 Outstanding Month
 For Marked Changes
Fifty Accidents Involving Injuries to Persons Reported Here During First Three Months of Year Only
 One Fatality During Past Month

tician, shows today. This total com- pareS with 84 in the same period last year, and 127 in the same period in 1887.
 One Fatality
 One fatality last month brought the total for the year this far to three, one less than at the same ime in 1897 and 1888.
 The " less personal injury acci- dents than in the first third of 1887 means 8 reduction of 61 per cent, and the 34 less personal injury acci- dents than in the first third of 1888 means reduction of 42 per cent.
 Police Superintendent William J. Roach, in discussing the remarkable accident reduction, today gave credit to the work of his subordinates, par ticularly the safety squad, and to the motoring and pedestrian public for cooperating with the police.
 Only three pedestrians were in- volved in accidents with automobiles during April. In the same month last year, there were 20 auto-pedes- trian accidents, and in April, 1887, there were 25.
 There were 20 collisions between automobiles registerd in April, and tn remaining three mishaps in- volved automobiles and fixed ob- jects.
 Last month registered six personal injury accidents, as compared with 24 in April, 1888, and 34 in April, 1897.
 Squad Praised
 Superintendent Roach today is- sued the following statement:
 "The work being done in bringing about the remarkable decrease in accidents during the past month of April and also. for the first quarter of 1889 is deserving of praise from the citizens of Waterbury.
 "The members of the Accident h. vestigating squad and Accident Pre- vention bureau under the supervi- sion of Capt. William Duggan, Lieut.. Joseph McEvoy and Sergt. Chas. McWeeney are deserving of all the praise that can be given to them.
 "This group of twenty men have been striving hard for the past two years to make Waterbury a safer city in which to live and now it ap- pears that their untiring efforts are beginning to bear fruit. We are get ting splendid cooperation from both the motorist and pedestrian. I do not have to make 8 further state ment about this cooperation for the April monthly total of only six per- sonal injury accidents definitely shows all the people of Waterbury have the cooperative spirit necessary to make Waterbury the safest city in the United States in 1889.
 We have had three fatalities dur ing the first four months of the cur- rent year and now with the coming of the summer period, the season of the open road the risks of driving and walking will become greater. It, therefore, is up to us by being care full drivers and safe workers to hold our fatility rate down to mini num-"

NO SLEEPING SICKNESS
IN MONTANA CATTLE;
BUNCO ARTISTS LOOSE

DR.. w. j. Butler, state veterin-
arian, has fatty denied that
sleeping sickness is affecting
cattle in Montana. The state
livestock sanitary commission
has received numerous reports
from stockmen that they were
told their cattle were suffering
from the malady. The cases
were investigated by DR.. But
ler'S department., and no sleep
ing sickness was found.
The veterinarian said there
never has been an authentic re-
port in the nation OF cattle
naturally acquiring cpl n g
sickness. He said as far as med
ical science knows cattle are
not susceptible to the disease,
although it attacks horses.
Most of the stockmen who
said they had been told their
cattle had the disease said the
persons diagnosing the cases
had recommended immediate
vaccination, and that most of
them carried vaccine with
them. The vaccine, incidentally,
DR.. Butler said, was much high
er priced than that available
through regular channels.
