Redding June f27 1.-TWO horses bes longing to John Muennich of the Ridge store died recently under cir cumstances which at first aroused suapfcions of poisoning although on in vestdgation by pr. Knapp, the Dan- bury veterinarian, led him to the conclusion that 1t was only al case Of coincidence and natural causes. One of the horses dropped dead on Mon- day last and the other the Monday previous both expiring with flash like suddenness. The firat apparently had a cold and discharge from the nOstriIs caused the conjecture that it
 might be case of Elanders. The veterinary says however, that 1t was not case of glanders, but of pneu- monia.s Tn the case Of the other ani- mai collie and rupture of the in- by opening the body after the removal of the carcass to Bridgeport. No1trace of glanders was apparent such aA probably would have bene found had the mate cen affected with that high -Iy contagious adisease sss with the attention of the State high- way department the hometown road from Adams Corner ito the Center having just been re-surveyed and staked. While there is no authorita- tive declaration on the subject the understanding is that construction work on this section will precede that on the section of the east and west road fro mthe Center to Library cor ner which was laid out a short time previously. Such precedence would be in acord with the conformitive needs of the two projects and with the pub7 lie wishes The Aelectmen were not

It is feared that the Park road project, which is hardly less urgent, will go over 10 another year The oiling of the Ridge road TT greatly desired by the residents who feel, however. that the job should be done by the State apd who are there- fore awaiting Mr.s MAcdonald's reply
 to the appeal made to him before unr Own expense. ? zsss ss.
