A party of autoists in a Cadillac {ouring car had a narrow escape from being injured late yesterday afternoon. The car, which happened to be a new one, was proceeding at a slow rate of speed along Worthington ridge. The road was wet from a shower. As the car came in front of the sBerlin post cffice the driver endeavored to steer it to one side as he was in the tracks. As he did this thHe vehicle skidded and ran up the steps opposite the Town hall and collided with a large maple tree. Spectators who witnessed the acci- dent thought that the car would turn turtle.

HAVE BRUISES Baby Carriage Causes Machines to Come Together—Injured - Woman will Oficer—Cigar Stump Starts Fire. Recover—Interfered Mrs. Amelia Leopard, a former well known resident of this place, is laid up at her Nome in Farmington with | & broken leg and other injuries of a minor character, the result of an au- tomobile accident which occurred on | the Southington road, near the town line, yesterday afternoon when a ma- | chine in which she was riding turned turtle after locking wheels with .a Packard touring car which attempted to pass it. The occupants of the Leopard car were thrown into the ditch, but with the exception of the aged woman, all escaped serious in- jury. They sustained body bruises, but their hurts did not require the services of & physician. While different versions of the ac- cident have- been given, the stories of all parties concerned agree on one point, the Leopard machine was mov- ing at a slow rate of speed and was on the right side of the road. The other car was owned and driven by a Mr. Hotchkiss of New Haven. It is said that he attempted to pass the Leopard auto when he discovéred a baby carriage on the right side of the highway a short distancé ahead. To avoid hitting the preambulator he swerved too close to Leopard’'s ma- chine and the wheels of both cars be- came locked. The lighter machine was turned over and the occupants, Mrs. Amelia Leopard, her son, Frederick; his brother, Frank W. Leopard; the lat- ter’s wife and their three young chil- dren, were thrown out. The impact was so great, however, that they were hurled clear of the overturning car, .and with the exception of Mrs. Leop- ard landed practically unhurt. The occupdnts of the Hotchkiss car wére not injured. The shock visibly affect- ed Mrs. Hotchkiss and when the auto in which she, was riding came to a stop she fainted. A passing autoist hurried to the office of Dr. J. N. Bull and in a few minutes the physician was on the scene. With the aid of a trained nurse, who was in an auto enroute for New Haven, the doctor gave first ald treatment to Mrs. Leopard and she was subsequently taken to her home. The injured woman is about seventy-five years of age, but it is ex- pected that she will recover. Her leg is fractured in two places near the ankle. The overturned car was badly dam- aged and had to be towed to a garage. Yesterday was a big day for automo- bile travel and nearly fifty machines had collected at the point- where the accident occurred beforé the injured woman was taken away. Interferred With Officer. John Dobrinski paid a fine of $7 and costs Saturday night for inter- ferring with Patrolman Philip Marino in the performanec. of his duty and his ignorance probably saved him from gaing to jail. He had attempt- ed to force the officer to release from custody Mike Soliski, 'a companion, who had been arrested on the charge of intoxication. The policeman was on his way to the lockup with his prisoner when Dobrinski tried to break his hold, permitting Soliski to escape. He not only failed to succeed but was locked up himself. The men were given a hearing be- fore Justice A. H. Condell, Soliski paying a fine of $5 and costs, the court adding a $2 bill to Dobrinski’s assessment for his interference. The latter disclaimed having knowledge that Marino was a paliceman, The officer was not in uniform and the accused denied knowing that he rep- resented the law. Cigar Stump Starts Fire. A, cigar stump, carelessly dropped on the floor, is thought to have caused a fire in Frisbie. & Hemingway's store in the Newton black on West Main street yesterday afternoon. The blaze was discovered in its ihcipiency and was extinguished before any serious damage was done. W. J. Hemingway, aone of the own- ers, had been in the store early in the afternoon and it is believed he unthinkingly dropped a lighted cigar on the floor. The woodwork caught fire after he left the place and the smoke attracted the attention of a passerby, who sounded an alarm. The Hose company made a quick response and the fire was extinguished in' a few minutes. Finds Huge Turtle. " Trolleymen employed by the Con- necticut company are anticipating an invitation. to a banquet with turtle soup as the piece de resistence as a result of the finding of a huge snap- ping turtle this morning by Mator- man James Kenney. The ‘turtle was doing a Charley Chaplin across the tracks near White Oak pond when® Motorman Kenney's car put in appearance. He stopped ‘the car and took on Mr. Turtle for a passenger, later leaving ‘it in Glea. son’s lunch room. The turtle was one of the largest snappers caught here in some time. The motorman’s friends are now waiting word regarding the setting of a date for the banquet which is ex- pected to be a sequel to its capture.
