 Monday night the officer received in- formation that a suspicious character perhaps Peeping Tom, was hiding in the bushes off Chace street. He inn mediateIy made an investigation and found a small shack hidden from view by bushes and trees. In this shack the officer found a man, a stranger in these parts, who says he is a fish, erman and clam digger, and has made his home in the shack all summer. Patrolman Keegan questioned him closely but did not receive information sufficient to even arrest his as sus- picious character or he had not evil dence sufficient to present him for prosecution. The fellow was warn ed away and impressed that if he did not make prompt compliance with the warning, he would be arrested and prosecuted Several residents of Paw catuck have volunteered to aid the of ficer in putting an end to this disturb ing element in the village.

 The recent sale of building lot at Pleasant View by Richard J. Rooney to Louise M. Pendleton and Della A. Wheeler of North Stonington gives an idea of the increase in valuation of beach lots at that growing shore re- sort. MT. Rooney was among the pioneers who bought lots at Pleasant View in 1894, buying but one lot with flve-cent pieces he had saved, and appropriately naming 1t the Nickel lot. He paid $50 for the lot and sold 1t for $700. This shows an increase in valu- ation for the period of IS years of 1,40Teper cent, or IT 3-4 per cent. d year, an average of $38.S8 a year. A better investment than Standard Oil stock.
