Are Shut Out.
Councilman Kent,chairman of the po-
lice committee, has instructed Chief
Bradley to refuse lodging to all tramps.
He felt forced to do this in view of the
fact that Selectman Selleck has given
positive orders that no tramps be pro-
vided with lodging at the station-house
which is the property of the town.
Some provision. however, ought and
probably will be made in the future for
the transient housing of the poor un-
fortunate creatures who may be forced
to call for aid for shelter ' from the
piercing blasts of winter.

Dr. Higgins’ Horse Gored.
Dr. R. L. Higgins’ horse received a
serious injury last evening. The dealer
was driving around the corner at the
Van Buren residence, when a team com.
ing from an opposite direction and
driven at a rapid rate collided with his
horse. One 'ofthe’stiafts of the other
turnout was driven fully six inches in-
to the breast of the (it ct )r’s animal.
The doctor asked- the name of the care-
less driver'and was told that it was none
of his business. A bystander saw the
collision and the guilty party will be
called upon to settle.

Ollicer Thought His Prisoner
Had Escaped
Takes a Train For §,ridgeport.‘: '
As published exclusively in the EVEN-
ING GAZETTE yesterday; Officer Bradley,
of Danbury, came down to South Nor.-
walk with a prisoner named John Rear-
don who was sentenced to 30 days in
jail_ in the Danbury police cou‘rt for
drunkenness.
When South Norwalk was reached
Reardon suddenly disappeared and the
officer, unable to find him, gave" the
alarm and Constables Ireland and
Allen secured a team' and drove to
Rowayton in. hopes of capturing him,
but failed to find any trace of the
missing prisoner.
It now turns out that Beardon, who
had no thought of making- an escape,
had only stepped into another (1111'.
While the officer was looking fer him
Reardon waited at the station for the
train to Bridgeport,’a‘nd when it came
along, boarded it. Upon arrivmg there,
he started to look up an oflicer, and "in
his search met Sheriff Hawley,‘ whom
he knew by sight. He stepped up to
the sheriff and requested him to take
him in custody. He told his story. and
Sherifi‘ Hawley escorted him to' his of-
fice, where he telephoned to Danbury
to inquire if Reardon had really been
convicted. He learned that it was so,
and held Reardon until Oflicer Bradley
arrived on a later train with a mittimus
to convey him to the jail.
Reardon was sent to jail last Septem-
ber, and during his visit there became
very fond of‘ the quarters.’ This (is
probably why he did not make his es-
cape when the opportunity offered it-
