When Paul j. Rainey, the American
portsman, took pack of American
dogs with him into the wilds of British
East Africa on his hunting trip of a
little over year ago. he was laughed at
by all hisfriends. and by every sports
man who had ever hunted in that part
of the world.
Hunters who had grown old in Jungle
lore ridiculed the idea that dogs could
run to earth the wild beasts of that
country. 1t was freely predicted that if
ever the dogs attacked lion, the "Klng
Of Beats would make quick work of
them.
But Mr.. Rainey perseyered in his in
tentiOn, and those who witness the mo-
tion pictures of the Paul j. Rainey's
African Hunt, which will be shown at
the Turner opera house, both matinee
and night on Thursday, Feb. 20, will see
his American dogs pursue and kill a
cheetah, or hunting leopard, as well as
fearlessly pitch into liOness with as
much abandon as if they were harassing
a domestic cat.
1t ie said that these are but two Of the
many thrilling incidents which occurred
during Mr.. Rainey's hunting trip and
which were preserved for the delectation
of American theatregoers through the
courage and patience of expert photo
eraphers which Mr.. Rainey had the
foresight to take along with Inn.

TO CONDEMN LAND
 FOR ADDITION TO COUNTY COURTHOUSE

Papers were filed in the superior court today in proceedings brought by the County of Fairfield to con demn land on Golden Hill street in order to provide a site for an addi- ton to the county court house. The land which the county wishes con- dernned is known as the Hall Home. It adjoins the court house on the west and has a frontage of feet on Golden Hill street. Its northern boundry is g feet in length, it is 19O feet on the east and 237 feet on the west.
 The proceedings. which are entirely of a friendly nature, were brought against the Corporation of Associated Charities of Industrial Relief and the Bridgeport Protestant Orphan Asy- IuTn, which own the property. The county commissioners some time ago voted to buy the plot because the need of more room in the court house is imperative. The county asks the court to appoint three appraisers to fix the value of the property.
