Plainville Officials, Angry Mob of Women and
 Stirred Up Over Adventures of "Sooky."

Now "Sooky" Is & very well-be- haved little dog and is the property or 1l-year old Stanley Cibinsky of Mountain View. Every day "Sooky' has accompanied Stanley to school and has lain down on the school steps to wait for his master to come out again. This performance has been repeated every morning and afternoon until "Sooky" has become as we'll known and beloved by the residents of the neighborhood about the school as he is in his native dis trict of Mountain View.
 When Stanley's mother learned of the dog quarantine. she promptly complied with its terms and tied "Sooky' up. But "Sooky" under stood nothing of quarantines and could only realize that he was be- ing forCibly detained from his duty Of accompanying Stanley to school. So "Sooky' chewed through his rope and dashed to the Linden street building on his mission of devotion, only to become the sole victim of Dog Warden Marino's canine hunt.
 AS the warden started to lead the captured "Sooky' away. fully 50 school children gathered about him and, weeping copiously. begged him to release "Sooky." Stanley indig- nantly flung his coat on the ground and offered to fight Marine for him, but the latter was deaf to tears and threats alike.
 At this juncture Grand Juror Charles r. Conlon arrived at the school. Being a lover of dogs, he could not stand idly by and see

Designer of World- Flight and Ruth Elder Ships Makes Perilous Descent in Hayfield.
Wife Becomes Violently Ill in Storm-Party Rests at Farmhouse and Con- tinues on Way to Boston by Train.

Sherborn, Mass, Oct. 1s R- Eddie Stinson's big yellow -cabined monoplane rested easily in a hay field on the Richards farm here to- day where 1t made a perfect landing last night when the Detroit airplane manufacturer was forced down by flow ceiling" in a raw "northeaster" that for hours led to grave appre- hension that the plane and its six passengers might have met serious mishap.
 Sdnson, with his wife, Baron Ra- vene F. Barnekow, German aviator, Philip Ashby, and J. T. Whitaker and Fred Koehler, two of his fac tory mechanics, were uninjured.
 The party. after accepting the hospitality of George Mann. whose farm adjoins the Richards prop erty, were driven to Birmingham where they took train to Boston.
 Days Second Setback.
 It was Stinson's second setback of the day and coincidentally, both came on the last lap of an 1s,000 mile tour undertaken to promote in- terest in airports. Stinson made his landing about 6:30 in the evening but the apparent failure of any of the party to notify friends or air. port authorities in Boston caused an extensive search to be started and resulted in many anxious moments until the big ship was finally locat- ed in this isolated place early today.
 The flier. who built Ruth Elders plane American Girl" the ill-fated Sir John Carling" of the Canadian fliers as well as that in which Paul Redfern was lost in his attempted Brazilian flight and the Pride Of Detroit" of the round the world air men, Brock and Schlee, took of from Hartford late in the afternoon after arriving two hours behind schedule from New York city.
 Wife Violently III.
 Weather trouble which had made the earlier trip bumpy to the point where Mrs Stinson became violently ill. increased as the machine crossed the Massachusetts line. Stinson flew so low In an attempt to avoid low hanging clouds that at times he seemed to come perilously close to house and chimney tops. His ire quent swoops groundward gave rise to numerous false reports of land ings when 1t became known that the machine was overdue in Boston.
 As the monoplane hovered over this place the night. which had been blustery, set in thickly and heavy rain came down. Despite the wea- ther hazards, the veteran pilot me- gotiated the hayfield with deftness several stone walls crossed near.
 Stinson told Mann that tho fog and almost entire absence of visi- bility had left no other course open than to descend. He expects to bring the machine to Boston today If wea- ther is favorable.
 Besieged With Messages
 Eddie Stinson, veteran airplane pilot and builder of planes which have become famous in long dis tance flights. was kept busy this forenoon answering messages from all over the country inquiring as to his safety after a forced landing at Sherborn last night.
