WILLIaANTIc, Conn.,, Oct. 16.-Once
more Wiliimantic is excited over a bank
ing trouble, and coming as II does in
the wake of the crash by which the first

the board of directors 1t became known
that the Willimantic Savings Institute,
had been forced to seek protection be-
hind the law providing for a four

posiis.
