their fight last night to be represented

get some notriety in the line of music

SHOWS GRUB WORMS IN EAST
Temperance Party, Testlfes
10 Phenomenon.

Winsted, Conn.-Abram c. Shelly
an aged and stanch member OF the
temperance party, while walking along
Torringford street the other morning
during n snowstorm. perceived hun,
dreds of live grub worms on top OF
the snow. He gathered handful Of
them and brought them to Winsted to
corroborate his statement In a warm
room the worms appeared rs lively m
In the summer.
Shelly is certain the worms did NOT
crawl up through five inches of snow
and the only way he can account for
their presence on the snow Is that the
winds picked them up In the South
and they came down In Winsted With
the snowstorm.
