Ryan Miraculously
 !: Escapes In Accident
Thomaston POlicenlan's Car Overturns When Terry vile Driver Crowds Him Off ROad Pins Him to Wheel

Terryville, was apprehended about a half hour later by Ryan who had miraculously escaped serious in- jury and who had crawled unassist- cd through the door of the dam aged machine none the worst for his experience save sprained right wrist.
 Gurski was taken in toe at the scene of an accident involved in the vicinity of Dolan's garage on the Waterbury road in which his car left the highway tore down a por- ton of the state fence and over- turned in the meadow below. He too escaped injury.
 The chase which terminated in the two accidents started on East Main street near Prospect street when the town officer sighted the car driven by the Terryville man coming down Plymouth Hill at what appeared an excessive rate of speed. The officer who was in the act of turning his car at the point in question headed for town after the speeding motorist disre- earded the whistle blown in attempt to stop him.
 The chase continued through the center where the fleeing machine was described by the officer as driv- ing on two wheels as it scaled around the rotary traffic. The speed of the racing machine which was light Chevrolet coupe was terrific, according to the officer, as it tore down the Main street. Forced by another car near Center street to slacken it's pace slightly the officer was enabled to get near enough when near Johnston's gas station to make an attempt to drive along side the speeding machine and force the driver to stop.
 Gurski swung to the middle of the road at that point and the pursuing officer, realizing both machines were but a short distance from the approach of curve around which another car might be advancing, headed back to the extreme right of the road when the car swayed and turned turtle.
 The officer, pinned in the car, exerted much effort before able to open the door and crawl out. The top of the machine and other parts were badly damaged but it was pos siblc to drive under it's own power
 A short time after the accident when the officer had returned to the center of town he was informed of the accident on the Waterbury road and a description of the car involved tallied with the one he had but shortly before been pursuing. Hurrying to the scene he found the driver who he said was cndcavoring to find transportation to Terryvllle. Questioned he admitted that he had previously driven through town but was unaware that he was being fol- lowed by an officer.
 GurSki admitted having & few beers earlier in the evening when apprchended by Officer Ryan. h. cidently, the Teryvillc youth was fined $1O and costs when arraigned in traffic court In Waterbury Mon- day morning on a charge of reckless driving.
 When arraigned in court this noon before Prosecutor William E. Bumstead and Justice of the Peace James Scott, Gurski was fined $25 and costs of $16.70 on a reckless driving charge.
