H. D. and G. l.. Aldrich received word
Sunday that the Aldrich cottage at Ches-
terfeld Lake had been broken into. An
investigation showed that every cottage on
the west side Of the lake had been entered
by breaking the windows and unlocking
the fastenings. The Aldrich cottage seemed
to be headquarters for two roomers who
had freely used the dishes and other ac-
commodations. Three pairs of shoes and
two pairs Of trousers were found. The
Messrs. Aldrich washed the dishes and
made things as tidy for their tenants as
possible. 1t is thought possible that the
burglars who devastated Westmoreland,
Putney, ETC., might have been the in
truders.
