a mIDNIeHr FIRE ALARM.
Fire In a Rubbish Heap.

A FlR Il HIN |
Fire In rubbish Heap.
An alarm from box 20 at about mid
night called the fire department out into
the cold world to smoking heap of rub
bish in the rear of Lee s Hoyt's. The fire
was quickly extinguished. No damage. |
The fremen glad to gst back to their |
warm houses, the thermometer being well |
down toward zero.
Burglars and an Exposed window.
The burglars who broke into the bank
at Naugatuck day or two since displayed
considerable cleverness In secreting their
actions from passers-by. The bank has
but one window which opens on the street
and from which view of the vault of
the bank can be obtained. The burglars
realized that 1t would not do to put Q
shade in front of the window, and in order
to accomplish their nefarious business
they threw a bucket of water against the
window, which soon frosted and in short
time the glass was Opaque and the work
could be done without the slightest fear of
detection from the street. The police are
working on several clues but up to an
early hour this morning no arrests had
been made.
