FAIRFIELD COUNTY.
BETHEL.
FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT.

Adolph Simon, who lives with his father-in-law, William Purdy, at 49 Maple avenue, met with serious accident on Sunday, April 30, and one which cost him his left hand. A son of MT Purdy had been to the Bedding x Bethel Lime kiln in Plum trees, the day previous and had found some dynamite caps and brought them home with him. Sunday morning, they had them in the back yard and MT Simon saw them and took them away and was going to the brook back of the house to throw them away, as he was walking along he picked one of the caps with pin, setting off the whole six or seven caps he had in his hand. The explosion tore his left hand so badly it only hung on shreds and his right hand and arm were filled with powder. The fingers on the right hand were somewhat bruised but not seriously. A bandage was placed around his left arm to keep him from bleeding to death and Dr Hart was quickly summoned, who advised his being removed to the Danbury hospital, where he was taken after a little delay. It was found necessary to amputate the left hand at the
 wrist, which was done by Dr Stratton of Danbury and pr Hart of Bethel.
 MT Simon showed wonderful nerve

GREENFIELD HILL

HORSE THIEF BROUGHT TO JUSTICE.
 On the 10th of July of last year, Thomas Bryant, well-known colored character of Fairfield, who at that time was employed by George E. Will son of Greenfield Hill as farm hand, drove to Bridgeport with a horse be- quantity of milk to customer in that city. He was instructed by MT Wilson to bring load of grain from the city on his return trip, and was also given sum of money with which to make several additional purchases. At night, neither horse nor driver put in an ap- pearance so MT Wilson telephoned to police headquarters in Bridgeport, thinking the man might have indulged too freely in liquor and had been taken into custody. Investigation at that point showed that he had not been taken in tow by the authorities, and the truth then flashed upon MT Wilson that the scamp had stolen the horse and outfit and was making tracks to another part of the country. Detect ives were put on trail and although diligent search was made in every direction, no trace of the thief or stolen turnout could be obtained. Sunday night, A pril 29, Sheriff Wallace M. Bulkley received information that negro answering to Bryant's deScrip- tion had been seen in company with band of gypsies who were camping out in the vicinity of Holland Heights, near Bridgeport. Cautioning his in- formant to keep quiet about the mat ter, Sheriff Bulkley waited until morn ing and then drove over to the gypsy camp to investigate for himself. U pon %op af fko font fho 0h0T. if saw the dusky face of the negro whom he at once recognized, and who
 was completely taken by surprise Realizing full we'll the officers mission, the negrO's first thought was to leap out through the opposite opening in
 the tent and make a wild break fol liberty. His plan was quickly frus
 trated by the sheriff, however, who
 knowing the dangerous character o1
 his man, covered him with 8 revolver
 and ordered him not to leave the en
 closure. Thus cornered he soon sur
 rendered and was handcuffed and tax
 en into custody by the officer. He wal given hearing at the town house in
 Justice Charles L. Hill, who bound him over to the May term of the Superior court under bond of $500. As no bail of course could be obtained he wal l taken to the Bridgeport jail to await
 his trial. No information as to the
 whereabouts of the stolen turnout has
 been obtained up to the present time
 but it is believed that after the pris
 oner has been subjected to searching
 examinations by experts at the jail g confession will be wrung from hin

they have made camp or have reached the welcome shelter of rOadhOuSes.
 An instance is told of miner on Els ther running nearly the whole dis tance to keep from freezing. He start ed out lightly clad, not realizing that 1t was so cold, and he was becoming benumbed when he exerted himself for all he was worth and kept the cir culation going. Old-timers, when asked for advice about resisting the present cold weather, invariably gave one reply-keep inside where it is warm. If a man is on the trail they say the best thing for him to do is to find timber and camp. However, it is not every person that realizes the de- gree of cold when he is mushing un- fectS. This is the time when 1t is nec- essary for him to "keep his head" A person who takes fright and gets rat tied is in about the same position as 8 man standing on narrow plank hun dred feet in the air. He is all right as long as he keeps his head; but he wants to begin to get busy. Fortunate ly, there is plenty of timber in this country, and few pieces of birch bark or dry twigs placed over as the surest means of lighting fire. It is then up to the man to keep the fire going.
 Some men carry Q piece of candle as the surest means of lighting fire, in case 1t may become necessary. Others carry few strips of birch bark, and nearly all of the old-timers scatter their matches about their persons and even upon the sled, bearing in mind the fact always that they are liable to fall into an overflow.
 The freighters, wOOdmen and most of the business men, are not trying to transact business. The streets were practically deserted the past two days. A good many miners and prospectOrs, imprisoned in town owing to the cold weather, declare twenty times a day that they will soon start out cold weather or no cold weather, but it is noticed that they do not seem to be setting about it very lively. In fact, no one who cares to live to ripe old age is doing much travelling this kind of weather.
 Another thing that should not be forgotten in connection with resisting the cold, when caught upon the trail, old.timers say, is to place plenty of flood under your belt" In the morn ing peoples vitality is in. better shape for resisting the cold than toward evening, when they are tired and hun hungry. The cold that is not felt at all in the morning begins to get in it's deadly work tow ard evening, so it Is important that the traveller not tire himself, and keep himself we'll fed.-[January 19.

Dr Wersebe and Dr Shopp are always stars in whatever plays they are in and their transformation from old age to handsome youth with characteris- tic acting showed the talent of profes- sional acting. In fact, the whole play was very amusing and would bear re- beating.

New York, Nov. 23.-caruso, the
grand opera tenor, was found guilty
late this afternoon of insulting women
in the monkey house of Central park,
and fined $40. This ended one Of the
most remarkable and sensational po-
lice court trials ever held here.
A big crowd filed the courtroom
again, but the prosecution was unable
to produce Hannah Graham, the wo-
man who swore to the complaint and
the defense took advantage of this to
urge that she was myth and that the
case against the famous singer was a
police built case"
Deputy Police Commissioner Mathot,
in his argument against Caruso. de-
clared Caruso was moral pervert who
should be kept out of decent society,
and said the reason why Hannah Gra-
ham hadn't appeared in court was that
she feared to face such crowd of per-
verts as commonly attended such hear
ings.
The spectators in the courtroom
hissed this statement
Mathot said Caruso had never de-
MED the real charge against him, that
he had thrust his hateful indignities
on two young girls.
