MANY INDIANS KILLED.
BUT IT WAS A GOOD WHILE AGO

According to History, the Whites and
 the Indians Fought Near Canaan in
 the Year l73o or Thereabouts-Th
 Indians had no Opportunity to Take
 Scalos.
 In Trumbull's History of Connecti- cut" is found a passage referring to a conflict between a company of whites. under command of Major Tslcet, and n band of Indians. We are informed that the battle occurred at point on the Housatonic river nearly opposite what is known as "Riverside Park" about one mile west of Canaan. This battle is supposed to have taken place about 1730.
 Major Talcott, after his return from Narragansett, having recruited his men a short time in Connecticut, took his station at Westfeld While he lay there, a large body of the enemy were dis covered fleeing to the westward. Major Talcott pursued them, and on the third : and Albany, discovered them lying on the west bank of the Housatonic River, entirely secure. It was judged too late in the day to attack them to any purpose
 The army, therefore, retreated, and lay upon their arms, in great silence during the night. Toward morning the troops were formed in two divisions. One was ordered to pass the river below the enemy and to advance and compass them ill on that side. The other party, creeping up silently to the east bank of the river, were to lie prepared instantly to fire, when they should receive the signal from the other division, who. when they had reached their ground, were to fire a single gun. But this we'll contrived plan was in some measure dis concerted. An Indian had left his com panions in dead sleep, and proceeded down the river to catch fish. As the division on the west side of the river was advancing to surround the enemy, he discovered them and roared out,
 
 of the party fired, and killed him on the spot. The other division, on the east bank of the river, supposing this to be the signal gun, discharged upon the enemy, as they were rising in surprise, or lay upon the ground, and killed and wounded 8 great many of them. Those who were not killed or. disabled by wounds, instantly fled, leaving their camp, baggage, provisions and many of their arms. AS the division on the west side had not advanced to the ground designated, before the alarm was given, the enemy made their escape with less damage than otherwise they could have done. The troops pursued them some distance, but the woods were so extremely thick, that they soon disappeared and the army returned. The Sachem of Quabaug or Brookfeld was killed and A other Indians were killed or taken. Among the killed were 8 warriors.

. TO BUILD A SEWERAGE SYSTEM

Committee Finds That the Desired
 Rights Cannot be Amicably Obtained
 Therefore Resolution to Apply to
 the Legislature for Charter Rights
 is Adopted.
 At the meeting of the Canaan fire dis trict Saturday afternoon at Town Hall, John B. Reed presided and J. 0. Rora- back was clerk pro tenn. The meeting was called for the purpose of discussing the proposition to apply for legislative rights to construct sewerage system.
 The committee consisting of J. H. Roraback, Dr. o. W. Camp, N. l.. Jack son, R. D. Peirce and Wallace w. Burg hardt made the following report:
 ''To the. Canaan Fire District:
 The undersigned, the committee to whom has been referred the question of securing the necessary rights in behalf of the district for the erection of the line of sewers, beg leave to report that after various negotiations and interviews with the different parties owning prop erty which would be affected by the construction of said sewer pipe, they come to the conclusion that said rights cannot be amicably secured. They therefore beg leave to report the advisability of passing the accompanying resolution authorizing the district to ap- ply to the General Assembly of this state for charter giving it the power to ac- quire such property as may be necessary by proper proceedings of eminent do- main, and to issue its bonds to pay for the expense of constructing said sewer lines.
 The report was accepted and the fol lowing resolution unanimously adopted:
 .sWhereas. this district has, at previ- ous meetings, added to.the purposes of its organization the purpose of con structing and maintaining sewers and drains and
 " Whereas, It has expressed itself in fla tor of a proposed sewer plan prepared by Wallace w. Burghardt, civil engi- neer, and submitted etoithe district, and has instructed its committee to under take to secure from the different proper ty owners, through whose property the proposed sewer line wonld run, the nee- esSary rights in behalf of the district to construct and maintain upontheir prem ises said pipe lines and
 Whereas, Said committee reports that in ther opinion ritis impossible to se- cure, without legal proceedings, such rights as are necessary for the district to have
 It is therefore voted that this district shall apply to the General Assembly of this state at its January session, 1907, asking for snch charter rights as will confer upon said district the right to ac- quire by proceedings of eminent domain, or otherwise, the property necessary for the construction of suitable sewer lines and any necessary extension or extensions thereof and, also, to ask for charter giving said district the right to issue it's bonds to such amounts as may be neces- sary to defray the expense of construct ing said sewer system, such other powers as may be necessary or conxen- tent for said district to have,''
 The meeting adjourned sine die.

Modern Ideas Of CITY Parks.

bricks and mortar and cobblestoues,

his desk for most of the summer, can
get brief whiff Of the country morn

Beard Il Eight Feet Long.

w. 4. Guiles, Of this place is 50
years OF age. and 1t is his proud boast
that razor has not touched his face
in 20 years. During all this time his
whiskers have continued to grow, and
today they are little over eight feet
in length. about three feet of his re-
markable hirsute adornment resting
on the ground when he has his beard
unfurled.
The whiskers, however, occasion
him little Inconvenience, as he keeps
them done up with hairpins under his
chin except on rare occasions. AS
they are pinned in place for him at
home and the process is an irksome
and difficult one, he never let's his
whiskers down outside of his own
home circle. not because he isn't proud
Of the distinction he enjoys, but for
the simple reason that he has not ac-
quired the knack of getting his whisk-
ers neatly back In place again.-Or-
