RAID THE STERLING
Police Take Merry Makers by Surprise and Secure
 Evidence.
WARRANT MAY COME TO- DAY
No Arrests Made Because None of Guests Was Found in Hotel
 Barroom.

Descending unexpectedly Sergeant Watrous accompanied by Patrolmen Hayes, Coonan and Landy of the cen tral station ralded the Sterling house at GA Chapel street last night and se- cured evidence of violation of the Sun day liquor law on which a warrant from Prosecuting Officer Niles Is ex- pected today for the arrest of James Byron, proprietor The visit was made about 1030 last night and came com- pletely without warning. When the of ficers entered the place they state ev- erything was going on at full blast in the place. While no one was found in the bar room thero were guests found in each of two private drinking rooms, one containing four men and the other q party of two women and man. All were drinking, according to the police who made the raid Inasmuch as these seven patrons of the place were not caught In bar room they were not lia- ble 10 arrest under the law therefore there were no arrests made last night.
 The police did take all the llulors they could lay hands on however. as evidence for the case they expect to bring against Byron This evidence consists of four dozen bottles of beer, two quarts of whisky and a quart of wine and another of gin. There were several empty bottles and other liquor holders in the place but these were not touched
 This Is not by any means the first time the sterling house has been vls- lted by the police and tho proprietor has a generous police record already. His first conviction dates from October 2i, 1898 when he was mulcted s5 and costs for breach of the peace He has charges also of keeping gaming house, keeping disorderly house and of gaming against him. Ills last arrest was on February [, 1906 when hc was fined s2F and costs for keeping disor- derly house.

TWISTED WANTS RAIN
Water situation Becoming Acute
 Factories Affected.

Winsted Nov S--The water situation tn the northwestern part of the state has become acute and if winter sets In before there have been abundant rains much suffering may result. New Hart ford Is without a supply of water in case of fire and Crystal Lake the source of Winsted's supply, will at the rate it is now falling, be below the sup ply pipe in another week
 Throughout Bitchield county the farmers are hard pressed for supply of water, streams and wells being eith- CT dry or very low In many cases the farmers are compelled to carry water in barrels four or five miles for their stock
 Scores of factories which are usually run by water power are now using steam and those dependent entirely upon water are running only d short time each day

Then the burg lars bound Mir Tayntor hand and foot ld escaped with their booty
 The burglary was the most daring in .onths and Mir Taynton is convinced That the robbers had spent many days tanning 1t. Mir. Tayntor, who has q lumber of rich granite quarries in New England, is known as a crack shot, be- lilg a member of the New York State fife association and having been a \ ontestant, 1t is said, in the recent lymplc pistol tournament at Bisley, England, It Is believed that the urglars knew this and took no chance th him.
 The three men gained entrance to the 1use by breaking q window on the ,round floor.
 The burglar who was ransacklng the bom found jewel case with two we'd ng rings in it on bureau and was About to take them when Mir. Tayntor lked him not to. The burglar ienlied hat he would take everything of value Il, could find. Then one of the burglars Handing guard over the family, Hoke up.
