In the mayors party were Mrs. Buckingham, his two sons, Russell and Edward T. Jr., Mrs. Bucking- hams mother, Mrs. Annie Budau, and MT. and Mrs. John Youngs. MT. Youngs is the proprietor of the Will liam street grocery.
 Mayor Buckingham is limping with a slight sprain of the left ankle. His younger son, Edward T. Jr., aged 4, has a greenstick fracture of the left collarbone.s Mrs. Buckingham has a slight laceration of the lower lip. a gash in the forehead and severe bruises and the other occupants es- capped with sever shaking up.
 All suffered considerably from ex- posture, for it was daybreak before the machines called from this city reached them.
 from this city at 10 yesterday morning to Waterbury and Winsted, and thence to Cornwall Bridge, where Mrs. Buckingham's mother was born. They spent most of the afternoon in that town, and started to return home by way of New Milford, Danbury and Bedding.
 The road where the mishap occur red is narrow, and dovershadowe ed with trees That the mayor was driving cautiously is apparent from the fact that the outcome of the accident was IiO WOISG AS lU0 party OISW away from Putnam Park, south of Bethel, entering the town of Bedding, the machine got beyond the mayors con trol, running down grade-s He felt the car skidding to the right of the narrow roadway, and jammed on the brakes. The front of the car caught boulder as it swept to the roadside, and the rear, carried by it's own inn petus, swung around on the boulder like a pivot.
 The car rolled over on it's side, and all were thrown out in heap Shar- ing the front seat with MT. Buck ingham was Mir. Youngs while the women and children were in the rear. All were thrown out in a heap. Both Mrs. Budau and Mrs. Bucking- ham are of large physique and they fell heavily. Mrs. Buckingham struck headhrst, but with admirable grit was the first to arise, and almost before the others could realize what had happened, she had snatched up the two little boys who awoke as they struck in the roadway.
 Waiting only long enough to find out that none had been badly in jured Mayor Buckingham started to trudge through the darkness to find a telephone, leaving MT. Youngs in charge of the wrecked party. He had walked more than a mile before he found a farmhouse from
 
 called up Ambulance Driver Aubrey Burlison at his quarters in the Po- lice & Charities building, who had been driving the mayors car the day before during his vacation, and told Burlinson to make arrangements to have help sent him as soon as pos Sible.
 Burlinson secured two cars and me chanics from the Blue Ribbon Garage and the management of the garage when it learned of the mayors plight despatched a third car along as an extra precautiOn.
 The Blue Ribbon party suffered a blow out on the way to the mayor, ! which resulted in considera ble delay. It was daybreak when Burlinson and l the mechanics reached the mayors party They were sheltering them selves from the rain in the upturned car with blankets and coats arrang- ed in an improvised tent to keep the rain and cold away from the women | and children. Though chilled through l from the exposure, the party was in | good spirits on realizing that the 1 mishap which might have been dis astrouS was fraught With compara- | lively such minor results.
 1 One of the cars drove the party | home, but en route it suffered a | blow out and it was o'clock before | the mayors home was reached. Mean | while fBurllSOn ana the mecndn1cS got | the Locomobile righted, and found its running mechanism was intact. The | big car came home under it's own power. It was only slightly dam | aged, the running board on the right side being smashed. and one of the | glass wind shields broken.
 pr. J. H. D. Budau, Mrs. Bucking-
 hams brother, and Dr. J. w. Wright | were soon at the mayors home. I The physicians ordered the entire party to bed and left a nurse in bcharge It was after noon that the mayor arose. The physicians felt lit
 tie alarm for the health of the auto-
 mobilists, all bearing up well under
 the exposure.

 younger boy is not considered serious l When Burlinson and the Blue Rib
 bon crew examined the car they found that the right rear tire had apparently | undergone a blowout. But Mayor 1 Buckingham says he believes the ac- l cident to the tire resulted in the ov- | erturning of the car, for he hard nc | report of the supposed blow out, and
 he is of the opinion that the mishar was the direct result of skidding in
 the muddy road.
 Up to the time of the mishap, he
