SHANTIES ENTERED.
Fishermen on Shelbmrnc BAY Losing
Tackle and Dishes.

Thieves arc evidently at work i'm the
their operations into the fishing shnlii's
that are being placed on the Ice near tn"
shores of that bay. Bert Williams and
Edward SpauldnS found Monday that
their shanty had been opened. the things
that were in it taken and an array Of
articles left. which would indicate that
the breakers had been living there.
Barton'S camp. situated on the cast shore
Of Shelburne bay, south OF DreW's BAY.
has also been entered and from all APP
pcaranCcs the thieves Used the place 20
live in for q time.
The two men who reported at the police
office Monday that their shanty had
been entered had not been near the place
for about three weeks. When they did
go down they found that FISHING tackle,
blankets, dishes and the like had been
taken. But the thieves are evidently
lovers of the Injuries o' life for they
left behind them box OF tacum powder,
along with tooth powd,r, a couple Of
Hnives and an agate pail. They also left
an envelope which was addressed TO Mrs.
James Davidson. Garfield avenue,
Barre. Vermont, calling for a return after
five days to Ncrgennes. Vermont. All OF
these articles were evidently taken from
some ether camp which they had entered.
In the Barton camp there were also signs
of the parties having lived there and all
that had been taken could not be named
