son Walters house on Cottage street, Mr..
Browns house in Willard and others at

Sneak thieves entered the Catholic
church in this city some time during

there was there. The box is used to re-
ce ived contributions for candles to be
lighted in front of the altar. There was
about S 5 in the box at the time. Suspio-
ious characters have been seen lettering
about the church after dark late. Officer

were hanging around the front steps last
week. If there are any more loiterers
found around there they will be dealt
with according to law.
The East End has not escaped from
sneak thieves. $l05 was sto len from the
residence of Peter Graham Friday after
noon. Mrs. Graham had gone to the is
lands and the rest of the family were at
work. Mrs Graham, Jr., who lives in
he other side of the house was out visit
ing. When Mr.. Graham went to work
he left the back door unlocked. When
they returned they found the house had
been ransacked, Miss Eta had left So 80
on a shelf and it was gone. The pockets
of Mr.. Graham, Jr.'s pants, which had
been laying on a chair were turned inside
out and $50 mis- sing.
Mrs. Foss who lives across the street,
had seen a peddlar enter the house during
the afternoon but did not see him when
he went out, but she thought nothing OF
1t as she supposed the family were at
home.
The water was drawn off from the river
Sunday to enable the crews of work men
to do some necessary repairs at the differ
ent dams belonging to the S. d. Warren
Co.
