LOSS OF LIFE $50.

Storm in the South Came, in Three
Distinct Currents.
New Orleans, La, April PA cor
rected summary of the effects of Fri
days tornadoes in four southern states
has been completed. They are:
Killed, about $50; injured, painfully
or seriously. 1900; homeless, several
thousand; towns reporting serious
wreckage, forty-six: habtations and
business houses practically complete
ruins in these towns, about $500.
These figures do not include the
wreckage on plantations and farms,
scores of which were struck and dam
aged. Remote places which were late
in reporting their dead have served to
hold the total death list uniformly
around $50.
BY following the wreckage of towns
the general direction of the tornadoes
can be traced closely. Apparently the
storm struck separate currents, each
describing the arc of circle and trav-
cling toward the northeast.
The first of these struck thru north
ern Louisiana. Mississippi. and Tennes-
see before daylight Friday morning.
The second appeared farther south
about o'clock in Louisiana and Mis-
sssippi. This apparently was the por-
ton of the storm which had swept thru
Alabama and Georgia on Friday night
and Saturday morning. The third por-
tion of the storm appeared during Fri
day afternoon, farther south than eth
er of its predecessors. This was the
storm which demolished Amite, La,
and Purvis, Miss, the towns in which
the wreckage was worst.

Memorial Day Will Observed By

All the Holy Name societies of the city as well as those from out of town and the public are invited to participate. This year the eveEt promises to outdo any of the sim liar affairs held in former years. So cieties which never before appeared in line for such an event will be in line and word has already been re- ceived from several of the societies from the nearby towns which are coming.

CURFEW LAW
Places Where ihe Barking Dogs
 Must Cease at g O'Clock.

A good deal has been said on and of regarding the need of curfew law in Waterbury with view to get ting the boys and girls of the streets in due season, but the authorities never took 1t seriously, and if it ever comes 1t certainly is long way off at this time. But another reason is now being offered as to why we should have curfew law and many will take more stock in 1t than the other.
 In Montclair, N. J., measure in- troduced in the town council requires that when the town bell rings every night at o'clock all dogs shall cease their barking and remain quiet until the next morning. The ordinance is directed more at the owners of bark ing dogs than at the animals them- selves, for it provides that the pun ishment shall be visited on the owner to the extent of $5 for the first night s barking and $10 for he second. An other section divides the penalty for biting between the dog and the own CT; the first bite costs the owner $5. the second costs the dog his life. It Is believed that the measure will stand legal criticism as coming under the general welfare clause of the towns laws, which authorize council to abate nuisances.
 This may look like a joke but you wouldn't take 1t that way if you lived in building where two or three dogs kept barking at the stars all night. It is bad enough when people are in their health, but it is different when somebody is sick and needs perfect quiet. Frequently complaints are made about nuisances caused by dogs barknig, roosters growing and boys yelling at unreasonable hours but so far Waterbury has shown no disposi- tion to deal with the question in practical way. If the board of health could secure the passage of an ordi- nance which would silence all three disturbers after folks retire for the night the public would rise up and call them blessed.

JUNK DEALERS TRIAL. Prisoner In Dock Called Witness a
 Liar.

The cases against Joseph Hannon IS, and John Brennan. 8, wer, heard in the city court to-day and in conjunction with. them case against Jacob Finestein and SimoI Spector for buying from Hannon ant Brennan the junk they stole iron the railroad company. knowing 1t tt be stolen. The quantity was 16t pounds and the value $28.S0. Int arrest of Hannon and Brennan was made by Officer Wilton in a barn jr Riverside park a few days ago.
 The story as told by Hannon was said to be the true one It rar thus:
 Hannon lost his job in the shor two weeks ago and not being able to find another he was cast of by his folks. who live on East Liberty street. They used to live in River side park. Since he was cast off on his own hook Hannon used the barn he was arrested in as a bed room. On the night the Barnum and Bailey circus was here he was going toward this barn when he saw Brennan in the lots, intoxicated. Brennan told him there was a chunk of brass up the road and if they could get 1t 1t was easy to sell and they'd have a few dollars.
 Yer a liar" growled Brennan from the dock when Harmon came to this part of the story. Hannon paid no attention to the interrup- tion but went on:
 Brennan got a wheel barrow and together they went to the round house on the track and got the brass which weighed 160 pounds. They wheeled 1t to the barn and next day Brennan told Hannon to see some Jews about buying it because he owed them $2 and if he sold it to them they would take out the amount of the debt. So Harmon went up town and negotiated the sale of the brass and in the after noon Finestein and Speetor came down with a team and took away the stun paying s3.50 for it.
 The following Tuesday Finestein saw Hannon again and asked him if ne had any more brass to sell. and that he, Finestein had broken up the other chunks and one would not know them in 90 years. Harmon said he had no more brass. That ended his story.
 Finestein and Spector then, fit seems, broke up the brass and sold u to Nathan Albert for ss, receiv- Ing S cents pound for it.
 Brennan was committed to Brook side for so days. Hannon was fined sl0 and costs, Finestein $50 and costs, which he paid. and Spector vas committed to jail for % days. He took an appeal and furnished ball.

HORSES ARE SCARCE.
Local Dealers Say They Can Hardly
Buy Them at Any Price at This
Time.

Local horse dealers state that the
scarcity of horses is the greatest in
this locality that it has been for years.
and that it i" hard to get an animal at
any price, much less down near its
real worth.
When the money tightness came on
it was supposed that horses would
take a tumble along with other live
stock. but such was not the case.
Horses sold right along at from 1925
to S175 and in many instances there
were sales for sums much higher. in
most instances these purchases were
by farmers who wanted the animals
for farm work, and good horses
brought into this country from adj
joining counties were quickly taken
up.
Dealers say there is little use at
tbs time trying to buy horses in this
county and they do not look for any
opening up OF the market until after
the heavy farm work is over. Some
farmers will begin to let loose OF theil
spare animals as soon as all the corn
is in the ground, and beginning with
that time there will be a gradual
coming to market" of acceptable ami
mails
