 of Daniel Brown.

The home of Daniel Brown on the corner of Plainfield street and Dow road was broken into between 1 o'clock and 4.15 Friday afternoon and num- Der of valuable articles taken. Mir. and Mrs. Brown left home at 1 o'clock and returned at 4.15. Mrs. Brown on enter ing one of the rooms discovered that someone had rummaged the drawers of the bureau and a trunk. The thief made his entrance through a bedroom window and in some manner quieted a large bulldog which was left in the house. He searched through all the rooms and broke open a trunk He succeeded in finding three gold watches and one case, an expensive fob chain and silver fob chain similar to a Christian Endeavor pin, also several pairs of gold trimmed spectac1es. Mrs. Frank Congdon, who lives on Dow road, only a short distance from the Brown house, saw a man walking around in the yard, but thought noth- ing of it, as MT. Brown has numerous business callers. Roy Hopkins, who lives directly opposite the Brown house, saw a man apparently 25 come from the Brown yard, but thought that he had gone to see MT. Brown. Hopkins told the man that no one was at home at Browns The man never answered him, but went through the fields tow ard the railroad tracks.
 MT. Brown, upon discovering the loss. which is valued at nearly $50, notified the authorities, who went to work on the case.

 tage and pulled the car out.
