 St. Patrick obseryed-Briefs.
 Rudolph Zelaski of Waterbury was arrested by Officer F. W. Furrey last night on the charge Of operating a motor vehicle while under the infiu- ence of intoxicating liquor.
 Zelaski was proceeding through Plainville towards Lazy Lane when the automobile in which he was rid - ing was seen to take an uncertain course along Whiting street. Many pedestrians who had taken to the road, were forced to scramble up the sidewalks on either side to avoid be- ing hit. A short way down Whiting street, Zelaski piloted his craft into | the ditch. He was accompanied by | his wife and family, but the force of the impact did not inJure any of them. Passersby aided him in getting the car on the road again and he started on his way. When he was approach ing the town line, his vision again became impaired by the thick fog and again his machine ran into ditch.
 By this time Officer E. w. Furrey had been notified of the strange antics of the car, and he communicated a taxicab from MT. Manning in the cen- ter and went to the scene. He placed Zeaski under arrest and had a driver pilot the car to the lock up. Later Zaleski's family was sent home in the family car with driver hired by Off, ficer Furrey, and the car was returned to Plainville as security for Zelaskis appearance in the town court. His trial will take place today with Jus tice F. P. Prior on the bench and Prosecutor William Foran handling the states case.
