Hold and Bunglin&.

A bold and bungling piece of work was done by three men in the robbery line last Wednesday. They entered Mrs. Julia A. Biekford's millinery store, 138 Olive street, on the pretense of making some purchases. The man who first entered acted so queerly that Mrs. Bickford immediately had her suspicious aroused and grew very nervous. The two others appeared later and one of them engaged the attention of the lady while the others looked about and found her reti- cule which was kept on a shelf back of the counter and was used as the money drawer. The loss of the reticule was not noticed un- til the thieves had departed, but Mrs. Bick- ford had suspected that something was wrong from the appearance of the men. She could give no description accurate enough to be of any use to the police who went to in- vestigate the affair. The reticule contained $500 in money. It is thought that the men may have been strangers, but if they were they must have been put up to the job by some one well acquainted with the premises and Mrs. Bickford's custom of keeping her money where she did

An unknown man, apparently German, was found December 20, frozen stiff and hanging from a tree in Joseph Griffen's woods, on King street, Greenwich. It was probably a case of suicide. The man was faily well dressed, and his appearance did not give the impression that he had been tramp, or was crazy. On his person nothing was found that gave the slightest clue as to who he was or where he came from. In his pockets were four cents, some chewing tobac- co and penknife

Snspecfed RaisoninS.

Medical Examiner White is engaged in making an autopsy upon the body of Katie Wilhelm, the 14-year-old daughter of Charles Wilhelm of 5S Artisan street, who died sud denly Wednesday evening in convulsions. Dr. NJ. F. Linquist attended the girl during her illness, and he thought her death might have been caused by eating poisonous matter in candy and pickles, of which she had par taken freely. The girls parents discredit the poisoning theory and believe that death was caused from fall which she received several years ago. The accident produced a fracture of the skull and the surgeons who treated the case removed several fragments of the broken bone. Miss Wilhelm's health was never good after this accident. The re- suit of the autopsy is not known vet
