 People in the upper part of the town could see the blaze of a fire on the Milford turnpike about o'clock last evening, at the time the wind was blowing the hardest. The light was plainly visible for an hour, ap- parently coming from a point be- tween Devon and Milford center.
 Harry Flood. connected with the charge was set off on King street, from the effects of several shattered ribs, received when struck by rock dislodged by blast. The careless charge was set off on iKng street, several weeks ago. Flood, formerly one of the stars of the Stratford American Legion basketball team, seems to be followed by jinx. II was Flood who suffered from inhal- ing a large amount of smoke while fighting the disastrous High school fire not quite year ago.
