cllpants of the automobile, Harry B.
Tuttle. of New Haven, the owner, anti
friends. Robert H. Wright and Henry
D. Wright, Norwalk. were not. at least
wonderful.
The‘trouble was all caused by the
steering gear of the machine failing to
work properly at the critical moment.
The machine was badly wrecked. but
ilié men in it escaped with a few
bruises and scratches. -
fl‘rolley car 45 was making a regular

latter noticed an ’iiulomobiic ahead act.-

across the trucks and stayed between
the rails. The motorluail quickly
shut off his power and applied "the
brakes. bill was unable to do this
quick enough to avoid the impact.
Tultle and Wright began doing scr-
ial stunts as a result of the collision.
The former struck a, pane of glass ill
the vestibule, smashing it. When he
landed he was able to pick himself up,
but felt very sore. R. H. Wright
turned several somersaults and found
himself lying in the road with his
clothing badly torn. Tho shaking up
and bruises were all he suffered. There
was practically no damage to the iron
ley car, but the automobile was quite
a. sight. Tile front axle was wrecked,
the dash was smashed and the whole
machine made a very poor appearance.

of F. E. Lockwood and Company. who
will pill in in condition again.
Mr. Tiittle had only purchased the
automobile in New York on Saturday
and was taking it. home at the time of
the unfortunate collision with the.
street car.
