WEBSTER BURGLARY.
N. T. Huribut May Find Clue t, Break
 Through Putnam Police.

N. T. Hurlbut. Webster, fornlcr;v in business in this city was In town or Wednesday afternoon to consult witil Chief Joseph A. Ryan relative to plans for experimenting the burglars who entered his Webster store sometime during the early hours of Wednesday, morning and got away with n quani ty of suits, overcoats, shirts and otheT articles of wearing apparel. Mol 2 clothing that had been handled an-i made ready for taking away was found on counters in the store, but ths burglars evidently were frightened ise- fore they would complete thef. work.
 Using a stolen automobile. the bure = lars drove south toward the Connef;ti- cut line. abandoning the machine near Perryville.
 The work was probably done oy :he same gang that has been operating in Putnam and other Windham county towns for the past few weeks, and the fact that they headed back this way with their booty is regarded as si5- nificant.

In some of the stores in the north end of tine city it was said Wednesday morning that no restrictions were being placed on the sales of sugar. but this attitud" underwent a change when reports from downtown were heard 4ld orc proprietor advanced his price from 8 1-2 to 10 cents a pound. which was about the prevailing price through out the grocery establishments.
 The general conviction among ti:a Rrocers, however, seemed to be t:sat the sugar scare" is an unnecesssry one, and that it will be over in few days. The condition existing here at present as regarded as like- lY to be only briefly temporarY
