Both DO Well in Training.

In training at the Velodrome the
past week Rutt and Grenda have
shown such superior form it is hard
to figure any of the rest of the stars
as having a chance against them.
Rutt is plugging well and so is
Grenda. Rutt is sprinting in mid
season form and so is the Tasma-
MAN Their plugging ability seems to
be about equal, and the time they
have made in their sprints shows not
a fraction of a second in favor of
one over the other Goullet and Clark
are showing good form, but they are
not moving like the big German and
the giant from the South Seas. 1t
is Grenda who will give the champion
battle and it will be the battle of
his life.

Americans Appear to he Weak.

American opposition will be rather
weak unless Joe Fogler and Frank
Cavanagh show surprising form.
Fogler is in good form, but it is hard
to figure either of them in their very
best form as having much of
chance against Rutt. 1t is peculiar
situation and rather unusual In
American athletics to find foreign
invader with worlds title in our
midst and not a Yankee with a
chance to beat him.

Grenda Faster Than Ever.

Bigger, stronger and faster than
ever, Grenda is being touted not only
as the man who will take Rutt s
measure, but a very promising posi-
bility in the American championship
this year. 1t is an astonishing pre-
die ton to say that Grenda will beat
Rutt, but when they say that Grenda
has q very good chance to wrest from
Kramer his long held title, it is hard
to believe that anyone familiar with
the sport would make such d predic-
ton.
Both OF these predictions have been
made, and coming from veteran rid
crs who know well the ability of the
three riders it Is not TO be diregarded
In training Grenda surely has shown
great form this spring. He is a
tower of strength as a plugger and
he is sprinting so much faster than
last year, and with a great jump TO
his sprint, something he never pos
sessed before he is certainly a very
dangerous man for the champions to
stack uD against.

RUTT HAS GRENDA
To WATCH SUNDAY
Tasmanian Giant Riding in
Great Form and Many Pre-
dict His Success.
YANKEE OPPOSITION WEAK

Big ALI Grenda, the silent giant
from faraway Tasmania, is the man
Walter Rutt, of Germany, worlds
champion, will have to beat when
the latter makes his American debut
at the Velodrome Sunday. He will
meet with opposition from ALI Gren-
da and Jackie Clark, and Frank Cav
anagh and Bob Spears will also make
a brave effort to drag the champion
and his title in the dust, but it is
the man from Tasmania who will be
his most dangerous opponent.

Grenda and Rutt will come to-
gether in the overture prize, a
scratch race at two-thirds of mile,
and the Stanley handicap which is at
one mile. They will meet on even
terms In the scratch race, but in the
handicap Grenda will have the advan-
tage of handicap of ten yards. They
are both great handicap riders and
if they meet in the final of the
Stanley, there is sure to be race
that will be long remembered. If the
weather is favorable, it would not
be surprising to see the race the
fastest in the history of the Stanley
event Instead of Sinking when it
is their turn to take the pace, as
some stars are wont to do, Rutt and
Grenda are both noted for making
the going faster when they are in
front and If it was later in the sea-
son there might be chance of Great
ing new record for the distance.

 Will Organize Creamery Association.
 A few farmers from the northwest ern corner Of Killingly will be at Pom fret today (Saturday) to attend the meeting for the formation of a cream cry association in that place. The or ganizing of the farmers now seems certain, as it has been ascertained that the district to be served by the creamery contains more than 800 cows and the interest of their owners in the proposed plan is quite widespread.

 Alleged Wife Withdraws Claim.

A few matters on the short calendauk were disposed of at Fridays sessione including the case of Eliza Murray on Pomfret vs. the Brotherhood of Loco motive Bremen and Enginemen. Mrs. Murray was the mother of John E. Murray, who died in New Haven, and whose life was insured in the brother hood for a, 300. After his death two claimants of the insurance money ap- peared, the ,younge mans mother, Mrs. Eliza Murray and one Adelaide Le- brecque, whose place Of residence was not mentioned, but who set forth that she was Mr.z zMurray's. wife Her claina has since been withdrawn and, as stat4 ed in court by Attorney Charles Fl Searls, representing the brotherhood, there is no longer a reason. why Mrs Murray should not receive the mone.a which the brotherhood has been hold ing until a court should decide which claimant was rightfully entitled to the S1,60O, less the expense for counsel fees to the company and serving of papers, this amounting to about s84e0. Attor- ney E. C. Morse, representing Mrs. Murray. contended that she should bs allowed interest on the s1,5o0 from tha time of her sons death up to the tima that the matter came into the court for adjustment This feature of the case was taken under consideration by the court.

THIRTEEN REASONED.

Mack. laborer 10 years
 The amount of the pensions is not known definitely. and the officials here did not care to state, but it is in the neighborhood of half pay The com pany's action is in line with that of many corporations, as 8 reward to faithful service. and also with the gen. eral policy of the company, which is very liberal in the CaGe of accidents and sickness. So much go i'll fact, that for that reason. as many think, the American Thread company did not choose to come under the new com pensation act. but preferred to stand on it's own record of generous aid.

 the days session of the superior court
 here Friday. Judge NJ. A. Shumway
 presiding. MT. Moran alleged against
 his wife a charge of adultery as his ground for divorce Mrs. Moran enter
 ing a charge of cruelty in her com

 East Killingly. where they have lived all of their lives and are still resident. He said they have one daughter. child of five.
 He based his charge of adultery against his wife on the results of his
 investigation of her visits at night to
 mil, at East killingly. He had watched her and had seen her emerge from the darkened plant and had seen
 a man going out another door. He was sharply cross examined by Attor- ney Torrey and denied that he had ever abused his wife or ever. failed to provide a good home for her. Moran admitted having cohabited with his wife after he felt convinced that she was guilty of the charge against her. William ?. Robbins, night watchman at the mill where Mir Moran claimed his wife had gone at night. testified that he had seen Mrs. Moran in the plant at night and under compromis- ing conditions. He said that man connected with the mill was with her at these times

 Mrs. Florence Swails who died in Norwich Wednesday, was at one time resident of this town. She is re- membered as a hard working woman and a good, helpful neighbor.
 When the storm struck in again Friday morning the railroad men were completely discouraged. The roads were just getting passable for the school children from the surrounding farms and for those who were draw storm and severe cold had made a great demand for fuel which the bad roads had made it hard to supply.
 oId-Time Snowstorms.
 Our parents say: "We don't have such winters and such snows now as there were when I was young. Palmer lane and the Whipple road were full for weeks at time every winter then. When the snow came in those good old-fashioned times the farmers who had teams put them together and made paths the nearest way to the village (often across the lots) so that all who had teams could get out one
 
 stayed filled with snow until the Lord saw fit to clear them out. The road from the Armstrong place to the north road was often full for weeks at a time and it was no uncommon thing for a team to get as far as Armstrong; s and have to shovel out so as to turn around and go back by Jason Latin rOp's only to find the road again closed beyond Jeremiah Sullivan's. Then he must make another turn and try the road by the Dean place, which did not fill so badly. Another snag was through Flat Rock woods and an other on the Allen Davis road. In fact few of the narrow back roads were cleared out until spring unless by a big rain or when someone was serious ly ill and doctor must be got through School children walked on the drifts, went around through the lots or stay ed at home and when the snow melted away the roads were washed to their very foundation and in many places there were holes where the bottom seemed to have fallen out completely and other towns were the same"
 One Session of School.
 Schools closed Friday noon for the remainder of the day on account of the storm
 The recent high water washed out part of the underpinning in the Lappord building and the street on that side is closed until 1t can be re- paired.
