susgestion-Pos6e Hastens After Suspicious Strangers Thought to Be Burglars Corrcn Dc.d.
 Attacked by a dog. owned by Hem ry Livery of Forestville. as he was delivering groceries at tho home of customer on Bank street, John East wood. clerk for o. w. Hird and com. pany. Is suffering from severe lacer- alton in his leg made by the animals teeth and is under the>care of phy- sician. Although there Is no evidence to show that the animal was suffering from rabies, which is prevalent among cantnes in this locality, Eastwood's case is being closely watched in fear of unfavorable developments.
 The animal was shot Friday night, 8 short time after it had attacked the young man. by Constable Philip Ma rin0, acting on permission from the owner. MT. Livery has also given as- surance that he will be responsible for the expenses of medical treatment. Orders have been issued in New Britain and Bristol and other places in this vicinity for the muExling of dogs because of the numerous cases of rabies and persons who have been bitten have been sent >the Pasteur institute for treatment as precaution against hydrophobia. Nothing has as yet been done in Plainville although the belief is. held that this town should take similar action.
 Livery's dog is understood to have been acting strangely of late but seemingly no investigation has been made to ascertain if it showed synpA toms of the deadly rabies. The animal seemingly ran away from its home and like many tramps of human char acteristicsS selected Piainville to for age for food. It was lettering around Bank street for some time before at taclsing MT. Eastwood.
 There was some criticism made to- day because the authorities hAd not sent the dogs head to the Middletown labratory for examination to deter- mine whether 1t was suffering from disease. Consequently many believe that the officials should make an in- vestigation and issue 2 nuxxling or- der if necessary.
 Posse After Burglars"
 Responding to a complaint by tele- phone by a resident of Broad street, Constable Philip Marine and a hur- riedly posse hastened to Nick Bel leni's store on West Main street late last night to make a search for men, who it was reported. were about to burglarize the place. According to the information sent to the policeman three suspicious looking characters were skulking around the building and were apparently seeking the place most accessible for their en- trance. Y
 The officer was joined by . number of young men who were on the street at the time and the party made a hur- ried trip to the Belleni store. Although they made a thorough search of the immediate locality they found no sign of the suspects. While searching the premises Officer Marine tripped over an obstruction and in falling had his hand badly wrenched.
 Despite their failure to local the men against whom the complaint had been made Officer Marino feels confi- dent that strangers bent on some evil action were in the locality in which Belleni's store is situated. His wife reported having seen three men proving around the buildings shortly before midnight. They were paying special attention to chicken GOODS and it is believed that they were probably ened away before they could make a raid.
