7 Automobile Overturned.

Five young men from Mianus are thankful at having escaped serious in- riding overturned at the foot of Pal merss Hill, Stamford, Monday even ing The party consisted of Elmer Mitchell, George Caldwell, G11stave BiImott, William Swezy and MT. Foote They were driving in Mr. Swezy's car. The car struck a, large stone placed at the end of a drain which runs al most across the road. The collision overturned the car, hurling Messrs. Caldwell, Bilmott and Foote in differ ent directions Messrs Swezy and Mitchell were pinned underneath the auto when it turned over. The wind shield and lamps were broken, the body smashed, mud guards and springs bent and the. car was other wise damaged.
 I The young men were somewhat bruised, but were otherwise uninjur- ed.
 Charter in Danger
 Many persons are interested in the possibility that the Bridgeport-Dan- bury company's charter may be for feited at the end of the present year, as the work done upon the line up to the present time is not sufficient to secure the rights granted conditionally by the state. Nothing new has de- veloped in regard to the reported sale of the property of the road to New York or Baltimore, interests. It is certain that negotiations for the sale are under way, but as to whether or
 
 consumrnated no inforIna ton is to be had. The impression however, is that the sale has not been completed.
 Fire in Ridgeffeld.
 A disastrous fire swept over the L.. H. Bigelow estate, in Ridgeheld Saturday evening, doing $3O,O00 dam age. The bursting of the Ridgefeld iremen's hose allowed the flames full sway. as only a small chemical engine remained, with which to fight the fire. The fire. which was first discovered in a carriage barn, was the third bad fire to occur on practically the same spot in the past sixteen years. As was the case with this fire, the previous two fires were also, strangely enough 1 of unknown but probably incendiary origin. Six large buildings were rag | ed From the carriage barn the flames | spread to the garage, to a large barn, | and to three smaller buildings, all of | which were burned to the ground The l of all the buildings were except in the case of the car i -iage barn.

 Will Protect Game
 In view of the opening of the hunt ing season it may be of interest to sportsmen and others throughout the state to know of the action which has been taken by large number of the summer residents who now own or control large tracts of woodland in town Isolated attempts to protect eS- tates have been made for a number of years, but for lack of special war dens and the great distances to be cov- cred it has been difficult to accomplish the ends desired. This year mum Der of land owners have contributed funds to secure the constant presence of a warden and assistant and strict enforcement of the game and trespass part of the town territory aggregat-. ing some 5000 acres or more will thus be protected while in the north and east part of the town nearly as much more has been strictly posted. The object of this action is not only to keep hunters and trappers off from the land in question, but those back of the m movement, hope as one result that the covers not only on these lands but on all the territory in the vicinity may be restocked by natural increase of the game birds and animals that were once plenty but are now SO compar- ativeIy scarce.

Some other cause than the trifling

.Isponsible for the abnormal advance
in San Antonio on all classes of job
printing within the past twelve or
fourteen months. True. there has
been a slight increase in the price Of
print paper and job stock. but not
sufficient TO justify an advance Of
25 to $50 per cent in the cost Of
lob work. Trusts may be, and doubt
less are. responsible for the heavy
advance in the cost of job printing,
but the trust controlling print paper
is not the only combination in the

FRIDAY, JUNE IA, 1912.
DO SOMETHING FOR BROWNS
VILE!
WHEN A BOLT is NOT A BOLT.

The ancient problem, How to
have your cake and eat it too" has
never been satisfactorily solved so
far. Yet we ought not to give it
up, since we perceive that another
problem of equal difficulty has just
been settled by Colonel Roosevelt
and his friends.
The problem is, "How to enjoy
your bolt and still stand flat-footed
within the political fold"
The solution is something like
this: Assume that Taft is nomi-
mated at Chicago. Shall the Roose-
welt faction raise the standard ot
Revolt and bolt the convention and
much simpler than that. The pro-
gram is that when the election is
over, the electors already CHOSEN In
the states carried by Roosevelt, will
vote for him instead of the Chicago
nominee.
There is no law-no written law
at least-to prevent any presidential
elector from voting as he pleases.
The program, if carried out. would
of course result in the election Of a
democrat for president; but. equally
of course, it would not be a bolt.
Why not. What's the difference?
Ask the Colonel. Ask Dixon.
This one thing is certain-if not
a bolt, the plan would do the work
for which bolts were originally in
vented. Also it would teach the
Taft crowd not to fool with L. r.
