 Because of the slippery conditions iof the pavement during the past rev kdays there have been many 'Fnear kaccddents at Fairheld's famous cor fuers There has been one accident lreDorted but nothing came Of 1t only "a much damaged Ford machine. Sun fday morning a Ford machine and fheavier car which bore the hulIloer L I tB637, which is in the name of Theo- dore Surges of Fairfield, met at the Library corner. The smaller car EHvas going towards Bridgeport and in taking the corner at a rather lively sclip sH1dded bringing the machine nhead on into the heavier car. The headlights and mudguards of the fFord were damaged and the radiator tzsmashed in, while the heavier ma chine bore only a few scratches
 from the mishap. Many other cars took the corners at snappy rate and had the usual slzidding but for itunateIy for the occupants there were mo other cars about when the skid ding occurrd. The combination of
 smooth wet pavement and leaves is hluite dangerous to auto traffic.

Accordingly khe warrant was made out in his name, charging reckless driving. EWhen the hearing was held before Judge Bacon Wakeman on Saturday, E4he state was unable to prove the ldriver of the car In fact all the istate was sure of was the number of tfhe machine and that the car was being driven recklessly. As there was sno proof of the driver the case was EnoIled- After the hearing one of the goung ladies who was run down stat
 led to one of the court officials that Bhe recognized among one of the spec Aators the man who was driving the icar Nothing was done at that time,
 but the auth critics now have the de- eired information and the man who Bdrove the machine will be arrested eome time this week.
