MANY YHARRINGTONEA HAPPENINGS
AS REPORTED DURING PAST WEEK

Harrington citizens after much dis
cussion and deliberation, have pur-
chased the local water plant. The
plant was given over to their charge
at midnight Saturday evening. The
secretary of the town council has al
ready asked of the Fire Company for
report on the condition of the fire
hydrants in the town; also the amount
of good fire hose they have. 1t is plan
ned to make the necessary repairs to
all the hydrants out of conditions, and
place all the wells at the plant in
working order. A pump at the plant
which has been lying idle for some
time, will be started and then the cit
izens should have an ample supply of
water at all times.
The new uniforms for the Harring-
ton Fire Company have arrived and
were examined at their regular meet
ing last week. The local company will
participate in the firemen's parade at
Middletown on July 18th.
A valuable bird dog, belonging to
w. e. Palmer, escaped from his yard
and crossed the lands of R. D. Short;
and, according to eye witnesses in the
case, Mr.. Short shot the dog. It later
died from it's injuries, leaving several
three-weeks-old puppies, which Mr..
Palmer fears he will have to kill, oW-
ing to the fact that they are too young
to raise without the mother. Mr.. Pal
mer says he will bring suit against
Mr.. Short for damages. The case will
probably be tried this term of Kent
County Court. Mr.. Palmer does not al
low his dogs to run at large; and, ac-
cording to Mr.. Palmer, he had inform
ed Mr.. Short, previous to the shooting
that he would stand all damages
should his dogs get away from his
fields.
