The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1911-06-28
Taminu a Tioer,

''It is nothing but kindness that makes animals really tame," said a trainer. ''All the terrible accidents that used to occur so frequently to trainers and tanners were due to the fact that the animals had been cowed and not won by kindness. 1 remem- Der a savage Bengal tiger which was sent to me from Calcutta some years ago. When he arrived he was. in g state of fury and rage and for several days would fly at me whenever I ap preached his cage. I paid him daily visit, purring as I approached, which was like speaking his own language and he gave up gradually his furious greeting. After a week I took a piece of meat at each visit, for the way tC the heart is through the stomach, anc that does not apply to tigers alone At the end of four weeks could touch him, and three months later he ha6 quite realized that no one wanted tt hurt him and used to come quietly tt the bars to be Stroked each day"
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1911-06-28

There is Distant" or cautionary semaphore signal for track 2 located about 1,470 feet west of the Fairfield tower. This is also operated by the person in charge of the Fairfield tow CT, and when set against a train, in- dicates that the engineer must get his train under control. When there is a clear track all lights show green.
 A red light in the semaphore is a Stop" signal, and a yellow light !n the Distant" signal is Caution" The semaphore arms when in hori- zontal position indicate stop, except as a Distant" signal which implies caution, and when down read clear. The light in the Distant" signal was burning, but that at the home signal was out. The rules of the road, which every engineer must know, read:
 ''The absence of a signal at a place where a signal is usually shown, must be regarded as a stop signal
 The location of signals must also be known by engineers.
 When Brace had gone between l. 500 and 1,800 feet east of the Fair field tower, his train came to a stop from some trouble with the air brakes. He was delayed there long enough for the conductor, Oliver Huff, to walk slowly from the caboose to the engine and part way back. A flagman by the name of Michael R. Walsh was sent back from said train to flag any which might be following on the same track He states that he went back until the Tight shone on me that surrounds the depot"
 Walsh says that he was out away from the train about fifteen or twen- ty minutes when he was called in, and other witnesses state that they heard the engineer signal two differ ent times for Walsh to come in. As hn fo+A t,z placed two torpedoes one rail length apart on the engineers side of track
 Mrs. Alfred s. Perry testified that she heard two torpedoes exploded about 11:S0 o'clock that night. and that they sounded to me as though it might be just the other side of Warehouse trestle,'' which is be- tween 1000 and 1,400 feet west of the rear of Extra 33S" as it stopped first.
 Harry Stamford, a substitute opera tor, who was temporarily employed at the Main street tower Tn Bridgeport. went into the Fairfield tower at about 11:20 o'clock that evening.
 Stamford says that as he went into salo tower, noticed that the signal on both track 2 and 4 were in the Stop position" and that the lights were out but that he could see the arms against the sky background. This tower is 20 feet west of the semaphore at Fairfield star1on. He reported to Percy W. Drown, the operator there. that the lights were out, ana he replied that he knew it. It is the duty of the section foreman to keep the lights burning.
 stamford also states that upon go- ing into the tower he looked over the levers and noticed that they were m the normal position, and correspond ca With the position of the signals on the tower which were set at danger or Stop" which would also indicate that they were in good working con dition.
