ABOUT three weeks ago the local

Ambulance Company Promoted.
The ambulance corps. which until
last evening was known as the second
platoon, went to Hartford last night
in preparation for their inspection be-
fore Governor Holcomb, which will
take place in few days. They as
sembled at the armory for drill which
took a competitive nature, the Hart
ford platoon being the competitors.
After the platoons had completed
their drills those higher up" decided
to rearrange the position Of the pla-
ICONS. Because of the showing made
by the Plainville unit, they were &C
corded the first position and will here
after be known as the first platoon.
Top Sergeant Kent. who was in
command because of the absence of
Lieutenant Frost. proved to be an
able commander, but a strict d1scip
linarian. One member of the company
was admonished when he appeared to
make the trip for Hartford minus his
belt. The sergeant gave him orders
to return to his home and get it,
which he did.
Must Muzzle Dogs.
An edict was issued this morning to |
the effect that all dogs which appear !
on the streets after Tuesday, Septem- |
Der 4, must be muzzled. The order !
came from j. M. Whi+tlesey. commits
sioner of domestic animals at Hart
ford, and will be enforced by Dog
Warden Philip Marine.
It also gave orders to the effect that
all dogs which were bitten by the
rabid dog, recently killed, should suf-
which associated with said diseased
animal, must be kept tied up by their
owners until it can be definitely de-
termined if they are infected.
AS far as can be learned. none of !
the animals in the neighborhood were
bitten, although number were ex-
posed to the disease through contact.
The greater share Of the latter class
have already been isolated by their
owners.
State Police on Case.
In response to call sent out by
officer Marine, policemen were IN
town yesterday and went over the
grounds of the five different robberies
which have taken place within the
past two weeks. The storm, which
ragged shortly before their arrival,
washed away large share of the
evidence and hindered them consid-
erably in their work.
AS far as can be learned, no clues
to the Identity of the offenders have
been brought to light The only thing
discovered yesterday was the spot
where the thieves ate their luncheon
Of the forty oranges which were stolen
from the freight house of the Con-
necticut Trolley company.
AS the burglars have succeeded In
covering up their tracks so we'll and
seem to be so familiar with the neigh
borhood, citizens are convinced thai
the thefts have been committed by
