Both Mr.. and Mrs. Stanley are expected
to recover but were in a serious condition
Monday. Their age, Mr.. Stanley being
76 and Mrs. Stanley II, and the attendant
circumstances under which the injuries

years ago, the fish hatchery superinten.

had occasion to tend these animals. Mr..
Stanley took no club or weapon for de-

necessary.
He was bending over the feed pan when
the buck attacked him from the rear A
moment later he had been trampled be-
meath the sharp hoofs of the Infatuated
animal and torn by the sharp horns.
To Rescue in Night Clothes
Mrs. Stanley was in bed when she
heard her husbands cries. She rush

night gown, her feet bare, and entered
the enclosure. She was in time to see
the buck toss her husband bodily into
brook. And then it turned upon her.
When Mrs. Stanley entered the yard
a small collie dog. owned by the cou-
pie. had entered too, and it was at this
point that the dog proved her worth.
The dog set upon the buck. She bit

WILL LAY WALKS ON
 HARRINGTON AVENUE
Mayor Quigiey Favors Property O"n- CTS and Would Have Vetoed
 Measure Opposing Them.

Mayor Quigley started in this morn ing to veto a measure of the common council when investigation failed to show any measure to veto, And 1t all coneerns the famous Farm1ngtoh aven0e sidewalk controversy. At tho last session of the common council Alderman McCabe introduced a meas ure to postpone the laying of the side walks on Pennington avenue until June 1. Then it was that the land owners there showed the mayor that of the twenty property owners fifteen had already laid their walks. This makes it unfair to the fifteen so his honor promptly called City Clerk Thompson and advised him to bring him the measure that he might veto 1t.
 Diligent search failed to produce any records that Alderman McCabe's measure was passed. The only mat ter on record was that the board of public works had recommended that the petitioners for the walks be given a right to. withdraw.
 AS there was no measure to veto, the mayor withheld his rubber stamp and now the Harrington avenue residents are well pleased to learn that the work of laying the walks will begin at once.

 INCREASED TWO FOLD
Germany Has Sunk Many More Boats in Last Month
 Than in Preceding Ones.

Washington, Sept y3O.-Much more complete information of Germany's submarine activities which suppli- ments Lord Robert Cecils statement in London last night was received in despatches from London arriving here today which show that between June 1 nd September 24, no less than 262 sunk by submarines. Of those fif- teen were reported sunk without warning with the loss of S4 lives. A total of 66 neutral vessels were de- stroyed during the period.
 Today's fuller information brings out that the submarine activity has practically doubled during the last two months. During June, after deliv- cry of the American note on the Sus- sex, accepting Germany's agreement not to sink vessels without proper safeguard to lives on board, 57 ves- sels were sunk, of which five were neutral and six. including three neu- trals, were sunk without warning with the loss of 25 lives.
 In July the total sunk fell off to AZ, including nine neutrais and two Brit ish sunk without warning, with the loss of Al lives.
 In August the totl sunk more than doubled with the figure of 103, includ- ing 26 neutral vessels Two allied boats were sunk without warning with the loss of three lives. The figures up to September 25 show a continu- ing high rate of destruction in the month with a total of 75 vessels sunk, including 26 neutrals with five allied boats sunk without warning with the loss of 1 5 lives.

 Nogales, Arizona, Sept. 29, 7:30 D. m-Officers and mon of the First Connecticut Infantry received official orders from the army departm ent to- night advising them to make prepara- tions to return to Connecticut in two days.
 News that the First Connecticut Regiment which is partly made up by Companies E and I of New Britain is to return home, was received with a great outburst of enthusiasm by all of the soldiers here. Cheer upon cheer echoed across the valley, car ried on the clear night air, and Now Britain men, in common with all oth- CTS affected by the news, spent the entire evening in hurried packing in preparation for an early start It is thought by officers here tonight that the start for Mantle will be made immediately and that the Connecticut men will be in their home state in four days. The Second Regiment will remain here as no orders have been received by the officers
 Every New Britain soldier here, as we'll as those from the other places in Connecticut, are delighted at the hap py news and the camp streets were the scene of a big celebration just be- fore taps sounded tonight. Speeches were made by officers and men and it seems that at no other time has genuine hom esickness been so appar- ent as now that the men know they are to return.
 While the return route to Mantle has not been definitely settled it Is likely that it will be by the southern route, via New Orleans, Washington and New York. Later reports tonight indicate that the Connecticut men will be in Mantle about October 6.
