Wilson of North street, out for his first spin in a newly purchased car, was on his way from this city near the bottling works at North Windham, and met a car with the Connecticut number 31479, said to be owned by a Hartford party, and E. F. hittemore of this city in his machide coming toward Willimantic in that order. In some way Mr. Wilson lost control of his ear and tvrned sharply, striking the rear wheel of the Hartford machine. His car was turned about directly in front of the Whittemore automobile, which hit Wilson's_car with considerkble force. Mr: Wilsge and a young man who was with hm were thrown out, the fcymer falling underneath the ma- chine. Beyond a few bruises, however, they were uninjured. Mrs. Whittemore, who was with her husband, was slight- 1y brulsed by being thrown forward in thelr car. The two forward wheels of the Wilson car were shattered and the front_axle of the Whittemore machine was broken. Both cars were @fought to a local garage for repairs: The Hartford man’s machine was damaged slightly. Mr. Wilson stated after the accident that he was at fault and of- fored to pay for all repairs. \ News in General. Mrs. H E. F.
