 Reside in Swamp.
 What is believed to be a story far superior to any which has come from the vicinity of Winsted was told this morning by kensngton resident of a chicken with her three little chicks who lives in swamp near the rail- road tracks in the rear of Frank Fogliati's store.
 The mother hen has made her abode in this swamp for several weeks and is known to come out of her hid ing place but once a day and that is at about 9:30 o'clock in the morning when feed is thrown on the spot where papers are burned by employees of the store. The mother hen, which as Rhode Island Red, is fol- lowed by her three little White Leg horn chicks. People around the store have made several attempts to find where the mother hen keeps her self with the three little chicks but they have proved fruitless
 It has also been reported that there is q black cat which keeps the hen and her chicks company and also resides in the swamp. The cat has been caught several times by children but each time has succeeded in gain Ing her freedom and makes wild dash for her abode among the growth of the swamp. The cat, it Is claimed, lives in the swamp only in the sum ner time and stays in the cellar of the store in the winter.
