 Question of Police Protection-Turney Resting WelILCrusack Better l. High Tide at the Beach - Personal Notes.
 If the town wishes for better police protection, as some seem to think, the only way to get it is for the citizens in town meeting to vote an appropria- ton for the pay of one or more police | men, and establish a small police de- partment, giving the force the power l to make arrests when there appears to be good cause. As a rule the town is peaceful and law abiding. The state automobile speeders and to get evil dence concerning illegal selling of | liquors. but ordinarily they 'are not called upon to look after petty of fences. | It was reported at the Turney resi- dence yesterday noon that MT. Turney was resting well, and was 'better.
 The Nagy family claims that MT. Tur- l ney was the aggressor on Saturday evening, and that he at least pointed | a double barreled shot gun at Mrs.
 Nagy. The husband undertook to | take the gun from Mr. Turney, and
 the alleged assault resulted. MT. Nagy | has the gun in his possession. MT. | Reyes, who is the bondsman for Nagy, and his brother-in-law, called in Dr.
 James B. Hair, of Bridgeport, on Mon | day to examine MT. Turney, and thus | secure his opinion of the case if his | testimony should ever be needed in I court.
 MT. John Crusack, who was brushed | off his car a day or two ago, at point
 near Hard's corner, in Stratford, by a | passing automobile, and was brought | home, is to-day able to be out and | about town. He had a close call as he was picked up unconscious. but his injuries are not as severe as at first anticipated.
 While there was an uncommonly
 high tide yesterday, and the breakers
 came rolling in upon the beach in a l majestic and rather startling manner, not much damage was done. A num- Der of .skiffs were blown upon the shore, and it is reported that a steam | launch was wrecked. The water
 dashed under some of the cottages
 and at place near Wakeman's cot tage, the water was running over the
 new beach road. Below Little Bridge port, the sea was running over the
 beach in fine style. Teams were busy yesterday carting railroad ties with which to fill up the holes in the road II made by the waves. Not much dam II age was done in town. A large maple tree which stood in the rear of the
 Boyle pharmacy, was badly wrecked,
 and in some instances the corn fields
 suffered from the wind.
