 Two automobiles were badly wreck ed and one person injured when the cars cOllided midway between South Wilmington and Merrows on the state highway last Sunday evening. The injured person was Mrs. Fred Service of South Wilmington, who sustained painful cuts on the face by broken glass from a damaged windshield. Reckless driving is charged against John HOrrigan of this place, who was driving a Studebaker roadster, when it cOllided with a Ford touring car in which were MT. and Mrs. James Ser vice and MT. and Mrs. Fred Service and the formers daughter, Miss Isa- belle Service. HOrrigan was driving towards Stafford and the Service car was headed toward Merrows. The collision happened on turn in the highway. The position of the wreck ed cars show that Horrigans car was on the wrong side of the road. Two members of the state police barracks at Stafford Springs were soon on the scene. They placed Horrigan under arrest. He will be given hearing in the Mansfield town court tomorrow.
