John Slady, of Stratford avenue. who was going only about miles an hour, came very near meet ing with a serious mishap on Monday night at this particular epot. on his return from a business trip to West port He was running an Overland and the report in town was that has machine climbed an elm tree and was knocked all to pieces. The damage really amounted to about s. Yester- day afternoon another large touring car skidded at the same place, and came very near running into a tree near the residence of Miss Kippen. Fortunately the machine was going at a moderate pace. and was well under control. It turned crossways of the road, and was backed away from the tree. The reason given for these eccentric movements is the fact that the street has been oiled and the re- cent rains have made it slippery.

 There was a report in town yester- day to the effect that a large num- ber of young men came out on Mon- day evening from Bridgeport, looking for trouble. The origin of the difficul- ty is said to have had its inception on Thursday evening, when a trolley car of young folks returning to town from a dance, was assaulted at library corner with various missiles. The Bridgeporters did not find any boys on the street, as this is well be- haved town, and no fracas was pulled off.
