 William Curran aged 49, died in St.
 Vincent's hospital in New York Friday morning after an illness of a few days. Mir. Curran was we'll known here hay ing conducted the cafe in the Springs
 House for number of years before
 going to Springfield. Previous to
 that he had lived in Danielson. He
 spent a good many years in New York where he ran various cafes. His nearest relative living is Mrs. c. G.. Gilligan. He also leaves nephew William B. Curran, in Roxbury, Mass. The funeral services were held in Pas coag, R. l., Monday morning and the burial was in the Catholic cemetery there. Miss Ruth o. Butterfeld, daughter
 of Henry o. Butterfield, and Frederick w. Young, son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred erick Young of Montville, were united in marriage at the Butterfield home on School street Saturday afternoon by
 Rev. N. w. Heermans. Miss Marion
 Butterfield acted as bridesmaid and Howard Sumner of Montville was best man. The bride wore blue serge suit and a black velvet and maline hat. The bridesmaid wore a dress of georgette crepe. The decorations were golden glow, hydrangea and ferns The wedding was a quiet one, only the near relatives being present. After the ceremony the couple left for a wedding trip.
 The firemen held their annual claIn- bake in Cooper Lane last Sunday and had a fine time. Many ex-iremen and invited guests were present. There were but two sporting events, the shot-put and quoit throwing. Michael
 Sullivan found it easy to win the former but the other event was an in teresting one. It had been almost a foregone conclusion that David Bis sett would win the quoit throwing, as he had done nearly every year previ- ous This year it was Eli Parizeau who took that event. Dave was de- feated by Ed. Clark in the semi-finals. Clark fell before William Slater, who met defeat at the hands of MT. Pari- zeau. MT. Bissett claims that the dis tance between the stakes was shorter than he was used to. MT. Clark agrees with him, so it is probable that there is something to his alibi.
 hot ho after Saturdays game is to wait till these two rivals battle for their third game and hope that the locals will
 make change from their present way of playing ball for change is certain ly needed. Saturdays game might easily have been won, but for the fact that the team was not working to- gether Personal feeling had been permitted to enter the locals ranks in this game with the result that things were not as they should have been. This state of affairs had been showing throughout the past few games and came to light better in this last game. Despite this fact Saturday afternoons s game was an interesting one. The
 hard hitting and snappy fielding of the
 outfields especially and the bantering
 and cheering crowds gave a tang of
 excitement to the game. Gilman
 worked very hard behind the bat and
 did much coaxing at all times, but the
 necessary spirit was not there so
 little could be expected. Calchera was
 a really bright light in the out-feld.
 The real feature of the game, how ever, was the hitting of the Monson
 men, especially that of Rourke. He
 proved to be a man worthy of attention from both fielders and pitcher. Gill
 man and Dickey were the locals best
