directly attributed to the high tenn
perature. A resident of that city
decided TO sleep on a porch Satur-
day night, walked In his sleep and
fell over railing to the ground,
sustaining fatal injuries.
The temperature in Waterbury
yesterday reached the 30 degree
point. On Saturday the % point
was touched. The temperature was
at 90 degrees from about 1880
o'clock to 4 o'clock and then began
