DOG OWNER FINED
Judge Peasley Warned Him That II Would Be More Next Time.

Dog cases in court are generally tedious affairs but the case against E. J. Adams of Tracy avenue this morning was not in that category. Adams seemed to be the embodiment of all that is self possessed and au- dacious and his encounter with the law did not take curl out of him From the drift of the testimony his dog, combination St Bernard and Great Dane is, at least was, as big as himself, for the dog Is no more dog. He was veritable terror in the neighborhood. Children went miles out of their way to avoid him. Adults never passed his yard without being armed with pockets full of stones or shooting irons and so un- pleasant was his reputation that even the grocer in Simonsville would not send man to Adams house for orders. Two weeks ago Frank Mat ott, a grocer's clerk while delivering goods at Adams house was set upon by the dog and for two days after the nAAiudl ulu HUI cat d luluk u6Niuk dined so well on the mans right arm. Matott has not been able to work since. A year ago the dog chewed up pedler, bag of rags and all.
 Adams said: Why people would think keep tiger instead of a dog The pedler sued me and I set- tied up with him. The dog Is ai- ways on chain and I have a sign on the fence beware of the dog If can't keep this dog can keep an- other." The sentence was fine ot S15 and costs and the dog was order ed to be killed before noon.
 Before Adams left court he paid the fine and Judge Peasley informed nim that while there Is no law against him keeping another dog.
 If the dog turns out to be vicious md he Is arrested again he will be given the limit, fine of $100, and Adams left court smiling.

LOTS GOING FAST
Boughton Property on West Side
 Hill Cut Into Building lois.

One of the most successful land
 sales ever opened in Waterbury ii
 now being conducted by the Wood
 ward Land company at Boughtor
 park. Highland avenue. The proper. ty formerly belonged to George
 Boughton and consists of thirty-eight acres, nearly all nice, level ground
 high. dry and healthy and commands a splendid view of the whole city. Il fronts about eleven hundred feet on Highland avenue, which is laid out to uniform width of sixty feet from West Main street to the Bradleyville road, distance of about mile and a half. The particular piece of prop. rty referred to abuts on 8 sidewalk is supplied with city water. electric lights and other improvements. Sc people who buy there and want to build will encounter no delay so far as the city is concerned. There are 200 lots on the tract, and all the new streets are laid out to a width of fifty feet. A special sale Is on to-day and will be continued tomorrow.
 With view to making the place as attractive as possible the manage ment has decided to present to the city half dozen lots situated on a knoll in the center of the tract to be used for a public park. They wish to have 1t named Boughton park. but this Is only suggestion so that the offer has no strings attached to It.. This is in accordance with what pub lie men have been talking about for years. small park in each section of the city and 1t looks now as If High land avenue Is the first to get into line. The proposed park fronts on Eliot street and contains over an acre and half of ground. In the naming of streets the company made 1t point not to double up with the city government regarding street nomenclature. They have used such Indian names as Mohican, Sagamore, Pomham, Quansigamond and so on. The property is quite close to West Main street, within a few minutes walk of the trolley and when one considers the railroad and street changes under way in that part of the town, it might be said that it bounds section where business Is booming and is just far enough re- moved from the scenes of activity to make an ideal residence location.
