SAFE At ASHWOOD
IS BLOWN OPEN
THE SECOND Time
IC. j. DAVIS G. CO. HAVE SECOND
EXPERIENCE DURING
THE YEAR.
LAWRtkCEBURG BLOOi HOUND:
Losses Amounted to About $1co a
Portion of Which Belonged to the
Postoffice-Checks Thrown Away
and Nothing Else Disturbed.

For the second time within less
than a year the store house of E J.
Davis & Co, at Ashwood, was the vic
tim of robbers Sunday morning about
IL o'clock, and he now has two safes
that are ont Of commission.
The robbers entered the store
through the rear door letting them
selves in with key, and the first ex-
plosion aWoke Mr.. Kinzer, who is a
member Of the firm and occupies a
residence within about forty feet of
the store. When he awoke he heard
the burglars and undertook to learn
what was going on but he had no
fire arms where he could get them
and the robbers kept light playing
on his residence to prevent his exit
without their knowledge and he was
forced to remain and allow the rob-
bers to continue their work.
Two other explosions followed at
intervals of thirty minutes, and the
robbers departed
Bleodhounds were telephoned for
and came up on the morning train
from Lawrenceburg, no one being al
lowed to enter the store until they
arrived Sheriff Goodwin and Consta
BILE Goad from here and Deputy Wal
ter Griffin from Mt. Pleasant went to
ithe scene of the robbery. The dogs
took the trail at once and followed
some little distance, and it was by fol
lowing the dogs that bundle OF
checks that we're in the safe were
found about hundred yards away
from the store. But on account o1
the heavy rain fall the dogs soon lost
THE trail and the chase was abandon
Led.
The robbers secured approximately
$500 in cash, $40 belonging to the
} postoffice funds. Nothing in the store
was disturbed or missed with the ex
oeption of few bottles which hae
contained cold drinks were empty.
Heavy irons were used to knock of
J the combination knob of the safe and
through that hole in the front the ex
uaosives were put into fhesafe. II wal

On the night OF February 9th thu
safe at this store was blown opel
under very similar circumstances, th'
Irobters made entrance to the store
n the same way, took the same
course on their departure and dis
lgoreed the paper that they did moi
want within few feet Of the same
place. Mr.. Kinzer. however, is mo-
much inclined to the opinion that Il

ary there was about $500 secured
This time 1t was only q little more
THAR half that amount.
There was no clue left to indicate
who the parties were nor how many
were in the gang, but Mr.. Kinzel
: thinks there were perhaps as many
as three, and lie is certain that there
were two.

Circus day has been almost from the beginning of time itself set holi- day in Bridgeport This year the ia
 nous Ringing Brothers in arranging their route have beat the 4th of July to celebration by three days in the stretch. While there won't be any fireworks, today is all the red glare gleam. gold and glitter. horses and
 hurrah and spangies and sawdust that the biggest circus in the world can | make it.
 | Along about the time that the first crocus shows it's yellow head in the
 home cultured flower bed. accompan- fed by the desire to go fishing there comes to all that class of humanity, who have red blood in their veins a feeling that at first makes them think it, is the spring fever. The first self conducted diagnosis shows it to be the old red wagon fever, which first strikes us i'll the days of bare feet and preserve plastered bread when we first led the spotted ponies down to the town creek for water. The fever is now at it's height and the crowded streets today show that there Is no stopping of the circus epidemic until the Ringing Brothers have folded | with all the moving equipment of arenic greatness, and gone to the next town. Bridgeport has always given the famous five brothers circus an affectionate and enthusiastic recep- ton. The greeting of today which started with the arrival of the first train showed no abatement in their regard for these great showmen and their big show.
 Long before night had collided with morning the first yellow train of the circus pulled into Bridgeport, bringing with it the cook tent, the kitchen, and its people, all of the animals, and sufficient horses to draw these wagons to the grounds. Already on the lot waiting produce, and provender for all of this big collection of people, horses and beasts, who make up the Babel like population of the canvas city of Ringlingville.
 The steward has just about 1,2so souls and stomachs to satisfy and he spent all of yesterday shopping in the Bridgeport markets. By daylight all of the cooking equipment was up and breakfast was ready on the neatly ar ranged and cleanly linened tables. All of the cooking this year is done by steam while there are also bake ovens for the cake makers. It is estimated that it costs over $2,000 a day to run this moving hotel, which is always ready with an appetizing menu for people and performers after they have left the sleelers. As an instance of how much it takes to go round in this big family one of the items for this mornings breakfast was 4,500 griddle cakes, while there was enough coffee to float an armored cruiser. Follow ing the erection of these tents, came the putting up the horse top where Spencer Delevan, the boss hostler, keeps his 6S0 fine equine specimens

John M. Murphy, inventor of the aeroplane which the Bridgeport Aero nautic company is constructing for a ross-continental flight, has purchas- ed Curtiss bi-plane, which is now enroute to this city. and he will take lessons in aerial navigation from Aviator J. A. D. McCurdy. |.
 MT. Murphy feels assured, as do others who have viewed the model of his machine. that he has an inven- tion which is far ahead of the ordi- nary type of aeroplane from the point of view of stability and safety; at the same time he does not wish to risk disaster through lack of experience and for that reason will learn to navi- gate the ordinary type of Curtis aero- plane before attempting the initial trip in his own.
 It is expected that the biplane will arrive shortly and MT. Murphy will practice at his own aerodrome, locat- ed between this city and Milford
 MT. Murphy's principal packer is Congressman James McDermott, one of Chicago's Representatives in the National House Congressman Mc- Dermott has awakened the interest of the War department in the Murphy aeroplane and the government aero- nautic experts have promised to take 12 of the Bridgeport mans Inventions, as soon as the flyer is proved suc- cessful.

 The highwaymen apparently were a couple of men down on their luck, as they assured their victim. They took all the cash they could find, but they returned MT. MacAlpine's gold watch when he told them that it was a gift watch and valued very highly by him.

Dangling SpiIe
 Forty Feet Long
 Tells Henderson

Charles Henderson, an iron worker, employed with gang demolishing the Naugatuck dock, was felled by a 40 foot pile dangling from a. big pile driver of the New Haven road, at g o'clock this morning.
 Henderson was pinned to the deck of the driver, and when fellow work men hauled the heavy timber off he was unable to arise. His legs were apparently helpless, and for a time it was feared his back was broken.
 While the ambulance was speeding to the water front. the other men got him up on the dock by means of a small boat. Dr. Krause could not find any apparent injury other than the trouble with his limbs, and fearing a spinal injury when he heard the na- ture of the accident, he took Tender son to the Bridgeport hospital.
 It was said late this afternoon that there had been no further evidence of spinal injury, but that internal injur- ies were suspected. Had Henderson caught the full force of the blow he would have been instantly killed
 Henderson Is 31, married, and lives at S2 Lee avenue.
