WESTERLY BURGLARS HELD Thomas Allen and John Murphy in Jail in Default of $1 OOO Bonds Each-Exta High Tides at the Beaches-Kernes- Wright Marriage.

The strong northeast wind that prevailed during Christmas night, and which, at times, reached the hurricane standard, with heavy rain accompan- ment. resulted in a rising of the wa ters along the coast and inland tribu- taries and in this section one of the very highest of tides was recorded. While the Pawcatuck river did not overflow its banks all along its nav igable course, there were places where the waters flowed in for greater dis .ance than eyer before within the mem ory of living men, The wharves along the river front were overf1owed and the tide arose almost to the level of the Broad street dam, but did no se- rious damage. Along the river bank where boats are hauled ashore for winter quarters the water was so high that several of these floats f1oated, but were secured before they drifted with the tide.
 At the Thompson Corners section where a large number of boats are stored all were removed for more or less distance from their temporary quarters, but secured before damage resulted The water was even with the floor of the Otis Chapman boat house, which was supposed to be lo- cated so far above the ordinary nigh water mark that it would never be reached by an even extraordinary high tide.
 There was so high d tide at Watch Fill thai the Plympton dock was sub merged and new record was made for high surf The Rhode Island coast was attacked by the high and turbu- lent sea and much damage was done along the coast line, and to cottage property at Pleasant View.

THE THIEF
A Good Play Strong Emotional
Role Opera House Mon
day

Watertown Public Opinion. Bern
STEMS problem play, "The Thief -
presented at the Metropolitan, with
Miss Janet Allyn in the title role,
proved a highly entertaining attraction
to a fair sized house. The plot of the
play affords some intensely dramatic
situations, calling for high lass emo
tional work. Miss Allyn acquits her
self with much credit and class in this
bill.
AS is usual in a strong production
of this character, only a small cast is
needed. Few characters are intro
duced but those few are called upon
to do very difficult work. The story
is simple yet powerful. In a nutshell,
it presents q woman who through love
for husband, and the belief that her
ability to retain that love n~ecessitated
her dressing beyond her means, stole
from his most intimate friend. The
discovery of the theft by the husband
and the denoument offer the dramatic
climax in the second act, while the
confession in the third act paves the
way for reconciliation and a satisfying
close.
Miss Allyn in depicting these scenes
shows much power. She holds the
audience intent upon the unfolding Of

so that a man or Il deer could get
good footing. A big buck deer came
out of the woods ON the further shore
of the island, from where We were
and started across the ice to the other
side of the river.
THE Indians saw the deer when he
left the woods and set up a great yell,
ing to confuse the deer. Then they
started after him. One Indian rar
down along the shore while the other
took after the deer. Well, sir, it wal
comical to see that buck 60. The
ice was 90 slippery and his hoofs sc
smooth that he didn't get any grip on
the ice at all. and he couldn't jump
further n a rabbit. His feet few

deer. He ran up on one side and tried
to steer the buck in toward the shore,
