After several months respite. the enterprising burglar is aburgling again in Westerly, beginning Sunday night with George E. Broughton's Main street market The rear of the store opens into the driveway between the Nash news store and the building of the Washington Trust company, and entrance was effected by the back door route. This door is secured by wood en bar held in position at either end by iron strips. One of the small panes of glass in the upper part of the store was broken some time ago and piece or board was nailed over the broken pane. The burglar pushed this small piece or board from it's place. reached his arm through the aperture lifted the door bar from it's place, opened the door and walked into the store without further hindrance.
 There was just $9.65 in the cash register when the store was closed Sat urday night and the money was still there when Mir. Broughton was in the store Sunday afternoon When the store was opened Monday morning the money was gone, but nothing else was missed from the store The burglar considerably closed the back door in making his exit and even set the bar partially back in place. enough to pre- vent the door from blowing open. This was evidently for the purpose of avoid ing suspicion of the police officer who an nl6ElnS n1S IOuIlQS u1lSnt try tA0 door to ascertain if it had been care 1essly left unsecured. MT. Broughton is confident that the burglary was not committed by a person who is a stran- ger to the premises.

 Among the passengers on the trolley car that was damaged by the blasting of rocks in the Herbert lot at Wequete- quock Sunday was 8 portly man who evidently was out late the night be- fore He had fallen asleep and neither the loud reports of the three successive blasts, tfe rattlins of rocks against the side of the car and the screaming of frightened women disturbed his slum- bers. Even the smashing of the win dow near which he was seated did not interrupt his dreams. After the excite ment had subsided and the conductor was gathering in the names of the passengers for use in case of legal ao- ton, the sleepy individual was aroused by the man in uniform In his lap was a rock as big as his first that came with the blast. but of which he had no knowledge. His name was not taken
 Although a passenger on the car, he was not competent to give personal testimony of the careless blasting. His would be hearsay evidence and of no ing what had transpired, the portly passenger remarked: Well, Pm glad I was asleep, for If I had been awake would probably have been scared to death!"
