 No definite clue had been obtained last evening as to the whereabouts of James Brogden's bicycle that was stolen early Saturday evening from near the Woodbne alleys. There seems to be no doubt that the thief is the same one that figured in New Britain recently, as he was seen the same eVe- ming passing Toelle's rest on the south boulevard going toward New Haven inside of half an hour after the wheel was stolen. ....
