 So ped
 By Dog
Fletchers Awakened Wher Pet sniffs Early Morn
 ing Blaze

Awakened by the frantic barking of pet dog at 4 o'clock this morn ing, E. Leslie Fletcher and family, of 59 Chalmers avenue. succeeded in making their escape from a fire which for a short time threatened to burn their house to the ground. Had it not been for the. alarm given by the dog, the occupants of the dwelling might have lost their lives through fire or suffocation.
 A general alarm was turned in and hremen arrived in time to save the home from destruction. The flames originated in a cellarway, from some unknown cause, and worked their way up through the girders of the house before the dog succeeded in waking up the household. The fire men made short work of the blaze.
 Damage to the building itself was estimated this morning at approxi- mately $500. ome furniture was dam aged by the flames and the scorchin g heat. The pet dog, however, was the real hero of the hour, and was so recognized today by the Fletcher family.

In connection with the work this morning the department organized for the first time in it's history, a har- Dor police squad. This step was deemed advisable inasmuch as the Crane Co.'S offices are located close to Johnsons creek. Without proper protection at this point it might have been an easy matter for gang of men to go up the creek in a motor boat and hold up the guards as they came from the bank with the money.
 Two policemen, under the direction of Captain Charles A. Wheeler, board. Of Wall street early this morning, and maintained a constant patrol at the mouth of the little river.
 At 8 o'clock, an automobile owned by the Crane company pulled up in front of the City National bank. Inn mediately following the company's machine came the police patrol car rying six patrolmen in charge of Cap tain John O'Connell of the First precinct. The policemen, accom- panied by the Crane guards. secured the $700,000 in cash and placed the money in the police patrol.
 With the Crane car, loaded with armed guards proceeding ahead, the bonus money was carried to the com pany's offices in the police patrol guards, armed to the teeth, were ready for any emergency which might have arisen.
 It is believed that the s7oo,oOo which was carried through the streets of the city this morning is the largest cash sum that was ever trans ported in Bridgeport

 The truce was arranged during the night and will continue until the con- c1usion of the conference Mayor Rickardo Gigante Of Plume and Cap tain Hostwenturi, in whose hands D'Annunzio placed the defense Of the city, will be the spokesmen for Plume, D'Annunzio apparently being ignored.

The explosion, which oc- cured toward midnight, set fire to the woods surrounding Plume to the east, and great clouds of black smoke rolled down over the city.
