 Fairfield. June 2s.-Two New York motorcyclistS are out a score and more of iron men just because they toyed with the law Thursday even ing, not figuring that State Policeman Rowe Wheeler of Stratford ocoasion- ally makes a visit to Fairfield. The two visitors celebrated their coming upon motor cycles by making their entrance into town with their muffIers open. Their engines were pounding away at a great rate when Officer Wheeler gave them the high sign. Yes terday morning the two appeared be- fore Justice Robert c. Hitchcock and were fined $2O and costs.
 Complaint had been made to the To- cal officials that motorcycIists and automobilists have been in the habit of taking advantage of the unpatrolIed streets to take off their mufflers. The late hours of the evening and the early morning hours seemed to be their busy times Officer Wheeler took up a position in Main street in his auto Thursday evening catching the two offenders with ease. It is to be hoped that the two who were caught will tell the story of their plight to others, in that way spread ing the good news that Fairfield wants quiet during the evening hours.
 
 some would call him green. for the Connecticut Co, gave the passengers in his car a good1y scare Thursday ev- ening. According to one of the pas sengers the car had come in from Westport at rapid clip. Just as the car rounded F1int's corner going into Main street a passenger lost his straw hat He immediately gave three bells to the notorman. The latter shifted his lever back to the starting point and applied the air. The result was that the fuses at both ends blew out, flames shooting up and about both platforms. The motorman not know ing just what to do yelled to his con ductor for assistance. In the mean while the car kept on going, the pas Sengers pi1ing out the sides as best they could. There was a. merry spluttering of sparks and flames un- til someone suggested that the con- ductor take the pole of the wire. When that was accomplished the wrong was righted and the flames subdued. The unotorman was evi- dentaIly new man as the only indi- cation of his office as rnotorman was the hat he wore.
