WOMAN REPORTED
MISSING SOUGHT
BY AUTHORITIES

Efforts are being made today to
trace the Whereabouts of Mrs. Minnie
Dayton, 32 years old, of Lyme, Conn.,,
whose disappearance Thursday even
ing from the barge Consolidated" !"
was reported to the police last night
by Captain Daniel Holloway. Capt.
Holloway knows of no reason why
Mrs. Dayton, who acted as house
keeper on the barge, should go away,
and as she left nearly all of her clothes
on the barge he fears either accident
or foul play.
Capt. Holloway told the police that
Thursday evening he left the barge,
tied up in Yellow Mill pond, to OBJ
tain some supplies. Mrs. Dayton was
then on board and expressed no in
tention of going away. The captain
was absent little more than an hour.
When he returned he found that Mrs.
Dayton was gone.
+ At that time he did not think it very
strange, although it was difficult te
get ashore from the barge as the tide
was low. When Mrs. Dayton did not
return yesterday or communicate he
became suspicious.
It is probable that the harbor will
be- dragged today to ascertai nif Mrs
Dayton fell overheard and was drown
ed. The police are investigating the
story of the captain.

$4,000 BUSHELS
OF POTATOES ARE.
DUG BY. COMP ANY

Although the harvest is not yet
fully completed and the exact yield
cannot be forecasted at the present
time, Bridgeport's food supply will
receive a considerable accession from
the planting by the Bridgeport Hy-
draulic Co. of lands surrounding it's
reservoirs in the general effort made
last spring to increase the food sup
ply. At that time the company an
nounced it would plant practically all
of its available land in staple crops,
which at the end of the season would
be turned in with the supply for this
city at a nominal profit.
About 200 acres were planted with
potatoes, and from Is to 100 acres
with corn, these being the principal
crops. while some other land was
planted for other food crops None
of this land would ordinarily have
been planted, and consequently what
is raised upon it is a clear addition to
the food resources of Bridgeport and
it's vicinity.
Harvest is now under way. and all
ready about Is 900 bushels of pota-
toes have been dug. Supt. Samuel P.
Senior said today he believed that
about half of the potato crop has been
dug. At this estimate the total yield
of pototoes would be about 10000
bushels, enough to make a considera-
BILE impression upon the market here.
There has been some shortage of la
Dor in getting in the potatoes, but
Senior believes that problem has now
been solved.
OF the rs acres of corn planted
some has been harvested but not
enough to tell positively how large
the yield will be. . 1t will possibly run
about 40 bushels to the acre, which
would give about 5000 bushels of
corn. The yield may run higher than
that, with a corresponding increase
in the total.
It is expected that both of the crops
will be in within another week. Fig
| ures as to the actual cost of the crops
! cannot be made until the harvest has
been completed.

The absence OF casualties among
