THE WRENTHAM ROBBERY.
Chief Watts Of The Boston Police Believes That
Job Was Pul lp in This Cib.

Since last Saturday morning the most
expert detectives of the Massachusetts
state police. together With detectives
from nearly every important city in
New England. have been at work i'm an
endeavor to secure some definite clue
to the safe blowers who did such
clean job at the Wrentham National
bank. getting away with about $4,000
in cash and notes. The detectives have
arrived at the decision that the rob-
bers drove to and left Nrentham VIII
lage by a covered vehicle drawn by one
horse. This outfit was hitched in the
first roadway to the south of the viii
lage, and there indications were found,
before the snow fell, which showed that
the horse stood there a few hours at
least.
Chief Watts of the Boston detective
force is OF the opinion that the job was
put up in this city or near by. He
considers the nearness of this city TO
Wrentham an important pCint. and also
lays stress on the fact that within two
months four or five long term men have
been liberated from state prison IN
Rhode Island. He also says crooks do
NOT go wandering about Massachusetts,
with burglars tools as they used TO.
A man found with such implements in
that state can rest assured that he viii
be sent up" for six years at least.
That there were at least three men in
the Job, and possibly four. the police
feel assured of. and IL has been learned
that. in addition TO the booty already
enumerated the safe breakers took a
number of railroad bonds valued at
$1,000 each.
Since Monday evening, Massachusetts
detectives have been in and about Paw
tuCket looking for some man who let
n horse and carriage TO three or four
strangers. Detective Parker has also
been very much on the alert. and has
had a number of consultations with
Chief Watts over the long distance teie-
phone In the meantime Detective
Parker is not talking about the case.

Fenton had talked further with him
about the deal policemen were called i'm
and took the man. who gave his nama

CONTRACT ENDORSED.
watchemoket Fire District Decides TO Enter Into
New Contract With PaWtucket.

A special meeting was held by the
Watchemoket fire district last evening,
i'm order to ascertain If the district
would authorize the administrative
board to make a contract with the city
of Pawtucket for water supply. There
was very large attendance. and the
meeting was called TO order by Moder-
ator Cunningham. who stated that the
administrative board had held several
conferences with the water supply
committee OF the city council OF Paw
tucket and the result of the meeting
was the formation Of a contract, which
was submitted to the meeting.
After a somewhat lengthy discussion
regarding the validity of the contract,
and whether 1t could be annulled by
the Supreme court. the board was given
power to make the new contract and
the following resolution was adopted:
That the administrative board of the
Watchemoket fire district be and here
by is authorized and empowered upon
the execution of new contract Tor
water with the city OF Pawtucket to
make all rules and regulations FOR thu
use of the water. fix rates To be pad
for water. determine and authorize the
management o such additional salaries
for services. and do all and singular
such acts and things as may be neces-
sAry to be done 10 carry into effect the
provisions of said contract and care for
the interests of the fire district until
the next annual meeting.
After some more controversy II was
voted TO execute the new contraht at
once, inasmuch as the decision OF the
Supreme court had virtually destroyed
the old contract.

FOR $4,000 DAMAGES.
Mr.. Dibb|e Suing Mr.. Smith For Ma
Iicious Prosecution.
Action is Based Upon Suit Brought by Smith
10 Recover Money Loaned.

There have been number OF differ
ences between the Dibbles ana Smiths
OF Pawtucket due somewhat TO Inter-
marriage. Sometime ago Arthur r..
Smith sued Peter Dibble twice. One
suit was to recover $4,000 for alleged
Islander and the other to recover $25
for money alleged 10 have been loaned.
Both these suits were dismissed and
today "A jury i'm Judge Wilbur's court
was called upon To decide whether in
suing Mr.. Dibble TO recover for the al
legged loan Mr.. Smith was guilty of
malicious prosecution and whether Mr..
Dibble on that account was entitled TO
$1,000 or a reasonable part of that sum.
Mr.. Dibble claimed at the time the $25
was alleged To have been borrowed he
had money i'm the bank and produced
a bank book to prove his statement. He
also asserted that the suit put him to
great expense and annoyance. Mr..
Smith reiterated the statement made I'm
the writ issued i'm the other case that
Dibble did borrow the $25 and that
there was no malice in the action what
soever.
