WINSTED, Jan. 7.:—The plant of
the Winsted Edge Tool Works at the
corner of Lake and Meadow streets
had a $25,000 fire yesterday evening
in the welding and grinding depart-
ments. As a result, 100 men will
be thrown out of employment.” The
loss is practically covered by in-
suranaie. The roof of the forging
room Was discovered ablaze at 8:2s
o‘clOck and the alarm went in~t‘rom
Box 45. The _qulck arrival of firemen
prevented the burning of the Winsted
silk Company plant nearby. The
burned section, rebuilt in 1900 after
a disastrous fire which closed the
plant sixty days, was partly of brick
and partly of frame construction, was
237 by 40 feet, and was thoroughly
oil soaked. A brick fire‘ wall pre1
vented the flames from reaching a
two story wooden building used as the
packing and polishing department.
Bursting hose added to the difficulties
of the firemen.
The company was established De
camber 18, 1865. by Thomas M. Clark
as the Winsted Hoe Company. Arthur
L; Clark now is president. and man-
ager. Harvey L Roberts is vice-presi-
ont, and Joseph A. Norton. "secre-
ry: The plant will be rebuilt.

A suit was filed in the United States
District Court yesterday to enjoin the
Selig Polyscope, Inc.. of Chicago, from
producing the moving picture dramati-
zation of'Rex Beach‘s "The Ne'er Do
Well." The plaintiffs in the suit are
the executor and executrix of the es-
tate of Charles Klein, who was lost
on the Lusitania. They name Rex
Beach as a codefcndant with the Selig
Polyscope Company. ‘
it is alleged in the complaint that
Beach on November 17, 1911, entered
into an agreement with Klein to give
the latter the sole right to dramatize
"The Ne’er Do Well" and that in via
latlon of this agreement the novelist
some time before April 10, 1915. made
a second contract with the Selig peo-
‘ple giving them the dramatization
rights. The plaintiffs ask for an ac-
counting of damages as well as an to-
junction.

Lieu-Did Branchvillc Boy Rs-

—_—_.——
After taking a drink of ammonia yes-
terday morning from a bottle he founu
near the yard of his home, Reno Man
not, a fonrteen-year~old Branchvllle
boy, came as near to dying as it is
thought he possibly could and still
survive. After drinking the liquid
the child fell to the ground and was
seized with a series of violent spasms.
Persons in the vicinity ran to his aid.
Luckily a train was just leaving
Branchvllie. for Ridgetleld, the near-
est piace where a physician could be
secured, and the boy was placed
aboard.
Before the train arrived in Ridge-
field the lad, who had become on
haunted from the spasms lost con-
clousness and lay inert. Those who
companled him from Brnnchville
thought he was dead. When the train
reached the midgefleld station young

it was believed the trip to Ridgefield
to secure medical old had been in

(Dr. R. 1D. Lowe, of Ridgsfield, had
previously been notified of the case
and he met the train. The child was
rushed in the physician’s automobile
to the latter’s offices where Dr. Lowe
resorted to heroic measures to save
his life. After working over young

The suit in New York is a result..
It will be remembered that the news-
