JEWETT CITY
Two Burglars Provide Themselves
With Spring Outfits from Abraham

Some time during Monday night two
burglars entered the New York Dry
Goods Store, on Soule street, owned by
Abraham Zegeer. They gained en-
trance through the rear door by Dor
ing the panels, reaching in and throw
ing the night latch. Evidence discov-
cred when Miss Driscoll opened the
store Tuesday morning disclosed the
fact that when the men got inside
they completely disrobed, even to
shoes, stockings and underwear. All
these old clothes were left strewn
about the floor, and complete new out
fits were appropriated, with overcoats
to match. Besides what they wore
away, a large dress suit case selected
from the stock no doubt, was filled
with the other missing articles, which
were several pairs Of trousers, SO
wool sweater, gloves, and several caps,
in all between S75 and $50 worth. No
attempt was made to tamper with the
safe. Nobody was in the building but

compensated for by the sense of com,

settlers. With few friendly bears in
the neighboring woods there was none
of that sense Of utter loneliness which
breeds insanity. By sort of tacit
equity the bee tree belonged to the first
