 Thieves, operating in an automobile stole $1,0OO worth of goods from { freight car on siding in Thompson. vile Friday night. The stolen goods ! consisted of six bales of cloth owned by the Somersville Manufacturing Co.
 and were being shipped to their GUS toners in Philadelphia and Chicago All freight usually at this station is
 loaded during the day and started oI it's way at night, but for some un l known reason this freight car was no l taken away by the local freight trai1 but left on the siding all night. It i: | thought that the thieves knew of the presence of the cloth in the car before | they made the raid. One bale was found a long distance from the raj
 road yards, where it evidently dropped
 from the machine.

 Co. in order that the citizens of thi
 section would be able to get frst-han
 Information regarding. the railwa,
 situation. Harrison B. Freeman, re fceiver for the road, made an appeal t
 the citizens for liberal patronage ol
 the Somers and Enfield division of tn
 road He said that the Somers divis
 ion is being run at a loss, but tn
 officials are not inclined to discontinu
 the service. He said that operatin expenses of this division were 31 cent
 a mile while the revenue did no
 amount to more than 27 cents. Tn
 only possible remedy, he said, was a
 increase in the patronage and the ir
 auguration of a trolley freight SCI
 vice, and that plans are in the work
 for a connecting branch with tn
 tracks of the New Haven" road g
 Scitico, so that freight for the tobacc
 growers could be transported over tn
 Somers and Enfield tracks.
