CIRCUS HORSE
 TRIED TO STEAL
 RIDE IN WAGON
Ran Away and Then Jump ed Into Outfit Pulled by Fellow Animal.

That Charles F.. c. Atkins, D. V. s., is the owner of a horse whose propen- sities for circus stunts have only re- gently come to light, was disclosed in an unusual suit brought before Jus t1ce George F. Mara and returna ble for trial on the last day of this month.
 In the suit it is alleged that Dr. Atkins horse ran away9a few days ago. and breaking loose from his car r1age. ran out Clinton avenue and LID Easton turnpike, overhauling the team of John Bumberli, we'll known Plattsville blacksmith.
 It was not at all strange that the runaway should over;ake Bunberia' s horse, which was jogging homewards at an easy pace. But that the ami maj should leap up into the wagon and try to steal @ ride is the most striking feature of the whole incident.
 Bumberia's counsel, Attorney J. R. Beecher. alleges that the veterinarians horse in his leap into the rear of Bum berfa's outfit, damaged the wagon; that the shock threw the peacea bIe horse forward so violently as to in- ture one of its forelegs. and that Bum beria himself was badly shaken up. Damages of s75 are sought.

 WEDDING AT 66
Rev. C.. w. Peterson of This City and Milford to Wed Flatbush, l.. l., Woman.

After a separation of nearly 50 years, the Rev. G. W. Peterson, aged 66, a retired minister of this city will be married on next Tuesday afternoon to the sweetheart of his boyhood days, Mrs. Adelaide P. Beardsley, also 66 years old, of 215 Winthrop street. Flat bush, L. I. The approaching wedding was kept secret until relatives dis covered the license yesterday.
 MT. Peterson, who for some time has resided near Beard's corner, Mil ford, has a number of relatives in this vicinity and is well known throughout Bridgeport.
 Mrs. Beardsley was born in Bridge port. The Petersons lived next door. Being of the same age the children became fast friends and many a tear was shed when the now Mrs. Boards ley moved to New York with her fathers family. She was then 1S,. Mr. Peterson studied for the ministry and after being ordained married in Bridge port. His old friend hearing nothing of him decided their love was but a childhood dream and it was not long before she became Mrs. Beardsley. For nearly 50 years neither heard from the other.

PRICE OF MILK
 REDUCED EARLY
 QUARTER OF CENT
Especial to the Farmer !

IT.
 Reddlng, March 23-What effect the invasion of Bridgeport by the Borden MIX Co. is having and is likely to nave In regard to Bridgeport's de- mand for milk produced in this sec ton, was one of the topics discussed at the meeting of the Crescent Milk Producers Association, last Saturday. The Borden Go. obtains the milk it sells In Bridgeport from comparative- ly distant points and the natural ten- dency of its competition would be a restriction of the market for milk made in Redding and Easton. So far however, such an effect has not been appreciably apparent, the only mani fiesta ton of 1t being a general ureing on the part of Bridgeport individual retailers for a shading off in the price of the milk furnished them. For this reason the Crescent Association noted on Saturday to fix the price for Apri! at AZ cents. The winter price was 4& and a reduction from the winter sale does not usually go into effect until May 1. For May and June the Association price is to be 3K cents and for the three succeeding months 3A The Borden Co.,. has made it's sum- mer price to producers cents per quart delivered at stations. Local producers are apprehensive that Ror- den competition may have an increas- ing tendency towards lower prices and say that if this process goes far it means production at a loss

LOVE CHATS BY WIRE RELIEVE
 JAIL TEDIUM
Giant Hotel Clerk Hill Promoted
 to be Bookkeeper Telephones
 to Sweetheart Often
Result is Neglected Work and
 He is Sent Back to Sla; h Hides With Other Prisoners

Stone walls do not a prison make, nor iron bars a cage, especially when there is a telephone connection inside the place of incarceration. It took sherman K. Hill the absconding giant clerk of the Atlantic hotel, only a short time to find out the soundness of the sentiment in the above poetic thought, when he was thrust into the Fairfield County Jail for eight months.
 Hill is an excellent penman, familiar with bookkeeping and a good corre- spondent. Frank Clark, the former bor, came to the conclusion that Hill was not being used to his highest eff hciency at the work bench. So he promoted Hill from the menial task of hewing leather into shape for shoes and gave him place in his office.
 Hills downfall it may be recalled, was partially due to his infatuation for one Cora Stuntz. alias Pearl Day ton, an alunna of the Connecticut School for Girls who has been an only partially concealed luminary of the gay life of the city. They e1oped and were captured in Wash ngton, D. C., with nearly $1 GOO of the cash taken from the Atlantic hotel.
 When Hill grew accustomed to the desk in the workshop of the jail, he began using the telephone. Frequently he got into communication with Cora, whispered sweet nothings into the tranSrnitter, and assured her that when he came out he would love her with every inch of his six-feet, seven body and soul.
 Not only that. Hill developed a grave suspicion while in jail that Pearl might forget him. He called up his friends around town to get line on her conduct. And so fre- quently did he telephone that the bookkeeping of the jail workshop, went all to the bad Mr. Clark started to audit his books one day, and found them in such condition that he order ed the lanky clerk to get back to the workbench in jig time. So Sherman is now welding knife upon the hides of departed beasts with only the thought of Pearls affection to cheer him through his hours of gloom.
