HOSE COMPANY MINISTRIES
Important Business Transacted at
 Firemen's Annual Meeting.

Important Business Transacted al Firemen's Annual Meeting. 4
 The annual meeting of Canaan Hose Company No. was held at the hose house, Thursday evening, and 29 out of the total of 30 members were present. The election of officers for the ensuing year resulted as follows:
 Foreman, Frank A. Whiting.
 First assistant foreman, A. l.. Higgins.
 Second assistant foreman, F. M. Brewer.
 President, Freeman Dempsey.
 Vice President, J. O. Roraback.
 Secretary, Allyn Fuller.
 Treasurer, O. T. Vosburgh.
 House committee, l.. J. Streck, J. O. Roraback, Leonard Caldwell.
 Auditing committee, Messrs. Whit ing, ,Hugins and Brewer.
 The matter of changing the date of the annual firemen's tournament of the Harlem Valley Firemen's Association which is to be held in Canaan next year was discussed. This tournament has always been held on Labor Day, in Sep tember, and it is planned, if the other associations will agree to it, to change the date to the Fourth of July, change which seems to have many arguments to recommend it.
 The subject of minstrel shown dur ing the coming winter was taken up and considered, and as the discussion was mainly favorable to the project, it is probable that such a performance will be given. The minstrel shows given by the Canaan Hose Company have heretofore been enjoyable features of the amusement season, and proved profitable for the company treasury. There is exceptionally good minstrel talent in the company, and the towns people are always ready to show their appreciation of it.
 l, It was reported that the new fire alarm system would be ready fer install lation in about two weeks.
 Refreshments were served after the meeting.

"That's the way this road is doing things these days" said the Major to an admiring passenger. "If the patrons of this road don't get value received for their money, in ser vice, security and comfort, they're mighty hard to please, that's all.' And the admiring passenger didn't say him nay.

 and Team Runs Away.
 Thursday evening at about o'clock, as H. E. Lyles was returning from the Power Company's office to his home, in his auto, on reaching point opposite the Charles Butcher place the glare of another auto apparently coming rapidly from the east, blinded him for the moment, and he steered off to the right to avoid the on-coming machine. AS he had not lighted his own lamps, for the short run, and it was dusk, he failed to notice that just ahead of him was a heavy lumber wagon, east. bound, driven by Frank Roster, employed in hauling lumber for the Canaan Lumber Com pany, and the result was. he ran against the wagon with such force as to knock off two men riding on the rear 'end-Stephen Rassigi and Carlo Lou retti-bent the axle of his auto and broke the fender.
 The men were not seriously injured though Rassigi complained the next day of being considerably lame.
 The shock frightened the horses, which started to run away, but were brought under control by the driver. The auto was taken to the Brewer garage for repairs.

DEADLY DEER FIGHT
Injured 200 Pound Buck Had to be
 Killed to End Misery.

Injured 200 Pound Buck Had to be
 Killed to End Misery.
 The machinery of the Connecticut game laws were invoked Thursday morning to put 200 pound buck deer out of misery at the reservation of the Remington Arms U. M. O. Co.,, in Bridgeport. When the company moved it's powder magazines to this section and developed a large park several years ago a number of deer selected it as an ideal abiding place, aud Keeper Mich ael Logan has tried to make conditions agreeable to them. The high fence about the grounds is so built that deer can vault the fence from the outside but not from the inside.
 A year ago the size of the herd reach ed such proportions that ten of the deer were sent to deer park in another part of the state. There are about dozen deer at the park now and few days ago magnificent stranger, a buck with unusually broad antlers for the type of deer that abounds in this state, bounded into the arena and gave challenge to the four bucks already in the herd. AS the mating season is in its height the stranger came at an inopportune time. His challenge was accepted and he met the same fate that usually awaits the cockerel who fiys into the chicken yard next door and attempts to have himself accepted as "cock O the walk. '
 But the strange buck was game and he fought each of the bucks of the herd in turn only to be driven into a corner with a leg broken and broken jaw.
 The management of the concern sent for Joseph Williamson. game warden, Thursday morning, and after he saw the condition of the wounded knight of the forest he gave his consent to have the animal killed, thus to be put out of it's misery.
 G. B. Wheeler, engineer for the com- pany, put ball of Remington rifle through the brain of the animal
 The game warden took charge of the disposal of the carcass as he is given discretionary powers in such matters by the state game laws.
 In response to request from the fish and game commission, Attorney Gen. eral John H. Light has given an opinion concerning the ownership of deer. Sometime ago dead deer was found by a man in Windham county who claimed possession The county game warden disagreed with him and an appeal was taken to the commission. The attorney general says:
 "I am of the opinion that the owner ship of every deer or the carcass of a deer, is in the state-in its sovereign capacity"
 He cites the restraining law for hunting deer, running to June 1, 1917.
