, how-

wrecking train was secured and the
damage speedily repaired.
The peculiar part of the affair was

‘ Miss, Asks To Be Locked Up
DANBURY. April 9.-—“I’m s vagrant
and I.waut to be sent to jail. it's your
business to send me to jail, if I say I’m
a vagrant.”
That's the way Clara Fisher. of New
Canaan talked to Police Captain Brad-
ley last night through the bars of her
cell in the police station. The police
are greatly mystified. Miss Fisher is
apparently about 19 years of age. good
looking, attractive. fairly well dressed
and intelligent in appearanca and ac
tlons—with the exception of her tie»
mood to be sent. to jail. .
She presented herself at the station
during the absence of the captain and
said that she wanted to be locked up
because she had no place to sleep.
When the captain came in he suggest
ed that she be sent to a lodging house
where she could be made comfortable
for the night. i
"‘No, this is good enough for me until
I can be sent to jail." she replied.
Tile case was a puzzler for Police
Court Judge John R. Booth this morn-
ing. but when the girl pleaded guilty
to a charge of vagrancy he said. “six-
ty days in the Danbury jail." The girl
seemedpieased with the sentence. She
said she had lived with an uncle in
New Canaan. but the police conlt not
get in communication with him.
, She said she would rather live in
jail than with her friends.

practical view of the situation, got
supper ready and put the children to
bed. He is unable to take daily care
at the children, and is therefore trying
