Three sheep were killed by two dogs that raided flock on the farm place of County Commissioner E. Fl. Corttis, near North, Grosvenordale on Tuesday, Later one of the dogs was captured and late Tuesday afternoon Special Deputy Com missioner Howard A. Elliott and Deputy William Jarvais of the commission on domestic animals who happened to be working in this territory were out hunt ing the second dog, which had Deem twice wounded, with the hope of putting an end to it's destructive career and obtain ing ownership of the animal. Officer Nerre Coderre of North Grosvenordale was with Officers Elliott and Jarvais in the hunt for the second dog.
 The dogs attacked the sheep while the latter were out in a pasture. Comnlis- sioner Corttis' flock has been raided time and again by dogs the past few years and he has lost many sheep through such depredations.
 Late Tuesday afternoon Oficer Elli- ott said that the dog that had been cap tured is the property of a Polish resi- dent of the town of Thompson. The man later will be summoned into court to make answer to such charges as may be filed against him.

 1 A year ago this morning, as also on l Tuesday morning, the whole country to the north, northwest and west of here 1 was sheathed in ice that caused more , destruction than any other similar vis- itation within the memory of the present | generation. Putnam, by some freak of 1 temperature, was spared the disaster vis- ited upon Thompson, Pomfret and Woodstock, whose borders this tow1 touches but the loss here was sufficient ly heavy to earn an unusually bad rat ing for this particular ice storm. l It was recalled Tuesday that gang after gang of linemen were called into this corner of the state to help clear LII the trouble with the wire lines and that they were busy here for weeks and that the last of the storm damage was not permanently cleared up until the spring of this year.
