Make a Haul
in Millbury.
And Other Property From
Sup't Wilmarth's House.

Millbury, Nov. 4-Burglars entered
the house of T. w. Wilrnarth, on North
Main street, last evening, and got away
with a diamond ring, pocketbook con-
tanning about SIS, a collection of old
coins, confederate money and various
other articles of value. Mr. and Mrs
Wilmarth were away at the time, and
as the tenement below is vacant, the
robbers had full run of the house. En-
trance was gained by forcing open the
front doors of the house, thus gaining
adnittance to the hallway, and then
bursting in the hall door,
Mr.. Wilmarth was formerly superin-
tendent of the Millbury cotton mills,
but resigned to accept more lucrative
position at Galveston, Texas, and had
all their goods packed ready for
shipment when the break was made.
The ring, coins and confederate money
were taken from the front room. The
ring was the property of Mrs. Will
marth. 1t was set with a diamond
and opal, and was very valuable. The
pocketbook was also Mrs. Wilmarth's,
and was also taken from the bedroom.
| During the hurry several rings and
other valuables were overlooked by the
thieves.
