 Last night there were red danger lights burning in First avenue over back of Fair Haven Heights, near the railroad station and there was need for them. During yesterday two teams got mired in the mud in that roadway and 1t was necessary to get rescue brl- gade to get them out. Ralph Davis, milk dealer, drove through there In the morning and found the roadway pretty treacherous. Where the New Haven Water company had filled in after ex- cavating, the soil is soft and the heavy rain made it almost of the consistency of nasty pudding. The Davis horse sank down four feet in the mud and the hubs of the wagon went out of sight. 1 Rescuers who assisted Davls in getting his team out, were covered in mud | from head to foot. A little later, a second team was almost buried up in mud, and was rescued with difficulty. And that's why the red lights were burning last night.
