Mrs. Shelter received severe lacerations about the head and body. They were rushed to the Bridgeport hospital by a passing car where it was found their injuries were not serious.

 For failing to stop their machine when signa1ed by Officer David Dinan yesterday morning at 12:3O, when they were passing through Stratford ] without the rear light of their car lighted resulted in the arrest of S. H. Yudkin, 1ss Lafayette street, and J. s. Frost. 1s0 Washington street, l both of New Haven, on the charge of transporting liquor without a permit, When the officer sounded, his whistle for the driver to stop the car proceeded with more speed, but not fast enough, as Officer Dinen jumped on a car following and over | took the men on the Ferry boulevard. | Searching the Ford business truck he found two 50 gallon barrels of whis- | key. Revenue Officer Hugh Lavery was called on the case and the men 1 released on posting of a $1,000 cash | bond, which was furnished by the driver of the car who had in his possession about 5000.
 | Rumor has had 1t for the past two
 or three days that former fSe1ectman
 James Lal1y had withdrawn his name as a candidate for the office of first
 se1ectman at the coming town cleo
 ton and that Reginald DeLacour and l Seymour Wells, Jr., were to run for
 the office in his stead. This report 1 which has been taken for granted by | many has been found to be incorrect, | as last evening in an interview, MT.
 Lally stated that he had made no
 such statement to anyone. Many other rumors relative to certain oth- | CT candidates are also being circu1at- l ed but investigation has proved most l of them to be incorrect.
 Henry Wells, one of the we'll known l young men of the town, has been 1 engaged by Charles Abercrombie, the l local newsdealer, as assistant manag. | CT of his news emporium. MT. Wells | assumed his new duties yesterday and
 the increased sales for the day speaks
 we'll for MT. Wells popularity in Stratford.
