Nearly half of the car protruded over the edge of the garage when the auto came to rest Mir. Brzuch was held fast be- tween the radiator and the side of the garage.
 Calls For Help
 His appeals for help quickly brought people to the scene. As the garage partially overhangH the Quinebaug river it seemed as if he was in mos mentary danger of dropping into the river. It was necessary to have ladders to extrieate the man from his danger our predicament, and as the fire de- pertinent was the only agency that could supply the needed ladders quickly, the hremen were called. They worked for 10 or IS minutes before they could free the man, joists having to be sawed and boards being ripped of, to accomplish this. He was i'm taken to the hospital.
