unknown party or parties at $50 o'clock
this morning. Nothing was taken from

the absence OF Mr.. Hauley and his family
Mt Narragansett Pier. At the hour
nameo, officer Kirby, who patrolled the
beat on which the Hanley residence is
situated. heard the noise OF cracking
glass, and he went at onco to investigate
the cause of the noise. He found that a
screen that had been spread over a small
cellar window had been cut away, and
the way the cobwebs had been brushed
showed that someone had crawled
through the frame.
The doors OF the house were all found
to be locked, and the officer crawled
through the frame just the same as the
would-be robber had done. There was
no one In the cellar though. but there
was a lot of broken fruit jars, which had
evidently been smashed by the intruder,
who had escaped by an easier window
from the. house.
There were signs that the wouid-be
thief had made an attempt to enter the
wine cellar, but the approach OF the
officer spoilt his plans. No suspicious
person was seen about the premises pre-

by reason OF quick police work proved
one bbrren OF results.
