Burglars probably three in num- Der, attempted to clean out the post ofI1ce at Dayville during the early hours of Thursday morning. but got less than a dollar in pennies for their pains.
 About 120 a. m Louis G. Sayles, who occupies an apartment over the post office, heard disturbance below. When he looked out window he saw & man sidling along near the building but fearing that it might be some lo- cal person innocent of wrongdoing, he hesitated about taking drastic action.
 His doubts as to the errand of the party below was removed. however. when he heard the man, wLo had evil dently seen MT. Sayles. say to his companions: We have got to get to h. out of here pretty quick!" The other burglars were probably in the office at the time.
 Mr. Say1es opened fire with his re- volver, more to frtghten the men than to hit them, which he says he did not try to do on the first shot But when the burglars had made a run and got ten into the vicinity of the Main street railroad crossing and started to return fire he shot some more-and shot to kill.
 MT. Sayies emptied his revolver. five shots. at the men and he estimates
 
 about three fold so probably close to twenty shots were fired. MT. Sayles was not hit, but whether any of his bullets struck the burglars is a mat ter of doubt. The men got away and no trace was found of them during Thursday
 It is not even known what sort Of conveyance they had in waiting to many believe that an automobile was used, though there seems to be no spe- cial foundation for the claim
 The shooting aroused some of the people in the neighborhood of the post office and within short time the work that the burglars had done in the office was being investigated. Post master W. F. Bidwell was among the first of those aroused.
 investigation showed that the door had been forced open by inserting chiseis and exerung pressure, the glass also being broken out Drops of blood burglars had evidently been cut in the process of getting the outer door open.
 From the lobby the craclzsmen by employing the same means as they had on the other door. The fact that they were disturbed probably prevent ed their making as thorough an in they would have liked. for when his examination WAS con1platsd during the. day Postmaster Eidweu said that noth- inE but one special delivery letter ane about 75 cents in pennies was missing
 The stamps. money and other wall uables that are kept ar the office dur ing tf1e day are not left there at night. but removed elsewhere and placed iyt i 8 safe
 Three cntssis, brand new, were left l by the burglars in their hurried get away. One of tnese instruments has a blade about two inches in width. A3 fx~S. '. 3x.t width. the third a size smaller.

 MarIand to Join Worcester Team.
 William s. Marland. who as base ball pitcher has been making mess of the aspirations of opposing teams through eastern Connecticut for the past three or four seasons, IS to Joln the crackerjack Worcester team of the New England league, one of the fast est minor organizations in the United States. Jesse Burkett. the power that is in the Worcester team. has sent Marland a contract and wants hlna to sign 1t and return it at once. This MarIand says he will do. A few weeks ago Burkett sent Marland a letter ask ing about terms. which it appears are satisfactory. so the lanky, speedy youngster from Danielson is to have chance to make good in professional company.
 Marland has been big success as A pitcher since he began to show form as Killingly high school player before he graduated in 1909. He has been getting better and better ever since and last summer was marked by greater successes on his part than ever before. Mariana did not seek the Worcester contract The indications are that one of Burkett's scouts saw Marland at work either in this section or in Rhode Island, where he did some fancy twirling last summer.

Jimmie Azzanoro. Who Shot Up the Town, Believed When Given Seven Months in JalI.


 Jimmie Azzanoro, 21, boisterous gun man New Years night. cried and whined like a big kid who has been properly thrashed. after Deputy Judss James N. Tucker had sentenced him in the town court Thursday morning to serve seven months in jail and pay a fine and costs amounting to sf4.4a. Jimmie got drunk New Years night i and started to shoot up section of Mechanics street He had a 38 call ibre revolver and the reckless way in which he used it threatened death to persons in homes that he shot into, breaking out glass, perforating floors and narrowly missing hitting persons with the bullets
 One shot passed through the floor of a room and into the cellar. leaving a mark on the concrete flooring. James Moran who was visiting at the Moi fit home. came out and warned Az zanoro to desist. The latter told him to shut up or he would shoot him.
 Moran got in touch with Chief Pil- ling and the latter took Jimmie into custody, he offering to settle the mat ter with the officer for s5. Fine chancei
 who is a mill operative here, pleaded guilty to the charges of intoxication and carrying concealed wea pons. It didn't help Jimmie's case any when he lied about the way he came to have 8 revolver. He said that a friend who was going away gave It to him. Tho records in a local store show that the prisoner purchased it himself last February.
 In commenting upon the case, Judge Tucker said that he had inflicted six months sentence on the carrying con cealed weapons count because Of the fact that the prisoner had been so absolutely reckless in the use of the weapon.
 After he was sentenced Jimmie wanted to know how much it would cost him to settle and not go to jail, but he was told he had to do seven months anyway. Then he showed the yellow streak that is in him by cry ing and sobbing ike a child.
 PenaIized 12o Days.
 Anthony Lamoreaux, who became intoxicated and started trouble in At tawaugan New Years night. was sen fenced to serve 30 days for intoxica- ton and 90 days for breach of the peace. He went to jail with Jimmie but did not cry about it.
