"Jirn' Daly Boss of City's Tar Gang was Efficient
 Worker, Substan- tial Citizen,
 Fine Friend.
BY THE OUT EASTER

James J. Daly of 27 Walnut ave- nue was buried Monday.
 You may have known Jim Daly, and then again you may not have ever noticed him. But the chances are you will recall him when we tell you just who he was.
 For years the city of Waterbury has been laying sidewalk and asphalt pavements. And in the early days, the street pavement in several highways was also laid by this department. That was at the time the late William Mo- Carthy was at the head of this corps of workers. MT. Daly was his first "kick". The two did so fine in the line of work allotted them that all of the newspapers commented most favorably. The eagle eye of each other always produced a smooth and even line of travel. The cost, too, was kept down, and compared, at the time, as we remember, price, lower than any contained in the bids received. Billy Mccarthy was a hustler, so was Jim Daly; and these two had men under them that produced results never ques- toned by anyone.
 MT Mccarthy died back some years; MT. Daly took his place as boss of the "tar" gang, a job he held right up to the very end. The work was distasteful at times, due to the heat, and odor of the cooked asphalt, but in spite of that it was seldom Jim Daly was ever seen on the job without stiff collar and white shirt. Often he smoked his pipe, as he raked the hot asphalt back and forth, and no doubt it must have been re- lief to him to inhale other than the fumes that came from the mixture he was placing in the roadway.
 Friendly and sociable, Jim Daly struck us as a fellow we would like to know, just from observa- ton of the man, but the years passed on and on, without an op- portunity on our part of ever meeting him. Yet, we had watched him at his work for years; we never saw him lose 8 second or take time out for anything; he worked with a will and determ- ination to provide the best in him.
 They tell us that Jim Daly's early days were spent in the Brooklyn district; that he lived over that way for years, and was known by many of the old time families of that part of the town.
 No matter where he lived, Jim Daly, was to our way of study, good and substantial citizen, 8 hard worker, steady and reliable, and earned fully every penny paid by his employer.
 We mourn him for the respect and good will we had for him, purely from an observation point of view.

SERVANT SPENT
 lODAYS IN CAVE

Brookline, Mass, May "A. ,(UP)- Katherine Davis, 25-year-old domes- tic, returned to civilization today after spending 10 lonely days and nights in a stone cave in the wood- lands on the outskirts of Brookline.
 The young woman, reported miss ing May IS from the Brookline home of Ernest Lamb where she had been employed for Sthe past six months, was found sitting at the side of Worcester Turnpike by Patrolman Thomas J. Ochilette. Her clothes were torn and her stockings were in tatters.
 Miss Davis, who police said ap- parently suffered amnesia after a nervous breakdown, was reluctant to discuss her experience. After a hot meal provided by officers, she was sent to her Plymouth home.
 Police said she did not know what prompted her disappearance but re- lated how she had hid in the small cave during most of the time.

Judge Miles F. McNiff granted a mistrial in the $5,0OO civil action of Rose Basile against the Connec- ticut Railway & Lighting Company, which had been in session in the court of common pleas the last two and one half days.
 The jury was excused, subject to call for another case, and the Basile action was put over for reassign- ment on Friday. It has required almost two days to poll the jury.
 First evidence was heard yester- day afternoon, at which time At torney Michael V. Blansfield, coun- sel for the plaintiff, stated that de- fefSe Attorney l.. l.. Lewis had mis- interpreted the meaning of one of the. claims in the complaint.
 Recognizing the conflict, Judge McNiff suggested at the close of court yesterday that counsel be pre- pared today to give clear impress sion of the meaning of the claim. This suggestion was complied with today, resulting in demurrer to the claim by Attorney Lewis, and subsequently, the granting of the miStrial by Judge McNiff.
 The woman claimed she was in- jured in August, 1888, in a fall over trolley tracks on North Main street.

Thomaston Sports
BY JACK WATERS


 Members of the high school track team are proudly displaying the ribbons they won in the Litchfield County Y. M. c. A. track and field meet held in Litchfield last Satur- day. The Thomaston. entry dorn- mated the entire meet, rolling up 189 1-2 points to successfully de- fend the title they won last year. Local athletes were first in eigh- teen events with most of the vic- tories being won outside the senior class. The Junior Republic fin- ished in the runner up spot with 119 1-2 points. Al Ebner, who has done an excellent job of coaching the Thomaston team, is now putting his charges through some stiff workouts in preparation for the state meet to be held at Westport June 3.
 There was a touch of irony in the high school baseball teams first victory of the season which came at the expense of Terryville. Md dlebrooks, Thomaston hurler, had a no-hit, no-run game going into the final frame when Randall Pratt. brother of a local teacher, came through with the only hit of the af- ternoon.
 Pickup = The Seth Thomas soft ball team came out in their new uniforms Saturday and engaged in a non-league tilt. The uniforms made by far the better showing. The Seth Thomas coach, whose name we don't recall at the moment, has now threatened to insert himself in the lineup. Taking our life in our hands we interrupted Christo- pher Columbus Martin while he was listening to Buck Rogers in the Twenty Fifth Century, to ask him the winner of the Baer-Nova bout. After a great display of reluctance the Proud Prophet finally named Nova as the winner. On com pletion of the first four games, Mid dlebrooks, high school pitcher, has allowed 12 hits and has famed 5l batters In two appearances against Terryville he has set down 30 men via the strikeout route and has allowed hits.
