a thief or thieves entered a residence
IN the back part Of the town near
midnight Saturday and carried away
valuable articles. No clue has as yet
been secured as to their Identity. The
first evidence was discovered when
the occupants of the house arose Sat
urday morning and found the rooms In
utter confusion; everything had been
overhauled in cupboards and closets.
Burnt matches were strewn through
out the house, paper on the shelves
had been burned evidently when the
prowler was seeking plumber. The way
of escape was shown by a window in
the parlor being partly opened, but as
this window could be opened only from
the inside it was very evident that
this window was not their means of
access to the house.
The robbers even entered rooms in
which sleepers were and took articles
that they found there. Saturday eve
ming the occupants Of the house were
out and it is their belief that the thief
must have entered the house during
their absence Waterville pawnshops
are being watched for any possible
clue.
Four sons of rest were lodged in the
cooler Sunday and at first it was
suspected that they might have some
connection in the case. They were
thoroughly searched but none of the
lost articles were found on them. Lo-
cal authorities are working en- the
case.
