“faithful lack" Killed
by Cars and John Roardon.
Horn of Mobile. loses Ills
Mind—Has Not Eaten 0r
Slept for Iwo Days in lia-
rion lockup

Because his faithful dog "Jack"
which had been his only friend and com
panion for fourteen years, was killed
by the cars in Barton. last week. John
Roardon an old sailor in the United
States navy. who distinguished him-
self in the bottle of Mobile, is violent-
ly insane in c'padded cell in the Da-
ricn station house.

"Poor Jack" he means all day long
"Poor Jack". Ho and Tom and Aunt
Hannah will be here on the next train
and we will all have supper together.
“Poor Jack. Poor Jack.“

A week ago. Bacardon‘s dog. a black
mongrel which had been his constant
companion ever since his bosom fri-
end. Thomas Tongue. was sent, to the
state insane asylum at Middletown.
fourteen years ago. wandered upon the
railroad tracks and a train killed him.
Reordon. while looking for his dog.
found the remains on the track and
he has been luconsolabie ever since.
While the dog was alive. he was the
only link which connected his former
owner, now in the asylum, with Rear-
don. and his death will probably be the
means of bringing them together when
they will have the supper which he
is waiting for.

Two days ago. it was learned that
Reardon was insane and he became
violent toward some of his neighbors.
lle refused to eat. waiting until “Poor
Jack and Alint Hannah and Thomas
should come.” He has not eaten since
though numerous attempts have been
made to make him do so. Dr. G. H.
Home is attending him. but Reardon
neither cats nor sleeps. He believes
that he is guarding the supper tables
and that his friends will arrive on
the next train.

He drinks water frequently but for
two days no food has passed his lips.
He is evidently very weak fr m hun~
gcr and lack of sleep and h s voice
which was at first strong and hearty.
can now bardljy be heard as he wan-
ders up and own the cell moaning.
His oldest. friends have visited him
but he does not recognize them.

The- problem which the Barton au-
thorities are trying to solve. is how to
get him to eat something.

There will probably be a hearing in
regard to his sanity before Judge of
Probate Fred Taylor today. Darien
people are quite free in their criticism
of Judge Taylor for not having bad the
hearing before this so that Reardon
might be sent somewhere to be taken
care of by expert alienists.

Charles E. Moore a well known hat-

ing rescue. yesterday afternoon. Mr
Moore was passing along Wash

that it must be a ghost. but finally trac-

The dog had fallen into the sewer
well and was yelplng to get out.
Moore called McGowan. and the lat
ter held the grocer by the heels. while
he reached down and pulled the dog
out of the well. The dog did not stop
to show his thanks, but after shaking
himself in a way to cover his rescuers
with the contents of the sewer well.
started up the strce t singing softly to

Special Iowa Meeting
Males Application to State
for $9.000 to improve
Wosiport Avenue—Sos-
slon Was Very Brief

The soloctman finally succeded in
holding the special town meeting last
night. The sum of $9,000 was voted
and the meeting had been called to or-
der and adjourned in something like
five or six minutes.

This session was adjourned from the
night before and when Chairman Brad-
ley S. Keith called order there were
present about seventy persons, with an
occasional straggler while he was ex-
plaining the business of the meeting.

As Mr. Keith concluded. Dr. James
0. Gregory stepped forward offering a
resolution appropriating the sum of
89.000 for road improvements. It was
quickly seconded and no one carelng
to debate the measure it was put to a
rising vote. The result showed that
all present were unamlmoualy in favor
of it. The tellers. Messrs. Oscar
H. Banks and John W. Greenwood. an-
nounced that there were 73 affirma-
tive voters. All of the voters present
were on their feet.

A motion to adjourn was then offer-
cd and the meeting was over with a
laugh. many considering that it was
quite comical to have a town meeting
over so quickly and yet transact so
much business.

The selectman called the meeting to
take advantage of the state appropri-
ation for roads and their intention is
to make the comtcmplated improve-
ments to Westport avenue. which will
be very extensive and will undoubted-
ly be a boon to the people in the vicin-
ity of the town it is proposed to grade
the street in a number of places and
rewalk the thoroughfare. Westport
will improve the section of the avenue
in that town and it to expected that
both towns will have the work done
in conjunction with each other.

The nelectmen were very anxious to
have a meet
as application to the state for the
town's share of mad money had to be
made before next Sunday. August 16th.
The voting of this meeting virtually
means an application to the state for
the town's share of the road money.
for under the provisions of the stat-
nice for even dollar the town pays
out for mnduork. the state returns
two. or in other words the town will
have to pav only one third of the cost
of making the improvement which has
been recommended llV State Highway
Contmisioner Mchonald of Hartford.

in addition to the rebuilding of the
avenue in many places the tmlley
track will be shifted to the south side of
the roadbcd. making it possible for a
good unobstructed roadway for teams.

downport on But Slightly Injured Af-
ter Thirty Foot Fall from a
Tree.

 

 

Samuel Henshaw. 16 year old son of
Wiliam Henshaw. of Southport. fell
thirty feet from the top of a cherry
tree to the ground below and after re-
maining unconscious for two days.
awoke yesterday and is apparently as
well as ever now. with the excep-
tion of a few slight bruises and com
tusions. The boy is a nephew of Se-
lectman Charles Waterbury. of Darlen.

Ilenshaw. in company with a number
of companions of about his own age.
had rigged a strong cable from the
top of a cherry tree thirty feet in the
air to another tree some distance off.
To this cable they had attached a sort
of cradle made of straps and pulleys
down which they could slide. The car
was pulled back to the taller by means
of a string and they were having a
jolly time with the machine.

Henshaw had just climbed to the
top of the taller tree-and was wait-
ing his turn to go down the slide when
in some way he lost his balance and
fell headlong from the tree. He was
unconscious when discovered by his
boy companions and was taken into
the house. It was found that no bones
had been broken or internal injuries
sustained. For two days he remain-
ed unconscious and then woke up.
