PAWTUXET VALLEY
No Tldings Yet Of Missing Lip
pitt Couple. ...Burg|ars Visit
the Valley Austin's
Funeral. ...NOteS

AS yet there has been nothing learned
of the whereabouts OF Edgar Rathbun and
Miss Sadie Brown, who left Lippitt SO
very mysteriously on Tuesday morning.
II will be remembered that Miss Brown
left her work at the Lppitt mill and was
only scantily attired. Mr.. Rathbun after
packing his travelling case said that he
received employment near Wood River
Junction, and he departed. The couple,
however, visited Arctic Centre before they
left the valley and here Miss Brown pur-
chased a skirt and shirt waist. Her uncle,
George Phillips, with whom she made
her home visited some of the girls rela-
tives in Boston. thinking perhaps that she
might have gone 10 that city, but was
unable TO locate her.
BURGLARS AT WORK.
The valley has become infested lately
with a most undesirable element, who are
too lazy TO work, too proud 10 beg. but
who do not hesitate TO steal. Early yes
terday morning the gang who are believed
TO be local youths made a raid on the
valley stores, and while nothing OF any
amount was taken the merchants are be-
ginning to tire of these repeated occur
rences The store OF j. A. Beaudette was
entered and about IS In money was taken.
The stores OF Arthur Kinsley and Marvin
Drake at Clyde were also broken into. but
aside from cigars and tobacco. the thives
obtained little OF value. These repeated
breaks speak loudly OF the ineficiency
OF the Warwick police. and it's high time
that means were taken TO prevent these
depredations.
