Waterbury Watch,

Burglars gained admission to the
residence of Mr.. ID. II. Dwight on
the corner of Pacific avenue and
Elm street sometime during Thurs
day night by prying the latch of an
awning In the rear of the house.
They entered the washroom, which
adjoins the kitchen, and then pro-
ceeded to generally overhaul every
apartment of the house. The door
leading to the dining-room from the
kitchen, which Is generally locked
upon retiring at night, was pried
open.
The thieves went through Mrs.
Dwights secretary In the sitting
room and obtained ten dollars in
money, after which they proceeded
upstairs and entered Mr.. ID. Dwight,
Sr. g, sleeping room and ransackcd
the clothes closets thoroughly, TAX
ing the clothes which Mr.. Dwight
had been wearing and which Were
lying on II chair beside his bed, into
the hall, where they went through
them, obtaining, however, only
about eight dollars in change.
Mrs. Dwight had upon retiring ac-
cidentally placed pillow In front of
the door of her room. This door was
partly opened by the burglars, but
finding AN obstruction on the inside
they did not enter. In this rom
most of the valuables of
the house are contained.
The thieves also took bundle of
underwear belonging to Mr.. Dwight,
but upon finding his initials hempe,l
ON them left them on the rear porch.
None of the silverware or other
articles were disturbed, and the
thieves in all probability only
wanted money. Mr.. Dwight Is alb
sent from home. Matches, which
had been lit, were found scattered
all over the floors throughout the
house, and the rear door was left
wide open.
THE NEXT CALL.
The residence of Charles McNab,
which is also I'm Brownies addition,
WAS also visited, presumably by the
same parties, as entrance to the
house was effected in the same man.
ner ~ at Mr.. Dwight's residence, ex.
cept that the rear door instead of a
window was pried open. The
thieves rummaged all over the lower
part of the house, but did not 70 up
stairs, where Frank NJ. Dallam, the
newspaper man, was sleeping.
Having no thought Of burglars, Mr..
Dallam had carelessly left his panta-

ing around such u large amount OF
money, and he will be more careful
in future, MS II was mere stroke of
good luck that he was not robbed of
the entire amount.
Mr.. McNab's first intimation that
his house had been burglarized was
received when he got up In the
morning and was unable to find his
clothes, which were finally discov-
cred I'm the back yard, whittier they
had been carried by the thieves.
The sum of S5 cents, which was In
the right hand pocket of Mr.. Nc
Nab's pants when he retired, was
missing. His watch had been taken
from the pocket of his vest, but
upon discovering that the time
piece was of the Waterbury variety
the thieves had scornfully cast II
aside.
STILL ANOTHER.
The thieves did not overlook the
residence of j. p. NJ. Richards, In
the same neighborhood, and to
which they gained access in the
same manner employed in entering
the residence of Mr.. McNab. They
ransacked the house pretty thor
oughly, but not finding any loose
change lying around departed with
out taking with them anything OF
value.
