The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-07-19

Naugatuck, July 19--Warden Joan J. Sheridan today denied charges of using the borough mo- or patrol auto for personal bus mess. The superintendent of pub- lie welfare, public welfare investi- gators, superintendent of schools, are supervisor and other officials here get paid by the town for the use of their autos per day, he pointed out.
 However he uses his own auto day in an dday out ontownbusiness without charging the town any, thing and he has never asked the borough board to compensate him for the use of his car on town business, he said in statement to- day.
 It has been charged he took Q party of friends to a dance in New Haven using the police car on the night of Jan 30. Also that he took the car to Stamford when at- tending a meeting of city execu- tives.
 The warden admitted using the police auto on three occasions, twice going to Hartford, on bus mess, one trip of which was to discuss matters relating to the bor- ough with the state water com- mission. He admits taking 1t to Stamford to conference of the Connecticut League of Municipal Executives. This was entirely a business trip. he asserted. Matters of relief for towns, which included Naugatuck, were discussed, he said. He felt it would be better to use the police auto which was lying idle than to use his own and charge the town, because 1t was such a distant trip, the warden stated.
 His own auto is not in the best of shape and he uses it on town business here, but never charges the town for this, he reiterated. T don't believe have been seen often using the police car," he said. T think what save the town by not charging for the daily use of my own auto more than makes up for cost of any time l may have used the police car," he added.
 He denied trying to usurp the powers of Chief John Adamson of the local police. All wardens in the past, he said, have at one time or ether given orders to the chief of police. It is the duty of tho warden to act in what he consid- CTS the best interests of the people of the town. no matter what de- pactment that affects, he stated.

Suddenly his heart almost stopped.

They stumbled toward the rear Of
the cottage. Just as they turned the
corner, they saw Ronnie plunge into
the back door, disappearing into the
eddying smoke.
"Ronnie!" screamed Hicky. Then
he saw Mrs. Mills face. She was
standing nearby, and she looked as
though she were about to faint.
Herbs in there!" she moaned.
HICKY raced toward the burning
building. Dragging his handker-
chief from a hip pocket, he wrapped
1t around his face, covering his mouth
and nose. He leaped to the back
porch and plunged through the door,
dropping to the floor Immediately. He
scrambled frantically across the smok-
ing boards to the dining room.
There he found Ronnie, gasping and
half unconscious from the smoke,
trying desperately to drag Herb toward
safety. Hicky crawled to them, while
he could almost feel his skin crack
ing from the effects of the terrific
heat. He grabbed Ronnie f1ercely,
sent him stumbling toward the door.

had their origin in the following man
ner.
In the year 1858. the tomb Of Chill

and the valuable contents removed.
The skeletons OF Childcric's war horse
and Of his page were found; also,
about 800 small objects which the
French heralds mistook for bees "of
purest gold, their wings being tnlaid
with q red stonelike cornelian."
Although these small ornaments re-
sembled bees, they were In reality
what Is known as "neurons," and were
supposed to have been attached to the
trappings Of the war horse. Later.
they were sent to Louis XIV, but 1t
was not until the time Of Napoleon
that they were given any real signi1i-
canoe. He adopted the bee" as q
symbol of the enterprise and activity
which his reign represented, and he

When the Forest Burned.
BY Ell COMANCHO.

When the Forest Burned.
A NUMBER of years ago was In
the Flathead Lake country doing
some work among the B,ackfoot In
dians for the Great Northern Rail-
road This work took me over the
country that Is now Glacier Park.
One afternoon I worked up along
the slopes that came down from what
is now called Gunsight Pass. For
several hours I had noticed q thin
blue haze over the high peaks, but
had thought nothing of ii except that
a storm was probably on its way east
from the Pacific Coast, and that it
would probably be raining by tomor-
row.
I had a pack train of horses to
carry my outfit and was camping out
all the time, so I had to take the
weather as I found 1t, and storms
made little difference in my daily life.
But when I reached the divide, not
far from Gunsight Pass, ! met high
wind from the west which was carry
ing the smoke from a big timber fire
on the west side Of the peaks.
Below me the whole side Of the
mountain was red, roaring furnace.
The hot wind from The burning tim
ber ran up the mountain faster than
I could climb away. The country was
very steep and rugged behind me, and
I wanted to 60 forward, so followed
the high divide around to the right

toward Lake Mcdonald. This seemed
a safe route around the fire, so
started down.
had gone perhaps miles when
the wind, which had been blowing
from the west, suddenly veered to
the south and started the fire straight
up the steep slopes toward me. Within
10 minutes the smoke was thick and
choking and I had to do something
quickly or my horses and would be
suffocated.
I could not see SO feet ahead of me.
and had to find passable trail for
the horses. Down and down I went.

Luckily, did not run into any

down I worked out below the fire into
clear air. Soon I found an animal
trail which I followed TO q small
mountain lake. There ! camped,
thankful that was far enough be-
low the fire to be safe, even If the
wind changed again.
The next morning pulled out and
soon reached Lake Mcdonald, where

could see a dim form stealing toward
