 The actions of large police dog in the vicinity of Judd and Maple streets at 10:30 o'clock last night caused residents of that neighbor- hood considerab ble alarm and as . result the police department and Dog Warden Thomas L. Ryan were notified that the animal had gone mad. The deg was found short time later by the dog warden and Officer Timothy Lambert AL though the animals actions were perfectly rational. he was taken n charge by Ryan.
 It appears that the dog apparent ! ly hungry. had raided a garbage can in the rear of one of the houses on Judd street. When his head reap peared from the interior of the can it was covered with pieces of gar hase and he presented not only a w0ird but a terrifying sight. Pe- oestrians. taking one look at the
 ,jmal. immediately arrived at the conclusion that it was mad and ac- cordinelv sounded the alarm. Traction Laborers Quit Practically the entire force Of sec. l ton men of the Bristol Traction Co, l engaged in laying new track ad- | joining the state road between thls city and Terry>ille, quit work l Thursday it was learned last night, There was no question Of wage diff ference. according to the report. but the men simply refused to work un- der the section foreman, Joseph Courville, Several of the men who protested at the tactics Of the fore | man, had been in the service of the trolley company for a number of years.
 For the past several weeks the section men had been engaged in re- laying the track in the vicinity Of the Terryville passenger station. the work being made necessary by the construction of the new state road. A number of the men in the gang were recently employed to hurry the work along.
 Immediately following the walk | a Af oI rr,st l the gas department of the Connec- ticut Light and Power Co.,. was turned over to the traction com pany, so that the construction work suffered no delay.
 Boulevard Signs Placed
 Three new signs, ca utioning auto- mobile drivers to keep to the right of the Soldiers monument at the intersection of Mellen street and the Memorial Boulevard. were put in place Friday afternoon by employ es of the public works department. These signs. which are of flexible rubber and stand about six inches above the roadway will replace the three which were cut off by vanda!s a few weeks ago. The parties re- sponsible for the destruction of the other signs have never been appre- hended. although the police are stlll working quietly on the case.
