Burglars were around Friday night, and
Turner's meat market, George B. Aliens
Office, H. B. Todd & Sons Office and the |
Housatonic Brass company's factory were
broken into, but az far as can be learned
nothing of value was taken from any OF |
the places, although the money drawers
were ransacked, as the proprietors had
wisely placed their money and valuables in
safer quarters. The work was evidently
that Of amateurs and, it is believed, that of
local talent. Friday two suspicious char
tiers were seen about town who applied to
the Office of Hall, Elton & Co. for work,
and during their stay seemed to be taking
in all the surroundings of the Office, and
when they departed they went out on the
north eide of the Office and seemed to be
examining the sides of the factory. The
watchman at the Metropolitan Rubber
company's works is reported as having
noticed three suspicious acting men prowl-
ing around the factory during the night
and frightened them away by firing his
revolver. An entrance was made into
Turner's market by removing the putty
and the pane of glass was taken out and
laid on the grass without breaking it,
| Several are of the opinion that the mid
night marauders are the same that were
| recently operating in Yalesville, although
the private residences were operated upon
| at that time, which was during the week
| of the state fair.
J. S. Parker of "Quinnie" states that tho
New York parties who were looking up the
| him any offer for his mill privilege and
probably will not buy the property, IS it is
proposed to locate their silk factory, if
they decide to locate at all in "Quinnie,"
further down the river and continue the
raceway. The dam can be raised con-
siderably without flooding back to Wal
lace's privilege.
There were many hunters out in the
woods on Saturday, but no very large
strings of game were brought in. Three
of our best shooters were out and visited
and hunted over seven swamps and started
but FIVE woodcock, three of which were
bagged. The swamps are nearly ell dried
up from the lack of rain this season and
in many places where usually high
topped rubber boots were needed
to cross, now the same can be crossed with
thin shoes without danger of damp feet.
The mud is dried up and cracked. Gray
squirrels are reported as unusually plenty
this fall, although the crop of hickory
/
J abundant and owing to the foliage in the
brush. Quail are scarce and hardly full
grown, and in many cases too small tc
shoot.
