Qdy- NOL only was the SCeW costly but was also rather an odd sort. Ii is true it was never printed on a Broadway bill of fare, but that did not stop Tosti in the least. Joseph had his eye peeled for several weeks the object being robins nest in which he saw four large eggs. He waited his time until the eggs were matched out and the young robbins had gained in weight. When he considered the young birds were fatted he robbed the nest, took the four young robins and made a stew of the birds. Deputy Game Warden Kellogg of Bridgeport, who is employed at the dam heard superior officer, Warden Wilbur Smith of Norwalk The latter arrested Tos- ti. Yesterday morning before Justice Bacon Wakeman, Tosti admitted the robbing of the nest and the mak- ing of the stew. He also added that the new relish was quite Palatable. He was found guilty of violation of the game laws and fined $2 and costs, amounting to $19.37. That's about five dollars a bird. Guess 1t was a stew on TostEjoke.)
 A special town meeting has been called by the selectmen for Monday evening" July 7, when many matters of local import will be considered. The call issued by the selectmen reads Building new or further extending the school accomm odations at Holland Heights district; the purchasing, and maintenance of a town lock-up;e pro- viding a new bridge near Stratfield church; providing hydrants at Brook lawn terrace; to reconsider a vote of previous town meeting relating to ap- propriation for repairs and extending road at the beach; to make appropria- tons for any and all purposes as above set forth.''
 rT1L,z districts have complained of lack of school accommodations and have pe- tftioned the selectmen that something be done so that the same condition will not exist when schools reopen in September. It is at the request of the police authorities that a town lookup is asked for. At the present time when arrests are made and it is required to lock pup a prisoner over night the accused is taken to the Bridgeport jail. This is very inconvenient. Fairfield is way behind other towns of the state in. this respect, many towns of much less size and consequence than Fair field having coolers
 The many auto accidents in town can be laid to the new pavement and nothing else,'' said a, prominent resi- dent this morning. Ut Is true there were such accidents before the pave- ment was laid, we'll always have ae- cidents. but there were never so many as at the present time. Some infer that the new pavement has nothing to do with the accidents, but figures disproYe that statement These au- toists are but human once they get on good road they want to let out at a high clip. Here am condemn ing the autoists if I had a. machine I'd bet I'd be doing the same thing myself The speaker concluded by venutring to make guess that Fair field would have to maintain an am bulance corps when once fhe new pavement is laid around Reinecks cor ner and Dead Mans corner in Fair quite often, he said. what will they be with the new pavement?''
 Charles Huenerberg, 24, a resident of Howard avenue, Bridgeport, form erly residing with his parents the state road, Greens Farms sustained a. compound fracture of the leg .yes- terday morning when while riding on his motorcycle he was run into at the library corner by a. machine owned and driven by George Adams, a build CT of Weston. Huenerberg was on his way back to work in Westport where he is in the employ of the electric light company of that town. Adams was going to Bridgeport. According to witnesses, it was about o'clock in the morning, neither. vehicle could be said to be speeding. Huenerberg had seen the automobile approaching in Spring street and had taken a big swing to the right to give the autono- bilist all the room necessary to swing into Broad street. Instead Adams maintained a straight course, that is continuing further into Spring street When the motorcyclist became aware of the position of the automobile it was too late to avoid the crash, the machines meeting almost head on- When Adams saw that it was Huen- erberg that he had hit, he was very much overcome, as he had known the young man most all his life. Several witnesses have stated that the auto mobile did not keep exactly to the right of the road.
 For lack of sufficient evidence that would warrant finding the accused guilty, Justice Bacon Wakeman re- leased Erwin s. Jennings, the Bridge port auto dealer, who was arrested by Motorcycle Policeman Fred voIdaurar r for speeding The officer told the court that on Sunday last he had fol- lowed Jennings from Benson's corner to Mill River and that the speedo- meter on his motorcycle registered 32 miles an hour. Jennings told the court that he was proceeding at 8 lesser rate-
 The officer also stated that Jen- ningS passed two teams and also a standing car. Jennings did not deny these charges but added that at the time his machine was under perfect control, and that when he passed the car he slowed down to 20 miles an hour. It is rather a coincidence that Jennings was charged with speeding for only a, few weeks ago he caused the arrest of two Yale students on the same charge. He had heard the ap- proach of the students machine and noting tis speed pulled his car way to the side. The students car shot by at rapid pace. Jennings 'phoned to the Bridgeport police =w1lo greS.ss33 the young men as they came through The young men admitted that they were spedeing and gladly paid their fines. They told the court they took a chance and were willing when they were caught not to squea1.
 Every time State Policeman Rowe Wheeler comes to town he generally catches some offender of at least one
