WORK OF TRAMPs
Cottages at Lake Used as .Dormitories
 by Knights of the Road.

It has come to the knowledge of cot tage owners on the south shore of AL exander's Lake that tramps have been using the pretty little summer homes as lodging houses. Entrance has been effected by breaking out the glass in the windows, after the shutters had been forced open. Evidently the prac- tice of sleeping in one of the cottages has been regular thing, as blankets brought in by the squatters were found bv the owner.
 The attention of officers has been called to the matter. This is not the first season the cottages have been broken into It seems to be the regular thing each spring.
 Milk Taken for Inspection.
 It is hinted that samples of milk from dealers who distribute the supply to Danielson consumers have been taken by the state dairy commissioner, with view to putting it to the test that will determine its purity.
 Chiidren's Day.
 Sunday will be observed as children's day at the Methodist, Congregational and Baptist churches, and special programmes have been arranged.

AFTER THETREAuLT.
Worcester Manager Invites Second
 Raseman to Tryout.

Eugene Thetreault, the crack second baseman of the Putnam Eastern Con- nectieut league team, is in receipt of letter from Manager Jesse Burkett of the Worcester New England league team inviting him to go up to Worces- ter for a tryout.
 Burkett knows what a good ball player Thetreault is from personal ob- sevation of his work and it looks like a good chance for the Putnam boy to break into faster company. He should have reported to the Worcester mana ger Wednesday. Thetreault, however, exhibits little concern about his chance to make a fast league team and has practically decided not to take a chance of climbing to baseball fame with Worcester as the stepping stone. He Is one of the best second basemen in this part of the state and his friends know he could make a success in faster company if he desired to do so.

ATTACKED BY BULL.
John Weaver of Brooklyn Injured by
 Vicious Beast.

A vicious Ayrshire bull attacked John Weaver at his farm in Brooklyn, Tuesday. MT. Weaver. who has a milk route in Danielson, was leading the bull, with a halter. from one barn to another when he was attacked. The animal butted him with his head, knocking him down repeatedly, but MT. Weaver hung on to the rope, and thereby saved himself from being trampled on. Finally he managed to escape by climbing over a wall. the bull making one final and effective plunge at him. The fact that the bull has no horns and MT. Weaver's tena- cious hold of the rope probably pre- vented a fatal termination of the in- cident. As it was, Mir Weaver was badly battered. The bull Is about three years old and was formerly own ed by Daniel Wood of the Green Hol- low road. There was a time, about two years ago, when the bull was tractable, that he was driven to a wag- on harnessed much the same as a horse, and attracted considerable at tention. Today the beast is of far less peaceful disposition.
