The fellow succeeded in turning the night latch of the front door, but when he opened the door there was continuous ringing of bells, ocausing the dogs in the house to bark with a viclous snap. The commotion naturally caused the intruder to leave the premises in double-quick time. The visitor had no intention of noti- £ying the people in the house of his presence by ringing the door bell, but the burglar alarm recently installed by Mr. Peterson worked in fist class style.

There was considerable excitement and commotion in Dixon square for a short time Wednesday afternoon, when at 4.30, a driverless horse, with sway- ing buggy came from Elm street at top speed and swung into Broad street and the square. The horse sped on towards the Pawcatuck river bridge. At Main street, the buggy smashed in- to the rear of an automobile and would probably have done damage to the car and perhaps seriously injured the three occupants, but for the skilful manipulation of Frederick Fox, the chauffeur. He saw the runaway horse approaching and in an instant turned the car at speed into Mafn street, just n time to_escape the full force of the fmpact. The buggy struck the rear wheel of the car and was wrecked, but the only damage to the car was a bent mudguard. The car was evident- Iy struck on the hub and not even the varnish on the wheel or body of the car was scratched. The horse was captured and further damage prevent- e | The attomobile belonged to Mrs. Joel English of Hartford; the pas- sengers were Mrs. Plympton and the two Misses Bacon of Hartford.
