LUNCH ROOM ON MAIN
STREET ENTERED
Burglars Visited the Scovell
Restaurant.
STOLE FROM THE CASH DRAWER
Break Occurred Early Wednesday
Morning, Entrance Being Gained
Through Basement Window = At.
tempt to Enter Mancini's Shoe Shop.

Burglars entered the lunch room OF Don
ii. Scovell, 20 Main street, Wednesday
morning, emptied the cash drawer of its
contents, carried away two boxes OF cigars
and escaped. The burglars entered
through a cellar window leading from
Main street TO the basement OF the lunch
room. On the window glass finger marks
were plainly visible. There was no lock
on the window, which swung in on set
OF hinges fastened to the upper side of the
sash The burglars found their way to
the floor above through a trap door back
of the counter. a screw driver belonging
to Mr.. Scovell was used in prying open
the cash drawer. This was done after one
cleat holding the drawer in place had
been removed. Between seven and eight
dollars was taken. An attempt was made
to enter the shoe store OF l.. Mancini, but
it is thought that the dog kept in the
store frightened the intruders away. The
door leading from the basement of the
lunch room to that OF the shoe store was
found unlocked. Mr. Scovell believes the
robbery to be the work of boys about
town. He says that it is evident that pro.
fessional cracksmen would not enter
place where no greater booty could be |
found. Mr.. Scovell locked the lunch room !
at midnight Tuesday night and opened it |
again at o'clock. He found the trap |
door raised and thought at once that |
was wrong and began an inves-
tigation. Bailiff II. r. Brown was notified |
If the break.

spring and moved to one of Wilson
Browns houses ON the West Dummerstor
road, to assist Mr.. Brown in carrying on
40-acre farm.
On January %, 1864, Mr. Eames mar
ried Ella Dunklee of Halifax who sur.
wives. Eight children We're born to them
of whom two, Otis Charles and Adeha
May, are dead. The children living are
William Prescott Eames, merchant in
Newfane, Eva Rebecca Walker, wife of
James Walker, an express messenger, of
Boston, Cora Amerette Harris, wife of
George w. Harris of Brattleboro, Belle
Marion Brown, wife of Wilson l. Brown
of Brattleboro, Scott Perley Eames, jani-
tor of the high school building, and Miss
Clara Elizabeth Eames, who lives at home.
Mr.. Eames's father died November IL,
1861 and his mother died July "a, 1878.
Mr.. Eames was past master of Protect
i've Grange. He served as master in 1897
and 1898 and always was actively inter-
many years he had been member of
Unity lodge of Masons of Jacksonville and
the Universalist church in Guilford. He
was member of Bingham chapter, Order
of the Eastern Star, of Brattleboro. Mr.
Eames came naturally by his inclination
to build roads, his father having been a
prominent road builder in Brattleboro and
other towns. He had definite ideas as to
how the highways should be cared for and
he worked hard to carry his ideas into
effect. 1t is inevitable that in a town
the size of Brattleboro there should be
difference of opinion on the subject of
road work, but Mr.. Eames took criticism
as a matter of course, and none will say
that his efforts were not characterized |
with an honesty of purpose. He always
felt that those who criticised his work |
were ignorant of the conditions under
which he labored, and the fact that he
was continuously reelected to office was
IN expression of approval on the part of
The majority of the voters.
Through the various activities of his
ife Mr.. Eames formed an extensive ac-
luaintance with people, who were i'm
pressed with his congenial manner and his
inform temperament. He was a man of
his word and his business dealings bore
he stamp of honesty and integrity. He
vas deeply attached to his family circle,
md he made friends in every relation of
ife. Rev. Delmar E. Trout, pastor of the
Jniversalist church, will officiate at the
uneral, which will be held at the house
It l o'clock today. The burial will take
,lace in West Brattleboro, and it is ex-
'ected that members of the Masonic
edges in Jacksonville and Brattleboro will
participate in the committal service.
