Milford, Nov, ia spirited horse
owned by Gilbert M. Clark INDUCED
in a runaway to-day and displayed
more than ordinary agility. The ami
NAL started on his wild career at River
street and came through the town at
a wonderful rate of speed. When the
corner bridge was reached the speed
of the outfit was too great to permit
the successful turning of the corner
Accordingly the horse jumped over a
high board fence clearly, leaving the
carriage behind. The carriage was
wrecked, but no other damage was
done and the horse was found at his
barn later uninjured.
Branford, Nov. 1.-THE electric light
plant was put into operation tonight
for the first time and great success
was scored Only store and residence
incandescents are used as yet, but
within few days the arc lights will
be started.

ford was lighted tonight. The power
house is located midway between the
two towns and the residents of both
towns are delighted with their new
system of lighting.
