South Norwalk Is in the throes of a
mad dog scare. Already several per-
‘ sons have been bitten by canines that
had been pronounced mad and several
of the mad dogs are said to be roaming
the streets. A prominent South New
walk physician advises all persons to
have as little as possible to do with
I I; these dogs and in case of a bite from
_ avlcious dog he advIse‘s prompt and
speedy treatment in New York City.
' ,I This is the only safe precaution. ,

I Elizabeth Sherer. the little daughter
of Dr. and Mrs. Henry Sharer, of west
Washington street was bitten on the
face by the doctor' 5 pet dog. Early
Saturday afternoon the (lug began to

guard against any possible danger.

in the evening the doctor's little
daughter went into the kitchen and
no sooner bed she gotten there than
the dog made a spring and with a
snarl ground his teeth in the little
one‘s face, on the right side. near the
nose. The wound made was very pain—
ful and Sunday Dr Sharer took his
daughter to New York City, where she
was placed undisr treatment. in the
Pasteur institute. There it was dis,-
doubted that the dog was afflicted with
the rabies. but the physicians were of
the opinion that nothing serious would
come 'of the hits. as it had been treat-7
ed in time. A little girl four years of
age who bed has ‘

Sherergot loose and thedoctor was
unable to catch him. although he had

the animal The dog wandered around
during the day and whenever appros
ched would run rapidly in the oppo~
site direction. The last seen of the
canine was on Sunday night when it
was spied in Dr. Sherer’s front yard
The dog is now at large.
Sunday afternoon the animal hap-
pened to be in the. doctor‘s yard and
Harry Ferris, although warned of the
danger by Dr Sharer. approached the
canine. which Instantly showed its
teeth and snapped at him. He then do-
cided to' leave the dog alone. Directly

The City of Norwalk is at present
buying water from the city of South
Norwalk. This condition has been
brought about by the lowering of the
distributing reservoir on Spring Hill
Norwalk has a great plenty of3 water
but is unable to get to the distribut-
lng reservoir from the Grape for the
reason that the pipe between the two
reservoirs for the greater part of the
distance is but twelve inches in diam—
eter while a sixteen inch pipe. at the
smallest is needed. The water at the
distributTing reservoir is now about six
and One-half feet below the overflow
but since the city has been using the-
South Norwalk water also it is gradu-
ally rising. Some days ago it was
seven and Ions-halt feet below the
overflow.

Tavern Island. one of the most sight-
ly and desirable or the large number
that abound at the entrance to Nor-
wnlk harbor. was sold today. The pur-
chaser was Ebenezer Hill, general
manager of the Norwclk Iron Works.
The island has fol“ many years been
the property of a syndicate of Nor-
walk oystermen. who purchased it for
their own protection, the purpose be»
lug to keep a men there constantly for
the purpose ofnwatchlng the extensive
and valuable oyster grounds that
abound in the adjacent waters. The
present trustees .are Captain Nathan
Roberts, Captain Richard H. Parmelee,
of East Norwalkrand Captain Charles
.W. Hoyt, of Norwalk.
Mrs. Parker and Dr Lambert, of
New York. have a lease ofthe island,
which will expire May 1, 1903, and the
trustees some time ego came to the
conclusion that they would like to dis-
pose cf the property before the time
arrived to renew the lease. Dr. Lam~
bert was asked if he wished to pur—
I chose, but he replied in the negative.
Negotiation were then opened with a
New Jersey gentleman. who came here
and looked the island char. and was
favorably impressed with it. It was
thought he might buy, and Mrs. Parker
was not consulted at‘the time.
It later came to the notice of the
trustees that Mrs. Parker was desirous
of knowing terms, etc. regarding the
island, and the trustees waited on her,
with the result that too sale was prac—
tically perfected. and the matter was
left with Real Estate Agent Jacob M
Layton to effect the transfer. ‘ ..
There were new dflreloplnents teddy,
however and Mr. 111 rather unex-
pectedly became the sole power. it is
probable that he will release the its
land to Dr..E W Lambert and Mrs.
Parker should they wish to continue
to’ occupy it next May.
Captain Nathan Roberts and the late
Oliver Weed leased the island from
Moses ByxbeeIIln 1847. ‘for a term of
live years. The old house now stand-
Ing there was built in 1848. and at the
expiration Messrs. Robertsiand Weed’ s

gather and purchased the island for ~
their protection. The first watchman
appointed for the oyster beds was lien-
ry Roberts, brother of Captain Nathan
and Henry remained there for several
years, being succeeded by Captain Na-
than who remained three years, when
the late Manning Decker took charge.
The latter was succeeded by Captain
Joseph B. Merrill who died about a
year ago. and was probably known to
every resident of The Norwalks. and
every boat owner along the Long is-
land sound. George Moore is the pres-
ent Watchman ut the island. While
