Rumors Of othsr Robbsriss.
It is believed the Same gang OK
thieves who operated here two years
ago are again at work. The secrecy
maintained for n time regarding the
two known losses have led also to re.
ports of several robberies. tho tho re-
ports are vague and unconfrmed.

New York. lost pearl necklace, SAID
to be worth $1,000. while visiting at the
summer home here OF Douglas Pearce.
Jr. OF Providence. The loss was NOS
