DANIELSON
Burglar at w. {. LabelIe's Store, Day
vile, May Be Traced by Blood Stain
ed GIoVe-High Vote in Quinebaue-
Candidate For Warden Needed.

A burglary was reported Friday
morning from Dayville, where the drug
store Of w. E. Labeile was broken into
some, time during the early hours Of
the morning, probably after one
o'clock. Mr.. Labelle said Friday after
noon that at first general review of the
stock did not show the loss to be
hardly large enough to talk about al
though there may be goods missing
from the many lines in the store.
State Policeman Robert 7. Hurley Of
Hartford took up the trail of the
crooks during Friday One of the
clews that is said to be in his possess
sion Is a blood stained glove. This
glove evidently belonged to the crook
who must have cut himself when he
forced out the big glass panel in the
front door of the store. Indications
are that more than one person was
engaged on the job and that in all
probability it was the work of anna
tours
The first attempt to get into the
store was by way Of the back door, but
having failed to effect an entrance
there the front entrance was attacked
with better success. A big piece was
broken out Of the heavy plate glass in
the door and the rest was easy.
| Dayville has had several similar
breaks during the past three or four
years, the impression being that all
the jobs are chargeable to the same
| group Of burglars.
Quinebauy Higher Than For Years
Freshet conditions prevailed along the
course of the Qutnebaug river Friday
night and the usually placid stream
was booming along at a level and
with a violence that threatened grave
danger to property close to its banks.
Rubbish Of varied nature Uttered it
angered and swollen surface as il
swirled through Danielson and over
the Main Street dam on its southwark
course.
The heavy storm Of Tuesday and
! Wednesday put the river up to high
water mark that it seldom reaches. but
this was easily surpassed as Friday
wore on and the rain continued tc
sweep down in great quantities. Drift
wood, ice and such waste as marks q
! flooded stream kept coming all day
long and in one report was the story
of the docking here Of coop, with
some of its feathered occupants or
| the roof.
! While the river was food high an6
wild Friday night and apt, as is the
| case with this stream to be worse this
morning, the day after the storm, little
| fear was expressed that any of the
dams would go out or be badly dam
aged by the unusual torrents pouring
over them. The fear was Of property
damage as the result Of the overflow
Of the river from its usual course.
The Quinebaug is the most import
ant of the streams in this part of the
state and all along its course from tbs
a.,Iav a. =
| New London county are located many
and important textile plants, giving
employment to thousands of opera
tives. These operatives and the corpor-
atoms they work for have the mos
fear from the flood conditions, liablt
to cause losses to them all.
