g. B. Gary did a good piece of de-
tective work one day last week, when
he located the man who stole nice
watch from Michael McGuillicoddy
of the Stafford house. Mr.. Gary
heard of the loss soon after it oc-
Cured, and started to look for the
man. He finally found him in an
alley at the upper end of Main street.
The man denied that he had the
watch, but Mr.. Gary insisted, and he
finally produced it. In court Friday
morning the watch thief gave his
name as Thomas Weeks of Portland,
and Judge Heald gave him 80 days in
Tolland and costs. The watch was al
present to Mr.. McGuillicoddy, and
was valued on that account as we'll
as for its intrinsic worth. It was
taken from the owners vest hanging
in the wash room of the hotel.
