Amateur Thieves Try
Their Calling, In
Millbury.
ENTER LADIES WAITING ROOM.
Tamper With Money
Drawer and Then Tackled
the Ticket Rack.

Millbury, Sept. 1.-THE station of the
New York, New Haven & Hartford rail-
road was broken into last night or at an
early hour this morning. When the sta
ton was opened up this morning it was
noticed that a window in the ladies'
waiting room was raised and an exam
nation followed
The thieves gained entrance through
the open window in the waiting room.
The catch on the window was forced
with blunt instrument, probably a
chisel and then the thieves made their
way to the ticket office where they sup
posed the money was left nights, but
here they were fooled. Because of the
number of times that the burglars have
entered the place the money has been
removed from the money drawer every
night for safe keeping
Inc money drawer not yielding any
results the ticket drawer was touched
up and the casing on the sides was
broken, but as far as is known no tick
cts We're taken. The only thing that re-
manned to tell the tale of the midnight
break was the blunt chisel that was
used in gaining entrance and a bunch
of grapes lying on the floor
The break was unquestionably the
work of amateurs as the window sash
was broken and shiVered and the casing
on the ticket office was broken on the
sides and not at the lock on the bottom.
The break must have been made very
quietly, as there are houses on the north
side of the station and the occupants of
these houses did not hear any noise.
Today was the last day of the mission
fathers at st. Bridgets church and the
services in the morning and evening
were well attended. At the $50 mass, Is
young people received their first COM
munion administered by Father Quaille,

row evening the rs will be confirmed by
Bishop Beaver of Springfield, who will
be assisted by Rev. James Carroll of
Baskerville and Rev. FIR. John P. Muir
ply of Grafton. The services at the mis-
sion tonight We're well attended and
with the sermons tonight the mission
fathers Cannon and Gillispie closed up
a weeks stay in town.

who died yesterday morning at her
home in Pawtucket after a short illness,

The management of the Millbury base
ball team has nothing to kick about at
the attendance at the games of the
Blackstone Valley league played in this
town during the season. The people in
town have turned out we'll and the man.
agement is even with the board finan-
cially Local fans hope that a team will
be formed next year and that the sea-
son will begin earlier than this year
The team did not finish up very bad as
they were fourth in the league, and
would have finished better if Joseph
Sullivan had pitched the games instead
of Forsberg. The work of the Millbury
team as a whole was very good, and
some of the players stand very we'll in
their batting and fielding averages
Clifford, the star shortstop of the home
team was a wonder and stood we'll in
his batting. The only thing that the
home team needs is a good ball field
situated in a more central part of the
town. An attempt will be made before
another season opens to get new
grounds, and it is understood that the
Henry brothers will fix up diamond
at the old race track near the hotel if
the ball managers can lease the grounds
