fcy the ice-men and attempting: to run
-across the street, stepped in- front of

without avail, for the little fellow -was
. knocked down by the radiator and
hurled under the ponderous machine,
th car passing' over his frail body.

i to .-the equine. The animal sustained
-a broken, leg, following which he was

Because of the numerous narrow

to follow suit? .
Something has got to be done for
daily the children' play In the ' streets.
It is nothing short of miraculous that
j there are not more accidents or deaths
j recorded, as the boys and girls do not
leeem to heed the speeding autos, the
trolleys or the frisky horses. Those

have wondered long that there are
not more accidents of the nature of
the mishap Thursday. The boys, and
even the girls, catch a "hookie" get

Tight and often directly in the path
of some other vehicle as the unfortu
nate Carusonl boy did. If a a question
that not only the parents of the chil
dren have to heed, but one which the
town authorities will soon have to
deal with even to imposing a penalty
for playing In the streets.
(Special to The Farmer.)
Stratford, Aug. 9. "It's Just the old
story of trying to make a mountain
out of a mole hill, endeavoring to mace
a story i out of nothing," said Judge
Charles H. Peck to a Farmer reporter I
last evening in speaking of the accu
sation brought against him that he was
trying, to get some 'graft' out- of the I
late Mrs. Jeannette Hallock, who died 1
at the Bridgeport hospital on June 28,
& victim of "kidney trouble."
As is generally the case there proves I
to be two sides to the- story and' from
the way the Judge spoke to the repor
ter .last .-night, he is innocent of any
wrong doing or attempt at wrong do
ing In the case, , In fact not only is he
to all appearances guiltless, of the
charges brought against him by. his
enemies, but he was perfectly right In
proceeding in the case as fee did and
is backed up by the law of the state..
The Judge is accused of endorsing ;a
bill for expenses of a trial that was
never held In the town. Although the i
story w'hlch was circulated around the
town was to the effect that the Judge
had tried to collect money for the trial
which was never held, he stoutly de
nies this and i the , records show that
