 Early Monday morning, as M. L.. Dimock came to open his store, he was somewhat astonished to find the door ajar, and that 1t had been pred open with an iron bar, wrenching the lock from its fast enings. The marks of the bar on the door and it's sill were plainly visible. The lock- ed money drawer had been torn from the counter, and its contents, consisting only of pennies, scattered on the floor beneath. Nothing was taken, as, far as MT. Dimock vet knows, but dozen or so of oranges ar d few bakers cookies. It was queer little burglary, the queerest part of it be- ing the fact that the burglar or burglars subjected themselves to g term of from one to twenty years in state prison for the sake of few cookies and oranges.

 A $500 horse and carriage stolen from the stable of Edward s. Davis, of Rock vile, Friday night, by Fred Watson, were recovered at the Massasoit stables at Spring. field. Watson stopped at the Massasoit House, Friday night, and skipped his bill in the morning. He has not been appre- hended.
 The Springfield Republican says that Watson 'hired horse with the intention of going to Suffield, but decided to change hls plans owing to illness, and when he ar- rived at the Massasolt House tainted away. He was taken to the city hospital, but left directions that tfe Rockville livery man should be told the whereabouts of his property. There was probably some delay in delivering the message, which which gave the owner unnecessary trouble and was the source of unpleasant reports concerning Watson's integrity.
