HORSE IS VICTIM OF MAIN STREET
 PAVING DELAYS

Al horse hitched to Hickey Express wagon, driven by August Sweeney of 415 Lafayette street, caught it's rear right hoof in a, hole of the pavement in the frog of a track in front of the Rowland Dry Goods Conpany's store about noon today The horse fell oyer and broke its leg near the hoof. The hoof was wedged into the frog of the track so firmly that it was necessary to get a rope fastened to it and so release it. The horse was taken to the Martin and Atkins veterinary hos pital at Elm and Broad streets. It may be necessary to shoot it before the day is over.
 There was absolutely no warning placed in the street to protect drivers of vehicles. One or two men were working about the holes but there was no warning for pedestrians.
 The horse lay directly across the south bound track for several minutes waiting for the horse ambulance. Fin ally, after the poor animal had been pulled and hauled it rose to it's feet with a groan and stood on three legs. Several spectators demanded that the horse be shot and put out of it's suf- fering, but Sergeant Began said there would be no shooting without an order from the owner Of the horse.
 The holes were quickly filled up with cement and small stone. The wonder is that with the deplorable conditions of the streets more accidents of this nature have not happened.

NEITHER TEAM
 ABLE TO SCORE

The Starlights of Naugatuck and the Thunderbolts again battled to a no score tie game yesterday at Steeple- chase Island, repeating their perform ance of a week ago in Naugatuck. The first of the first period was all Naugatuck, but when they were ad- vanced far into the local field they lost the ball on downs. The Thunderbolts by constant line bucking and open play advanced the ball to the Starlight ten yard line. Here a forward pass was attempted, but Kecko of the local fum- bled, a visitor picking up the pigskin and rushing it to the center of the field where he was downed. Time was called with the ball in the Thunderbolt territory.
 Right at the start of the second half Captain Hallopin of the Thunderbolts on the kick off rushed the ball back for 35 yards. It became evident that both teams could not seem to get by the other so the bunting game was re- sorted to. Neither had the advantage. Time was called with the ball in the Thunderbolt's possession in the center of the field.

Not Afraid.

Personal courage invests its owner with a protection beyond that afforded by outside forces. An illustration of this is recorded by General William F. Draper in his "Recollections ot Va ried Career" where he gives this in cident:
 In 1864 Colonel Daniels of tue Sev- enth Rhode Island became unpopular with some of his command, and a rumor spread that he would be. shot at the next engagement. He heard cf it. It was customary when guns had been loaded for some time to have them discharged into some convenient bank, and Colonel Daniels took advan- tage of this Marching his regiment out with loaded rifles. he faced them toward a suitable elevation, and, talk ing position on the top of it and in front of them as at dress parade, he gave the commands. "Readyv "Aim' Fire" and the pieces were discharg- ed.
 Needless to say, any man could have shot him with little danger of discov- cry, and, needless to say. also, none of them did. There were no more threats of that kind in his regiment.
