 NO ONE INJURED Three People MiraculOusly Escape
 Serious Injuries | CAR SKIDDED IN SAND
Meet Tonight to Consider Scouts On Hike Local Team to Play Southington Nine-Briefs.

A Hudson roadster. occupied by one man and two young women, chance acquaintances, cut up a series of sensational capers on the Farm ington road yesterday afternoon when the big car skidded, wobbled and overturned. The momentum was so great. however, that after turning turtle, the machine again righted it. self Miraclously none of the oc- cupants was seriously injured. al- though the two girls were slightly cut by flying glass. The heavy top of the car, although it was demon ished, acted as a fender and doubtless saved the passenger from more seri- ous injuries.

 The name of the autoist could not be ascertained, but it is said that he came from Hartford, and was headed for Compounce.
