NO RECEIVER PROBABLE.
For Windham County Savings Bank
 Postponed Sine Die.


 The postponement sine die of the hearing on the application of the state bank commissioners for the ap- pointment of a receiver for the Wind ham County Savings bank put an end to the possibility of further develop ments in the situation for the remain der of the summer it is confidently believed here by persons in close touch with the situation and there are some who unodicially declare 1t their opinion that a receiver will neV- CT be appointed.
 In support of this belief, however, those who know something of local banking affairs point out that the Windham County Savings banks earnings since it was closed on Au- gust 9th of last year, nearly twelve months ago, are in excess or S4O,O0O, a far greater sum than has ever been mentioned as representing the 1nSu- tution's shortage, which the bank of ficials have always claimed never ex- isted, and if this be true the bank is solvent, which also has always been the steadfast contention of the officers and directors
 An official of the bank said Satur- day that he sak no reason why the depositors should not receive dollar for dollar on their accounts. The directors of the bank exhibit the greatest confidence in their ability to deluOHSlFdle to ally |ouie ttpr eiiDAA institution is solvent and are now very confident that ultimately the bank will be released from the re- straining order that has been in force for nearly year and will proceed to dc business again.
 It is claimed by authoritative sources as far as the banks interests are concerned that differences in ap- praisal of the institutions securities as made by apnraisers representing the bank commissioners and other ap-
 praisers representing the bank ac- counts for disparity between the to- tals of the value of the assets arrived atone set of appraisers fixing one set of values the other set of ap-

praisers fixing another set, the above referring to real estate holdings, in which class of securities the bank has approximately half million dollars invested. In substantiation of their contention that the banks is a cor rect appraisal of the institutIon's real estate holdings directors point to the fact that the bank has not made a loss in ten years on real estate; also to the fact that a big parcel of real estate in New Haven, purchased near ly two score years ago by a former group of bank directors. land long regarded as a poor investment, has increased in value with extreme rapi- dity during the past few years and is now a very valuable holding.
 The heavy earnings of the bank during the time it has been closed, they hold, offsets, in any event, diff terence in appraisal as affecting the banks solvency.

STRUCK NORWICH CAR.
w. H. Hibberd Injured While Riding Wheel-Howard Kinney Driving Automobile.

Walter H. Hibberd, the proprietor of a store on North street, while riding a bicycle, Saturday afternoon, collided with an automobile driven by How ard Kinney of Norwich. MT. Hib- berd was taken to the office of Dr. T. R. Parker, where it was found he had badly sprained left wrist, long deep cut on the forehead, a deep cut on the left cheek near the eye and a deep cut on the left side of the upper lip.
 Kinney's version of the accident is that Hibberd turned down Prospect onto Walnut street and the automobile was going up Walnut. Another bi- cycle turned down Prospect onto Wal nut street which Hibberd was watch ing. His wheel ran into the rear mud guard on the left side of the auto mobile and Hibberd's cuts on the forehead cheek and lip were caused by striking the handle of the rear door of the car and the top hinge. The rear mud guard of the automobile was bent showing where the bicycle had struck | it. William c. Dreschler was in the car with Kinney at the time of the accident.

 Another Burglary.
 Another burglary at Heath's shop, near the foundry, has been reported to the police. As at othe- times that the store has been broken into within the last few months, there is no trace of the thieves. This time about $50 worth of fishpoles were taken, lancewood, split bamboo and others of expensive mako. The police are puzzled over the constant pilfering that has been done at the Heath shop, but as yet have been unable to fix the responsibility upon anyone though from the nature fo the things that have been taken at different times it is assumed that young men are doing the breaking and entering.

the Camp Perry meet. He could not get
from where he was visiting to the Man

row boards. one above the other. against
an eight panel in Il bay window facing on
in busy street. Against these sticks he
pinned five targets. opened the doors
through three room to the back of the
house, took up his position as far back
as he could get from the window. and
with the aid Of one electric light hung
above the iInprovivscd butts" fired fifty
shots. Luckily for paSSerS-by-and the
plate glass window-the shots all found
the targets and the back stops. Needless
TO say, practice under lust these condi-
tons cannot be recommended to either
novice or expert.
Also they saw that at the Olympic
ameS. while many of the contestants were
highly excited over the worlds champion

some snap shots on another part of the
field and return as cool as q Judge for
