tree on South avenue. The hole con- tained two dozen empty bottle which had not contained Moxie and six derby hats in various stages of dila- pidation. George says: Tt seemed to me that these were the remains of the south end contingent which went to the town meeting to oppose the new road project. Ii is probable that they barred their heads in grief, drowned their sorrows in the con- tents of the bottles and wept them selves away leaving onIy the remains found AS no one has yet been re- ported missing in the South End the outcome will be awaited with inter- est.
 George Bartlett took his split bam- boo last Friday and hied himself to the depths of the swamps in Botsford where he lured from their cool and shady haunts 21 beautiful brook trout. They varied very little in size and were acknowledged to be the finest mess of trout seen in this section for years. They fish were sent to Fritz Pfau at the Amazon Cafe in Bridge port, where they were on exhibition for several hours. Those who have whipped the streams and tramped for miles looking for trout in this vicinity wonder where George Bartlett gets his fish but it may be just as we'll to say that he has speaking acquaintance with every trout in Fairfield county. MT. Bartlett reports the streams very low and the prospect for good fishing very small until a heavy rain comes.
 Sportsmen regret the fire at Pine Rock park two weeks ago when over 1000 acres of the best covers in this section were burned over. An old sportsman who went over the terri tory a few days before the fire located 15 hen cartridges which were nesting there. The place was a favorite haunt for rabbits and as the young were still too small to do much run- ming it is probable that everyone of them perished in the fire Foxes were also common in this territory but they will not be found there this fall. The ground was covered with brush, dead branches and leaves which made one of the hottest forest fires ever seen in this vicinity.
 Attention has been called to the fish way at the Derby dam which was con- structed at considerable expense to al- low the shad to reach fresh water and deposit their spawn. The fishway has grown up to brush and even trees are growing in it. But then it is hardly possible that the fish would at- tempt to pass through the poisoned water which comes down the Nauga- tuck river. "Why a crowbar would | not last 15 minutes in that acid water" said an old shad fisherman yesterday. 1

Accompanied by a few friendly words of advice he plant ed his foot on the most convenient part of the thief's anatomy and the vicinity saw him no more. MT. Brown says he thought that was better than getting out the reserves and ringing the fire bell

Bakers Union Aims To Protect
 Purity Of Bread
Demands Enforcement of Law Against Cellar Bake shops-Parade and Picnic Sunday.

Bridgeport local of the Bakery & Confectioners' Union is waging wal against cellar bake-shops and trying to have the factory inspector enforce the law in Bridgeport at several places where bakeshops are being oper- ated below ground, apparently i'll Vlo- lation of the statute.
 The factory inspector. it is under stood, takes the position that the s.bakeries'' to which the statute makes reference are only such as exist sole ly as bakeries, and do not include the bakeshop connected with hotels, res taurants, several of which are oper- ated below ground in Bridgeport.
 The local bakers cannot see the mat ter in this strictly technical light, and believe that the law is designed to pro- tect the public from unsanitary bake shops of every description. no matter whether they cater simply to a par ticular hotel or restaurant, or to the public in general.
 To call attention to the work of the union, the local bakers plan to hold a big parade next Sunday, which will precede their annual outing al Schwaebischer grove in French street
 Sanitary conditions in shops, clean 1iness of bakery products and fair working conditions for the men are the objects which the local union is striving to enforce at all times. The excellent management of the local un- ion and the fairness of its demands are attested by the fact that in the 25 years of it's existence, it has had only one important strike. That was in 1902
 The union with it's State affiliations was largely responsible for the pass age of the present sanitary bakeshop law. doing away with cellar bakeshops and unsanitary conditions, and the union men are anxious to see this law enforced for the protection of the pub lie and the safeguarding of the food supply.
 The parade will be headed by the Coast Artillery band. It twill form in front of the union hall at 176 Fair field avenue and pursue the following line of march: To Park avenue. to State street, to Main street, to Fair field avenue. to Stratfor avenue. to East Main street, to Hamilton street, to Pembroke street. to Barnum ave- nue. to Noble avenue, to Crescent avenue, to Congress street, to Middle street, to Golden Hill street, to Main, and to Schwaebischer grove.
 The officers of the upnion are as fol- lows: President, Charles Schwartz; re- cording secretary, Arno Strobe; fnan- claI secretary, Louis Beurkles; ser geant at arms. William Miller. The membership in Bridgeport numbers !0
 Members of the Central Labor Union and officers of all local unions have been invited to participate in the pa rade and picnic.
