Killed Mad Dog

A mad dog was killed in Rockville, early Sunday morning. by Officers Donovan and Say, after an exciting time. AS Officer Donovan stood at the Sill corner, a big shepherd dog began to snap at his dog and finally chased the animal into the Memorial building. Officer Donovan followed, and as tn e dog ran into the lavatory he closed the door and immediately attacked the mad dog with his night stick. The dog turn. ed on him, but he managed to beat him
 if by repeated hammering over the head with the night stick. Officer Say. hearing the fracas, went to MT. Dono- vans assistance. They kept the animal at bay until it finally slunk into a corner, snapping and snarling. One of the men then drew a revolver and shot it. The dog belonged to Frederick Hirth, who lives just over the city line in the town of Ellington. It is said that the animal has recently bitten three or four persons. It has been away from home for several weeks past.

STUPENUOUS FIGURES

Telephone Grows From a Toy to a Billion Dollar, Proposition. Telephone statistics run into such high figures that, like the arithmetic of as- tronomy, they are scarcely TO be compre headed by the average person. When the telephone statisticians begin to talk in billions, as they honestly can, they cease to be intelligible their data are collections of symbols. @s'
 America leads the entire world in the use of the telephone. Europe comes next. Thirty-seven years ago the tele- phone was one of the 'toys'' of the Gen. tennlal Exposition. Its inventor was shabby; he was so poor that he had to borrow his railroad fare to Philadelphia :; his invention was so little regarded that the best place he could get for his dis play was deal table n an obscure cor. ner of the great show But for the ac- cident that gave him Dom Pedro. of Brazil, as an interested visitor, Bell aud his ''toy" might not have been noticed by the jury of awards at all, impatient as he was to get back to hIs other work in Boston. +s
 Now the "toy" is the foundation of billion dollar enterprise. There were more than 26,O0O, ,OOO connections day between a total of 7.bOO. .OOOy telephones, in round figures gain of more than 80, 900 installations over the year before. And 1913 is showing the same tremen. dous increase.
 In our own State of Connecticut, the home of the first Commercial Exchange in the world, the increase 1n the number of stations installed has kept pace with the rest of the country. On January 1st, 1913 there were 1889 telephones actually in service. On August 1st, this figure had been increased to 107, ,59l, an increase of 5,052 telephones in seven months. These, based on the average of calls per day for each telephone, represent over S0.000 added calls per day for every day in, the year.
 The 'toy" has become a necessity in the social and commercial life of the state and country. It plays it's part and performs its functions for every busi- ness. every home, every individual. A little more than a generation ago it was unknown; today linking all parts of the nation into a single community of speech, it is universal.

BIG CAMP FIRE DAY
Wangum Girls Entertain LakevilIe and
 Salisbury Sisters.

Wangum Girls Entertain LakevilIe and
 Salisbury Sisters.
 Saturday was 8 great day for the WsnRum Camp Fire Girls and their sis ter girls of Lakeville and Salisbury, whom they entertained here. About 85 of the Wangum girls turned out for the afternoon and took part in the rites and ceremonies of their order, on the spa cious grounds of the E. V. Nestell place, on the East Canaan road. which was the scene of gay. pretty and lively doings during the afternoon.
 The visiting girls were met at the de. pot with autos and carriages at noon, and transported to the Nestell reserva- tion. There were about as many visit ors as home girls. and the combined group, in their Indian costume and with their hair hanging in two large braids, made picturesque appearance.
 The guardians were Mrs. Nestell and Mrs. Bullock with the Wsngum girls. and Miss Adele Norton and Miss Lois Warner with the visiting girls.
 The program of the afternoon pro- vided for various games and contests, including tennis, oroquet, ring. toss, beanbags, and most exciting game of baseball which afforded no end of enjoy ment for the beholders and was won by the Lakeville girls with the impressive score of s2 to 8, in seven innings.
 After the games picnic supper was served, to which all did full justice.
 The ceremony of lighting the camp fire was watched with interest-the wood -gatherers gathered the wood, and the fre-mskers made the fire and 1t was all very imposing and interesting. The guardians were in evidence everywhere, looking after details, keeping the pro- gram going, and making 1t pleasant for the 30 or 40 visiting ladies who attend. ed to witness the interesting ceremonies.
 The "Wohelo' call was given by the girls as they sat around the camp fire enjoying the picnic supper.
 There were just 105 persons present during the afternoon.
 The guardians desire to extend thanks to the ladies who assisted in making the affair success. and to the automobile owners who donated their vehicles for the occasion.
 It is planned to have another union gathering ofthe same kind at LakevilIe in the near future.

A SAVAGE TURTLE.
FiftY-pound Crustacean Upset Boat and Nearly Drowned Captors.

Fifty-pound Crustacean Upset Boat and Nearly Drowned Captors.
 Norman Rice and ills son, Doe" liv- ing near the camp ground, had an ad- venture, Friday night, which they are not likely to forget. They were out on the Housatonic river. in steel boat be- longing to parties at Pine Grove. At the point where they were flshing--about opposite the Robert Little place-the banks of the stream are high and the water deep. The night was pitch dark, and they had lantern in the boat
 They had ordinary fishermen's luck un- til they got hold of monster snapping turtle. which, from all accounts. must have been the grandfather of all snap ping turtles and would weigh not an ounce less than fifty pounds. By dint of strenuous work they lifted it into the boat. It was an ugly reptile, and snap ped at it's captors viciously, once giving Norman Rice bad bite in the hand while he was reasoning with it with a club About the time the turtle was be- ing subdued the boat tipped over and' being constructed of steel, it immediate
 ly sank to the bottom of the river. So did the turtle, the fish, the lantern and everything else that was sinkable. Nor man started that way himself, being un- able to swim. but Doc, who conld swim, managed to grab him, in the pitchy dark ness. but Norman hugged his son and would be rescuer in such an affeotionate embrace that he jeopardized the lives of both. Doc loosened his daddy's grip, however. and got him in tow. Then the real struggle began. In the inky black ness of the night Doc was unable to see the shore on either side. and couldn't have landed if he had, as the steep banks were too high. and he was unable to dis tinguish' directions or know for sure whether he was working up stream, down. stream or across. It was desper. ate situation, but by good luck and hard. steady work, he finally made precari- ous landing some distance below where the spill occurred, and was completely exhausted when he brought his father to land.
 The boat was subsequently, rescued, but the big turtle is still at liberty in it's native element.
