BLOCK BURNED
And Burglars Secure About
$1,000 at Canaan, Ct.
Fire Supposed to Have Been Started
Accidentally While at Work.
Men Escape by Team-Two Suspects
Arrested But Released.

Canaan, Conn.,, March "a bust
ness block, containing the postoffice,
a jewelry store and savings bank de-
stroyed with all its contents by fire,
Il dwelling house partly burned and at
least one safe looted, is the record of a
visit of burglars to this little village,
early today. The loss by fire is esti-
mated at $4,000, while it is believed
that cash and stamps taken from the
postoffice safe by the burglars after
they had blown it open with dynamite.
will amount to $1,000. On account of
heat of the ruins it was impossible to
ascertain whether or not the safe
in the jewelry store of +. r. Collins had
been cracked. The officials of the
Canaan Savings Bank, however, Sc
cured access to their vault after the
fire and found all the contents in
tact.
1t is supposed that the burglars were
frightened away before they had COM
pleted their operations, by the fire
which they probably started accident
ally while at work in the jewclry
store. They made their escape by
team. Some time during the night they
led out all the horses from the stables
of the Warner hotel in the rear of the
postoffice block and selecting the best
one, hitched it to wagon.
The horse and wagon were later
found ia Winstcd, 20 miles away, the
burglars having probably boarded an
early train there on the Naugatuck di-
vision of the New York, New Haven &
Hartford Railroad. Two suspects were
arrested near Millerton, N. Y, but
were afterward released.
\ cry of fire was raised by a milk
man gave Canaan people their first
warning of the blaze and as the
flames were then under good head
way it was impossible with the limited
fire fighting apparatus at hand to save
the building. Some powder stored in
the rear of the iewelry store exploded
and destroyed one wall of the building,
but Fortunately none of the people who
We're then struggling with the blaze
vas injured. A neighboring dwelling
house was also burned. Both the
burned structures were owned by
Sherwood G. Cummings of South Nor
walk, and We're partly insured.
