putate the thumb and forefinger at the
first joint, and patch up the end of the
second finger, on which the nail will
never grow again. Mrs. Dugan was
struck in the forehead and chest by
flying pioces of entail wire and slight
flesh wounds were indicted. George.
the twelve-Aycar-old sou, who stood
near, was out quite badly about the
face and blood ilowed freely. Louis
was taken to the oiilcc of Dr. Jean Du~
mortlcr. where the amputation and
dressing took place by Drs. Durnortier
and llcnryC. Shercr.

Louis and George were out playing
along the railroad tracks. when the
former, picked up what looked like a
small paint ln'ush. He knew it to be
sonic sort of firework and together
they went into the house for a match.
Louis struck the match and held the
rocket in his band. it bargan'to split
for and send out varied colored sparks.
Mrs. Dugan told him to throw it from
the window. "Why, no, mother, this is
a flower pot," said the boy. - .e next
instant there, was a loud report that
shook the entire house. Mr. Logan
was asleep in another room, but was
awakened. lie hurried to the kitchen.

After five dayp'r diligent search, the
body of William» G; Staples. the Pine

been missing sinnerlaut Tuesday, was
found unexpectedly, this morning, by
two fishermen, whoiwcrc on their way

10 o'clock. about one-eight of amilc
southeast of Woodbury ti. Lanmlon‘s

state of prosci't'ation.

Messrs. Martineau and imwsori left
imwmics‘ dock about 9 o‘clock. to go
out to their oyster beds; They were in
their sleep "A. ll. Purdy." and were
sailing along through what is known
as the crust channel. when Mn'lnawson

llc promptly headed the boat into the
wind. and in-ra'momont it flashed upon
the two men that the object was the
body (if the mlsslun'luan. W. (l. Sla—
ules. A rope was tied around the body
and it was brcpght to shore. the near—
est spot being at the end of Gulf
Pasture beach. , . , -
The discovery was made half way
between Sprite and Calf Pasture is—
lands-and about a mile and a half
from where the boat, turned upside
down, was picked up hurt Wednesday
afternoon. by Captain William F. Hoyt.
it is thought that the thunder storm
of Saturday afternoon brought the body
to the surface. and it is the opinion of
Mr. lowaon that it has not been float-
ing over thirty-six hours at the most~ 9

immediately after the discovery
Clarence B. Webb was sent to notify
Mrs. Staples. and Mr. Martincau wont
to E. E. Gorbam's store and telephoned,

who. soon after arrived on lbt} spot.
After taking the testimony oi’ the two
men who found the body and several
others. he examined the remains and
pronounced death due to accidental
drowning. here wasno. doubtdn the
minds of the men uricetlonctl as mine
identity of the dead man. as the b dy1
was not decomposed. and his cloth 1:
was the same as on the fateful day
when he went out fishing. A search
was made of the dead man's pockets.
and a dime. a nickel, and a gold link
cuff button, were found. ,

There was a slight wound behind
the~right car, which gives rise to the
bplnlon this when he fell overboard. as
be is supposed to have done, his head
may have struck the oarlock. The man
had on a pair of black pants; and over
them a pair of brown. overalls, and his
heavy hip boots were turned down as
he was in the habit of wearing them.
He wore‘a black dotted shirt and adim

As for and other oystcruwn from interfering

or rcruoving oysters from the till acres
of Bridgeport to Daniel Stu-agile. was
granted Mr;' Spraguc. last month, by
Judge William '1‘. Elmer, in the civil
urperlor cour't,,at the instance of his
counsel, Attorneys Canticld & Judson.
The suit which forms a basis for the
trusting of the petition for the injunc-
,lon will result ultimately in trying

John

deleted by Mr. Spraguo, and will llnai-
y settle to whom the ground in dis-
oute really belongs. . r‘

The trouble dates from many years
ago, when the land. including a large
)ortlon of the tract known as Pleas-
ure Beach, was deeded by the town of
Stratford to the town of Bridgeport.
At that time a portion of the big nat‘
urai oyster bed. extending south from
the Pleasure Beach breakwater and
"westward to the static jurisdiction line.
was included. 011 the north side of the
ln‘cakwater there was also much land
upon which oysters grew naturally.
The land is described in the town,rcc-
ords of Stratford, has having been set
aside by the town as a public oyster
ground. That ground was transferred
to ,the city of Bridgeport by tuctown
and that is where the difference arises,
It is claimed by the Oystermen's Pro.
tcctive Association that, as long as the
ground had been once set aside as a
public ground. and had been desig~
noted as a. public oyster bed. it always
thereafter should belong to ilie’pubiic
as long as they wanted to use it, and
that the-selling of tire groundby one
town to another could in no way inter.
fore withithc rights of the public in us-
ing the property. Some of the officials
of the town of Bridgeport were inclin-
ed to look. at the matter differently.
however. They contended that if the
town of Stratt‘ord had the right to sell
the land at all they could transfer it to
an individual, in which case the rights
of the public would be void. They
claimed that in conveying the land to
Bridgeport, the conveyance was made
with the sauna conditions as if it had
been turned over to an individual.
‘_ Acting under that. supposition. the
oyster ground committee. composed of
William W. Starr. Samuel . Dank:
and William H. Hoyt, severe ears ago
conveyed to Mr. Sprague. a plot of
ground isome 60 acres in extent, deed
ing the property to him. Mr. Spragnc
thereupon planted about 1.500 bushels
of oysters on the ground. Later, With
the natural growth of the oysters, the
crop increased to 2,500 bushels. There
was some. question as to the title by
which the land Was conveyed to Mr.
Spragué, some of the oystermen con:
tending that they had a right to the
ground. in order to settle that matter.
a bill.was presented to the Legislature,
confirming the title of Mr. Sprague to
the oyster grounds. The bill was vig-
orously opposed by the Oystermen's
Protective Association, and was defeat-
ed so that the matter was left in dis-
pute. * "
