 Smashup-AnOthcr Accident.

An autom Obile driven by Courtney Timbrell of Cedar street and occupied by himself and his brother, Howard A. Timbrel, figured in a serious smashup with a car operated by George Fenton of S4 South Burritt street last evening. According to the statements of witnesses and of the report at police headquarters MT. Timbrell is absolved from all blame.

FentOn swung around from West Main street and started down on his left side. It is said that he then uddenly turned across to his right ride, in front of the other car. The two machines col lided and locked wheels. Both cars were quito badly damaged.
 Another automobile accident Oc- cured early last evening at the cor ner of Elm and Chestnut streets when a car owned by Joseph Krause and driven by a friend, crashed into the curbing, taking off a wheel and springing the axle.

CROCODILES MAKE
 ATTACK ON SHEEP
Annual Barbecue Held at Lake Con- bounce Today With the Usual
 Jolly Crowd In Attendance.
Especial to the Herald.)


 Lake COmpOunce Aug. 31.-Cau it nature faking if you will but the fact remains that crowd of hungry Crocodiles make an attack on Pierce d. Norton's flock of sheep here this afternoon. Didn't know there were Crocodiles at Compounce? Why, bless you, yes indeed. Ever since Cad Norton, he of revered memory, acted as host to the law makers the Croco- diles have made their annual visit at this pleasant resort and have special ized on destroying all the sheep in sight. So if the dictionary does not include Lake Compounce in the hab- itat of Crocodiles as well as Florida and Africa it is not an up-to-date book.
 The roast was a heaping success in every sense of the word. The attend ance was just as strong as it has been in the past. There are men in Connecticut who would not miss the annual sheep roast of the Crocodile club if they had to break out of prison and they were all here. Politics was discussed in groups and it is a fact worthy of notice that many of the banqueters, most of whom come from agricultural district, seemed to think President Wilson had made a good record and that the country would not be any better off, or as well off if he were displaced.
 Just before the final onslaught on the sheep, the members of the club held their fortieth annual election at which the following officers were re- elected: President, Gideon M. Wake lee; vice president, Edward F. Newell; treasurer, I. Edward Pierce; secretary George A. Beers. MT. Wakelee and MT. Newell are charter members of the club and have never yet missed an annual sheep roast at Lake Com bounce.
 Governor Marcus Holcomb who was at Lake Compounce the day the Crocodile Club came into existence JOurneyed over to the mountain resort today to take part in the festivities. This was his first appearance at one of these affairs since he was first elected a member
