FOUND RING AND MYSTERY.
Barre Woman Thinks Burglars Dropped
it Breaking Into Her House.

A woman residing on street in the
northern part Of the city has a mystery
on her hands and incidentally a gold
ring. The ring she found in her front
hall this morning. and the mystery Is
as to how the ring came there as it
belongs to none of her household. She
is inclined to the belief that her house
was broken into during the night aai
that the intruder dropped the ring while
he was fumbling around trying to get
further into the house. His progress
was stopped in the front hall, as the
doors leading from the hall were locked.
There Is nothing about the bit Of gold
to indicate its owner.
If the owner can prove his property
and give satisfactory explanation AZ
ia its being in her house he probably
win be accommodated with its return
