About 11:30 P.M. on the night of the Fourth, a party of young folks returning to Easton from Cambridge, stopped under an electric light to see how the gasoline was holding out. A second car with two men came around the corner at the Methodist Church and smashed into the car that was standing still. The result was that the two men were thrown out, and judging from the blood marks on the brick walks, were seriously cut. Their car was badly damaged. Dr. Nicols gave first aid, but one of the men was carried to the Cambridge Hospital, where four stitches were taken in his face. The Easton party continued on homeward. All parties refused to give their names until the garage man said a name must be given before the car could be fixed. Mr. Bennett owned the damaged car.
