still fresh in the minds of the readers, and
five more are now added TO the list. The

the readers, but to the police department
A few days ago Mrs. George Pinkham,
who resides on High street, found man
on her attic stairs who, when questioned,
stated he was in search of his boarding
house. She stood her ground and he
quickly left. Mrs. Dean, who resides on
Illinois street, encountered the same in
dividual entering her dwelling the same
day, aud when caught about TO enter a
chamber room he made the ex-
cuse that he boarded there. Mrs.
l.. w. Thurber at 10 Summer street, de-
tected a man looking in her windows and
grass. When she and her daughter opened
the door he jumped the fence. These
ladies all give the same description of the
man. On Saturday afternoon a sneak
thief entered "A dwelling on Washington
street and stole from bedroom $3.50 !;
which was done up in a box for shipment
by express Monday to Lowell, Mass. On
Friday afternoon yonng man went TO
grocer and had a $40 bill changed. which
money is, he believed, to have been stolen
from the McGlynn family. The recent
robbery on Brown and Mulberry street at
Pawtucket, was brought TO mind when a
man answering the description of
the one seen there was about the
village Friday evening selling ladies
gold ring. The man began his operations
on Pleasant View at the news store of
Frank Ullrich where he tried to dispose
of the ring. He was unsuccessful and
then came over the bridge and went up
Central street stopping several people on
the street and Offering it for sale. The po-
lice were notified. The man sold the ring
on Broad street, and then went by the
back road again to Ullrich's liquor store,
where he bought glass of ale. He had
plenty of money and asked where the
Pleasant View station was. His descrip-
tion tallies with that of the man seen by
the ladies mentioned above.
Mrs. Riley, the mother of the little girl
who was so brutally assaulted by an un-
known man last week at her home on
Lonsdale avenue, informed the NEWS re-
porter last evening that the man whose

Kendall street that afternoon, and was
soliciting subscriptions for the Sons of St.

tify the man again.
