Police Protection
Needed in fast Norwalit

Several Citizens Held Up Under the
Fort Street Bridge, and One
House Entered.

 

The need of police protection In East
Norwalk has again been emphasized.
Several ladies have lately been stopped
on the streets, held up and insulted by
a man. Several nights ago, however
Oscar Seymour :1 moulder. who is out
played in the Norwalk Lock factory,
was held up while passing under the
Fort street bridge which Is one of the
darkest and lonellest of the tunnels un-
der the railroad embankment. Mr. Sey-
‘noui was passing through, on his way
to his home. when suddenly a man step
ped out from the shadows and demand-
ed his money. Mr. Seymour refused
to give it to him and the highwayman
struck him a violent blow on the head
with a club, inflicting a slight cut.

Mr. Seymour called loudly for help
and several men who were within hear-
ing heeded his call. They ran to his
assistance and as the highwayman saw
them coming he fled up the road. It
was impossible to find him. No ade
quate description was received of the
fellow. A few nights ago two snst
piclous characters were seen standing
in East avenue keeping in the shadow
of the trees. A man who did not care
to have his name used happened to be
passing by, when one of them stepped
out and asked him what time it was.
He guessed at the time and hurried on.
The men made no attempt to hold him
up, however. A short time ago some
one entered the cellar of a house In

East avenue and made an attempt to

get up stalrI. Fortunately the doors
were fastened. The members of the
family heard the noise and in moving
about startled the marauder. who made
his escape. He did not succeed in get-
ting anything.

Started from Bonfire

The City of Norwalk fire department
was called out at 3:15 o'clock yester-
day afternoon. to quench a threatening
blaze in the rear of Jones and Hutch-
kiss' store in Wall street. Fortunate-
iy for the owners of the. building the
flames did not get into the building.

The blaze was apparently the result
\f (arelessness, as it was caused by a
unall bonfire During the afternoon
some rubbish had been burned and the
:mouldcring remains communicated
the flames to a pile of packing hay and
:everal ladders that were piled up
.iougside the store building.

An alarm was turned In from box
lit, at the corneI of Main and Wall
streets, the Phoenix hose wagon and
i’iuneer truck responding. The re-
.nains of the little blaze were still
smouldering when the firemen arrived,
but the danger was past. as bystanders
and others had gone to work to put
out the fire.- A small garden hose was
drought into requisition from the Hen-
.iee shop nearby.

The Phoenix Company laid a line of
rose and destroyed all semblance of a
be with a stream of water.

The. damage. when figured up.
amounted to one destroyed ladder.
the flames had become very aggres-
sive for the paint on the side of the
building for several square feet was
severely scorched.

The building Is an old one and had
the blaze had just a little more time
to mature a good sized fire would un-
doubtedly have resulted.

A large crowd was drawn to the
scene by reason of the blaze being in
the center of the city and the Fire
Police found it necessary to stretch a
line across the alleyway, where the
fire had occurred. Chief of Police
Bradley was also on hand and kept
the small boys out of the way.

Part of the crowd was soaked with
water, when a length of hose burstcd.
Considerable of the city's hose Is in
bad shape, it is said, and yesterday
somewhat proved it. A crack several

ed to deliver the address at the men's

tion. and one realizes that he means
just what he says. Being a railroad
man his address will be of Interest to
all the employees of the New York.

be given to W. A. Doty in his solo
work. One thousand cards have been
distributed. and any who fail to hear
Mr. Wardrop will have none to blame
but themselves.

rd that the directors will see their way
clear to again take up the educational
work. similar to last winter.

A large Delegation of
Gookenoe Iribe lied Men
Royallv fntertained by Onax
Iribe. last Night—long
laiiis followed by a Supper

A delegation of about seventy~five
members of Cockenoe Tribe, I. 0, R.
M,. of Norwalk, accompanied the fa-
mous traveling canoe to Stamford last
evening. The Norwalkers report that
they were royally etertalned by their
Stamford friends and the visit will be
pleasurably remembered for a long
time.

The start was made from Norwalk
on a trolley car at 7:37. and the ac-
commodation train, leaving South Nor-
walk at B o'cloek, conveyed the delega-
tion to Stamford.

Upon their arrival in Stamford, the
lied Men were met by a delegation of
One): Tribe members, who, amid a
blaze, of red fire. with war whoops and
music, led the way to their wigwnm.

Here the canoe was formerly turned
over to Onax Tribe by Sachem J. Wil-
liam Rowe, of Coekenoe Tribe, in a
neat speech, to which Sachem Erliardt.
of (Max Tribe, responded in a grace
ful manner. There were a number of
"long talks." among the Norwalk In-
dians participating being Past Snchems
Wiliam l, Comstock, Frederick H. Mal-
kin, Howard N. Godfrey, Frederick
Benger and Aaron Decker, A number
of the members of Onax Tribe also
spoke.

At the conclusion of the session at
the wigwam an adjournment was taken
to the G. A. R, Hall. where a very
elaborate collation had been prepared.

At the conclusion of this part of the
celebration, there was a further social
time. and some of the Norwalkers went
to the dance held at the Stamford arm-
ory.

The traveling canoe was in the pos-
session of Cookenoe Tribe for a num-
ber of weeks. It is the property of To-
antic Tribe, of Waterbury. and com-
menced its journey from that citysomo-
thing like two years ago. Since then
it has visited many tribes all over
the state, each of which has attached
an article or mlnnture of an article
manufactured in the city visited.

Cockenoe Tribe attached a small
launch propeller. properly engraved.
The tiny propeller was made by the
Norwalk Brass Company. The wheel
was presented to the tribe by the com-
pany.

The canoe and its stand are now prac-
tically covered with articles represent-
ing the industries of the cities visited
and it presents a novel sight It will
probably be placed on exhibition In the
window of some. store in Stamford.
For some time while in Norwalk It was
in one of the windows of the. Glendon-

,nlng pharmacy at the corner of Wall

and Main streets.

Cockenoc Tribe will hold a meetllng
this evening in Red Men's Hall In the
Gazette building. The degree team
will rehearse the adoption degree,

es. Most of them want bookkeeping
and mathematics. Others there are
who desire to learn the rudiments of
an education.

The registration this year is larger
than that of previous years and there
are always a number who come In af-
ter the session opens. The teachers
in South Norwalk are Miss Anna E.
Baldwin. Mrs. Cornelia Bennett and
Miss Anna Dickerman.

In the Over River School the regis-
tration has been small, but this Is not
taken as a sign that the evening
schools will not be. well attended as
many pupils do not put in an appear-
once until the session begin The regu-
lar common school branches will be
taught. Mrs. Clarence B. Nolend will
be the leather at the Over River
School.
