SHE WAS HIT
 IN THE EYE BY
 A CHURCH BELL
So She Had the Bell Ringer Ar rested and Brought Into
 City Court This Morning

To be hit in the eye with church bell was the novel accident that be- fell Mary Crushak of 56S Crescent ave- nue, according to the testimony in the city court, this morning. She had Michael Pulchik arrested on an as- sault charge for hitting her With said bell
 How this remarkable mishap came about was explained to the court at length through an interpreter.
 Tt seems that it is an old custom among Slavish people for certain among them to dress up in various fanciful costumes during the Christ mas season, and to call from house to house, soliciting little contributions.
 One of the party carries miniature church. Another carries a little church bell which he rings continuous ly.
 r. The church and the bell made their appearance at a party Christmas night at which Mary Crushak was present. The bell ringer, growing exuberant and careless, swung the bell over his shoulder and hit her in the eye, giv- ing her a splendid ringer" as a me mento from the bell
 The enthusiastic bell ringer pleaded that it was an accident. Judge Will der sentenced him to pay fine of BIO.

foxhounds might be confined except during the season for hunting foxes. Since the increase in the p.ice of skunk skins, the skunks have been so hunted that their numbers have been greatly reduced.
 One of the great enemies Of the game bird is the skunk. Since there has been decrease in the number of skunks throughout New England there has developed an increase in part ridges. The game laws are doing mut h to increase the game on account of certain sections being protected to the extent that they show a marked in- crease.
 "Wild geese and wild ducks have been raised with great success. Pre- viOuS to the Revolution deer were here by the thousands. I can remember of MT. Thrall of Poquonock telling me that in an attic of a log house in that place, the space was practically filled with deer horns. When the solCfer boys returned from the Revolutionary War with quantities of ammunition and good guns the deer were soon anni- Inflated. In the nineties, deer began to be frequently seen in Connecticut. They have increased so that in many parts of the state deer are seen every day. The wDodchoppars are killing many ceer. They seem to be as much an enemy to the deer as the wolves are in Wisconsin and Minnesota. 1 "It has been suggested by several Hartford people that the park board get one or two pair of elk, since cities of the size of Hartford whose park systems are not equal to those of Hartford have elk, and they are quite attra aotive.

ARNOLD FUNERAL
 FRIDAY MORNING
Widespread Grief Occasioned by Demise of Estimable Young
 Business Man

The funeral of Former Senator Thomas Arnold, Jr., whose death at St. Vincents hospital yesterday brought grief to a host of friends his home, IFS Coleman street, at 9:30 and St. Augustine's church at 10 o'clock Friday morning with solemn high mass of requiem.
 The death of Senator Arnold was not unexpected. For several days almost hourly there were ~unfounded rumors that his end had come. Yet despite his critical condition, he retained con- sciousness and was able to converse good naturedly with his attendants and the members of his immediate family. almost to the end. None side after his second operation last Friday.
 Born in New York city, November g. 1878, the son of Thomas and Bridget Murphy Arnold, he spent practically all his life in this city, coming here with his parents, in 1881. He was the only child. He secured his education in the public schools and after grad- uating from the Bridgeport high school he entered upon the profession of architecture.
 It was in this calling that he re- ceived what he always believed to be the injury that caused him trouble necessitating the operation Several associates laid hold of him in a friend- ly wrestling bout, and in the struggle he was forced against the edge of a table He gave way under the com bined pressure of his fellows and as he fell backward on the table his back was severely wrenched. Occasionally he felt occurrences of this injury and he believed that this occasioned the trouble that led to two opera tions upon his kidney last week.
 At an early age he was interested Tn the manufacture of metal novelties. Shortly after his marriage in 1901 he became associated with his father in the Arnold Coal Go. Even before he attained his majority he displayed a keen interest in politics.
 With an exceptionally widespread personal following, he was elected to the Common Council from the strong ly Democratic Seventh district His fearlessness and -partisanship in municipal matters won him election to the State Senate in 1909. As Sen- ator he was chairman of the commit tee on finance and also of the com- nittee on constitutional amendments Mr. Arnold was prominently men. toned as a mayoral possibility in the

ENEMIES OF GAME
Skunks and Foxes Are Great Destroyers - Hun garian Cartridges Proved Unprofitable Experiment Man Who Raises Deer Saw a Big Elk.

George Mitchelson of Tarifville was talking to reporter this week on the topic of game in Connecticut. It was a somewhat long and very Interesting talk by a man who has been associat- ed with animals and birds for years. He said:-
 "A beautiful, three-year-old male elk appeared a week ago Friday in the yard of one who belongs to the Order of Elks. Where this one came from we cannot tell, unless it was from Yer mont Or the Adirondack Mountains. It, is the only one that there is any account of having been seen here. Twenty people saw it, among them being Detective Sergeant Lewis G.Mel- berger and James Goodwin, The elk is still in the woods of North Bloom field. James Goodwin saw him first.
 Of the three crates of Hungarian cartridges which were let loose by the state, a fair estimate would be that one-half died before they got into shape to take care of themselves. They were released last spring. Three coveys were raised and they were fre- quently seen during the summer. Since the hunting season opened. they have entirely disappeared. The general opinion of the people Is that the rear ing of Hungarian cartridges by the state is not practical.
 Quail or Mongolian pheasants are particularly adapted to New England. Many game people dislike the Mon golian pheasants, since it is claimed that the male pheasants destroy the male cartridges, for they are very vii cious. A gentleman who has a game preserve in North Bloomfield has raised ring-necked pheasants each year for the past few years, to turn loose. He has given it up for the reason that persons whom he naturally expected to protect the pheasants made it a point to kill those which were turned loose for propagation purposes. There never has been time in the past fifty years when gray squirrels have been as plentiful as they were. this year. This is accounted for by their being protected on certain properties, and 1t is the common custom now in many towns to protect the squirrels in cer- tain sections.
 "In Simsbury they are protected in the center. In North Bloomfield there are two places where they are pro- tected. There is no doubt but that if B reasonable bounty is put upon foxes, enough so that the foxes may be anni- Inflated, there will be plenty of game for the sportsman, such as rabbits, quail and cartridges. There are four teen distinct varieties of foxes. If the state will spend as much money on the propagation of quail as it has on the Hungarian partridge, a great deal of profit will result.

plans of the men in the enterprise, who would soon have the villa site a fine botanical garden.
 In connection with the park, the plan would be carried still further by the building of first class hotel, with restaurant, bathing facilities and oth- CT conveniences to make it first class seashore hostelry. There would be garage, and other conveniences to make the hotel an ideal resort for people from inland Connecticut cit ies.
 All this section, including the hotel and villas would be set apart from the public park, with suitable dis (tance intervening to insure the ten- ants with privacy. MT. Gallagher be- lieves that the temperature condition at the island, it's incessant sound breezes and its close proximity to the city combine to make it an ideal spot for this sort of enterprise.
 Don't tell the people of Bridgeport that I'm going to do anything-yet,' '' said MT. Gallagher, discussing his plans with Farmer reporter today. I'm here simply to look over the ground, to talk to people, get their opinions, and then to decide whether we want to go ahead with this pro- ject. If we decide favorably, then we'll give the people of Bridgeport just as much in the amusement line dS they WdHI, dHQ IT we auOpL the villa plan, we'll give the people just as much Or as little as they want. We're here to please the people,
 MT. Gallagher believes that the Isl- and possesses big real estate possibili- ties. But pending the development of these assets, he believes that the place is ideal for a continuance of the amusement features. He believes that the transportation facilities are in- adequate, that the trolley cars must run down into the Island and that there is a Likelihood that the restora- tion of the long since abandoned boat service from the city to the island will be an inviting feature.
 While the terms of the transaction between MT. Tilyou and MT. Gal lagher are not disclosed, it is under stood that Mir. Gallagher has consid. erable leeway as to time, to con. tinue his investigations into the con- ditions of Steeplechase Island.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1911-12-27

George c. Tilyou, lessee of Steeple- chase Island has given a waiver upon his purchase privilege to number of men represented by w. L. Gallagher, dealer, who is Investigating local con- ditions before closing the deal. The island is owned by Mrs. Fannie Me- Mahon and the heirs of John H. Me- Mahon.
 Mir. Gallagher is associated in diff ferent ventures with a number of leading figures of the amusement world, and if he decided to take hold of Steeplechase Park, he is in a posi- tion to run 1t upon thoroughly up to date lines with the best of attrac- tions.
 The purpose of his deal with Mir. Tilyou is not primarily to conduct an amusement enterprise, but for the real estate possibilities of the Island. But pending the development of this feature of the deal, the project of con- tinuing an amusement park upon lines that will attract patronage has appealed to him and his associates as good business.
 MT. Gallagher who has visited the city several times lately, admitted to- day that the negotiations had pro- gressed so far that he has taken an option on the purchase privilege held by MT Tilyou. He says very frank " ludL IIc IS IlOt yCt III d QOSlllOtl to make 8 complete statement of his plans for the reason that his plans are not yet made.
 In the discussion of the possibilities of the Island however the plan that has appealed most forcibly to MT. Gal lagher is that of setting apart that section on the extreme east of the Isl- and, up to the lofty division fence, as an exclusive villa site. MT. Gall lagher believes this is a project that will meet with enthusiastic co-opera- tion in the. city.
 The scheme is to erect one or two hundred villas, modelled on lines em- bodyipg both grace and utility, built all of poured concrete so that the sec- tion will be absolutely fireproof, pro- vide them with every sanitation and all the modern improvements.
