' motorcycle as the machine collided With trolley car on Stratford ave- nue in front of St. MichaeFs cemetery s7=E31rday. J. Lund, father of Nelson c. Lund, the well known proprietor of the west End Moving Picture theatre of Ssa&e stret, Bridgeport, was painfully though not fatally injured and the mo- torcycle was wrecked.
 The oily condition of Stratford ave- nue is blamed for the accident, it be- ing stated that the wheels of Lund's motorcycle skidded on the oily surface of the road so that. the machine swerv- ed onto the trolley tracks right in front Of the trolley car.
 The trolley car, which was an Avon Park tripper leaving Bridgeport at 1 rate or speed as was also the motor cycle. The result was that when the two came together the crash was a bad one.
 The fender of the trolley car caught the motorcycle and pushed it along the tracks in front Of the car and Lund was dragged along with it. The troll ley was brought to a quick stop and the motorcyclist assisted to his feet. He was dazed by the spill, his clothes were torn and he was badly bruised all over his body. He was taken into a nearby office and later recovered enough to go home. An automobile came out from the Moon garage in Bridgeport and the machine was cart ed back to the city to be repaired.
 RUNAWAY IN EAST END
 That several small children and a couple of older people were not knock ed down and seriously injured or per in the East End yesterday, is consid- cred a miracle by all who saw the run away.
 It was just as the crowds of Sunday afternoon promenaders were thickest and at a time when children were most away took place The horse, attached to a light carriage, started to run away near Newfeld avenue and scattered everything before it until it reached the city line near Weidlch's silver shop.
 At this point Nate Warner, who lives in Clam Shell row, saw the horse ap- proach6ng He out into the road and the frightened animal swept by he caught its trailing bridle rein and after being dragged for a distance of 50 feet finally brought the runaway to a stop.
 The owner of the rig drove up in an automobile few minutes later and breathed sigh of relief when he saw that the horse had been stopped before any one had been killed or injured. He thanked MT. Warner for stopping the runaway and then led the horse away.
