Thorburn’s troubles-began when the red globe on the tail light of his truck was smashed, They seemed to be solved, as far as he could see, when he came across a barrier with two red lanterns on it at the tannery on North Main street where road work is in progress. He appropri- ated one of the red lanterns, attached jt to the rear of his machine and sped on his way on the Jewett City road to- wards Providence. But the tannery watchman had seen the seuck driver taking the red lantern and promptly telephoned In to police headquarters, from which Capt. D. J. Twomey matched Officers P. Murphy and Myron Morzan in the auto police pa- trol with orders to catch the truck. There has been much trowble over brok- en lanterns and lanterns disabpearing from the North Main street road work so that this seemea like a good chance to catch a trouble maker in the dct. The truck had a start of about 15 minutes on the police patrol, but Officer Murphy fairly burned up the road in the pursuit, overtaking and hauling across the road ahead of the truck about a mile from® Jewett City, and ordering Thor/ burn to drive back to police headquar- ere he was-ordered to appear in the city court this (Friday) morning. He left the tru@k as a bond for his an- pearance. Thorburn exvlained that he | had no intentfon of stealing the red lan- tern but thought he was protectingz the public better by having a redslight on the rear of his own machine rather than if he drove on without one.
