Every sheep owner in the county
who has lost sheep from the ravages
of dogs and who, properly proves his
claim for losses sustained since the
enactment of the dog law last spring,
will get full compensation for the loss
es that have been sustained. This
statement is fully justified by the col
lections from the dog taxes and the
statements for losses filed.
Already more than 5000 dog taxes
have been paid. A very large part of
these are dollar each but many fe-
male taxes of 50 have also been paid
so that the total collections the first
year of the law can be safely estimat-
ed at not very far from $4,000 The
claims that have thus far been filed
and proven aggregate about $1,250.

After Mir. and Mrs. Johnson had been per suaded to give little sketch which ttey recently presented at Thompson Grange they were invited to the din- ing room, which was in darkness, and as the lights were lit, the table full of glassware, tinware, and other household articles, not to mention some real necessities, was displayed. Appropriate cards and verses accom- panied most of the gifts.

WEBSTER DOESN'T LIKE TROL
 LEY SITUATION

Webster, Oct. 1.-The Chamber of Commerce is taking up the acute street car situation as a result of the several complaints made by the citi- zens of Webster. Interviews are be- ing held with General Manager Hen- " c. Page of the Shore Line Electric Railway Co. Because of strike, the cars are not being operated between North Grosvenor-Dale and Webster. Consequently such people from North Grosvenor-Dale who formerly patron ized Webster merchants, are now un- able to do so because of the stopping of cars. Trade, generally speaking, which originally went to Webster from North Grosvenor-Dale now goes elsewhere, presumably chiefly to Put nam. which Grosvenor-Dale citizens can easily reach because of the satis- factory car service in that district.
 Only one car week comes to Web ster from North Grosvenor-Dale. Mer- chants and non-merchants alike are much concerned and alarmed in the closing of the car service between North Grosvenor-Dale and Webster. Trade in Webster is good, but the loss of North Grosvenor-Dale trade is felt by the merchants.

KNOLL SOUNDS
 DUMPS KNELL
Dirt Shoveled Onto Shoulder
 ing Slag At Clair's Farm
Once More the Odoriferous Pile ls
 Said to Be Out

For the third, and it is hoped the last time. the odoriferous dump on Nelson Clair's farm is said to be out. It has been blown up, deluged, report ed out, and still smouldering and gave off it's nauseating odor which pene- trated the dining rooms. parlors and kitchens; also the bed rooms and the attics of homes in the Grove street section.
 The city fathers took the matter up at the last council meeting and again the edict went forth that the dump must stop it's nuisancing. Three times has it been put out of commission and unless it has as many lives as a cat the aforesaid city fathers think it is dead to stay dead.
 This third time new remedy was applied. First workmen dug down to the smouldering slag or slack that came from the gas house. There 1t was giving off it's sickening fumes, From a little knoll nearby workmen shoveled earth upon the smouldering material and completely suffocated it as it has been suffocating human be ings. And once more the dump is out

NOT GUILTY OF
 SERIOUS CHARGE
Jury In Superior Court Acquits Sixteen Year Old Ernest Welch of Criminal Assault.
Jury Out For Two Hours.-Asked for
 Instructions Twice.

After being out for about two hours, jury in the superior court in this city, "Wednesday afternoon, brought in a verdict of not guilty in the case of State vs. Ernest Weleh of Attawaugan, charged with criminal assault on five year old Bessie Weeks
 The state alleged that the assault took place on September Sth and that the boy gave the little girl a nickel
 Mir. and Mrs. Charles Weeks, fa- ther and mother of the child, testified that the little girl told them how the defendant had taken her up behind a stone wall in the rear of their homes, which are only about thirty feet apart, and there assaulted her.
 Michael J. Grimshaw told of being notified of the assault and going after the boy, whom he met near the four corners. Witness said that the boy first denied the assault, but after be- ing asked what he gave the little girl a nickel for confessed the assault and also said he made an attempt two weeks previous but did not accomplish his purpose because the little girl made such noise. Raymond and Floyd Mitchell and the little girls fa- AL. ..L ...nx.a ,...tb G,,,,sbax., a4 n ba time, corroberated this testimony
 Grimshaw and Weeks also testified that after the boy was taken to the home of Prosecutor A. G. Bill he made another confession.
 An attempt was made to have the little girl testify, but on account of her years it was thought that she could not qualify as witness. When asked what it meant to hold up her right hand and swear to tell the truth the child said that if she did not tell the truth God would punish her.
 For the defense William Welch, who runs pool room, told how the defendant was in his place between twelve and one o'clock in the after noon. Mrs. Sarah Coffey said she saw the lad sitting on the pool room steps at twenty-five minuets to one. The state claimed that the assault took place between noon and half past one o'clock.
 The boy took the stand in his own behalf and denied that he saw the Weeks girl at all that day. He said he did not give her nickel and also said that Grimshaw said that if he didn't tell he would take him to the lock up. q told what thought was best,n concluded the witness. He said that he was so stirred up that he did not remember just all he did say. He said he was frightened.
 After being out nearly an hour the iury came in and asked for instruc- tions about finding verdict of at tempt, and this was given by Judge Haines. They returned again and said that they had not agreed but that there was a possibility of it. The third time they brought in the verdict aeauitting the defendant.

The office of the police department looked like an electric shop Wednes- day morning when some S2S0 worth of wire, sockets, hangers, tape, cleo trie motor cord, fixtures, gauges, fire extinguisher, small tools. and long list of similar property was spread out on the floor as part of the loot stolen by Lester Brousseau, employed as a fireman at the mill of the Manhasset Manufacturing Go. The goods were found in Brousseau's cellar after he had been arrested for stealing piece of steel worth about fifteen cents. He was hound over to the superior court and furnished bond of $500 for his appearance, his father and mother signing the bond.
 Brousseau has recently built q house on Grove Terrace near Mechan. ics street. When asked what he in- tended to do with the stuff he said s'I thought had use for it."
 Brousseau had been employed al the Manhasset Company for the past nine months. Previous to that he had been employed at the foundry and 2 few articles from that place were identified by Superintendent Heath. William F..

LIQUOR DEALERS
 WILL APPLY

All of the liquor dealers of Put nam will make the usual apphca- ton for licenses to sell spirituous and intoxicating liquor, notwith- standing the present ban. This was stated this morning by leading member of the Retail Liquor Deal CTS Association.
 Whether the commissioners will grant these applications is not known. It is thought that they will refuse to grant them unless the ban is lifted. If the ban is lifted the applications will probably be granted unless there are remon- strances which are upheld.
 The dealers are taking this step as measure of protection in case there is any chance to open up their places lawfully.
