NARROW ESCAPE FOR
 NICHOLS MOTORIS7
Beer Bottle Flung Through Darkness
 Shattered Upon Auto Top.

A. R. Roswell of Nichols. complained to the police today that late last night when he was driving home in his au- ltomobile. he escaped dangerous injury only because he had his auto top raised.
 A beer bottle hurled through thu darkness ana shooting directly for FoswelPs head. was shattered against the auto top. He told the police he knew of no enemies who would seek Nto harm him, and he can't understand why he should be made the target of such a missile.
 The police succeeded in getting a line on two men who were seen stag gering near the Seth Jennings farm on the Nichols road. in the early Iev- ening. The authorities incline to the belief that there was no plan of at- tack on Roswell, but that the dam geroYs happening was the freak of a drunken man.

 Stratford, May 21-Chiefe Alan Jud- son received orders some time since to destroy the late home of Charles (Banger) Beardsley on South avenue. The place was filthy beyond descrip- tion and a menace to the health of the community. Last night the chief summoned the members of the de- pertinent to the number of 40 to at- tend the cremation of the old house. State Policeman Rowe Wheeler ap- piled the match but the old place burned slowly. A liberal application of kerosene helped the fire along until 1t got under way, when 1t made a fine display. The plan had been kept quiet and no one but members of the department were notified, but before the fire was we'll started an audience of over a thousand was. on hand to watch the proceedings |.
