 Tn years to come a number of Staf- good a tale as anyone of the time they were held up by the drifting snow on wild. windy night in midwinter, and all they will be doing will be telling of what happened to them last Satur- day night when the power went off causing a IA hour tie up on the inter urhan trolley line. Many Stafford folks, some who had been shopping and others working in Hartford, start ed for home at about two o'clock in the afternoon. At East Hartford they had to wait till nearly six o'clock before they could continue. When their car reached Snipsic lake the power went off. It did not come on again till Sunday morning. After vainly waiting for the juice" to come ack the occupants of the car, about 30 in number, started to make shift for the rest of the journey. An auto truck was obtained and took in load. The rest were crowded into sleigh. It was nearing four a. m. when the last one of the many drifts were passed through and the storm battered ones sought the shelter of their homes.
