One of the most daring robbcrirs
 ever occurring in this town occurred
 Saturday afternoon when the homo of
 Mir. and Mrs. Charles Arnold of East
 street was entered and jeweIry and
 money stolen. Absolutely no trace of
 the robber has been found and the
 only clue the police have to work on
 is that furnished by the motorman on
 a New Britain bound trolley who saw
 a man entering the house bv way of a
 window. He thought nothine of inc
 incident at the time as he supposed it
 was the owner thus entering, having
 forgotten his key. As soon as the
 decd was learned of it was reported to
 the local police and Constablc Marine made immediate inquiries Nothing
 had been learned up to noon today as to the identity of the man.
 Tie robbery is all the more serious Tn the eyes of the public inasmuch as It was committed in broad daylight eho at an hour when people are ire Q'ehtlN passing the house. The Ar
 .'old 1ar~'y lives in the Woodford nonestead located at the corner of
 East and Woodford streets. The tro1icEs pass the house every , min u1cS and the road is busy with traffic on Saturday afternoon In the opin- ion of those robbed the work vas that Of some one very familiar with the home, who had watched the move ments of the family.
 Mrs. ArnOld's sister. Miss Anna Brink of Norwich, camc here Saturday morning to visit. Tn the afternoon the women decided to go to New Britain l to do some shopping for Easter Miss 1 haI ro1I tn1, 1 was deciding to wear it to New Brit ain when she thought otherwise and left it in the house. The watch is among the articles missing. The rob ] Der took three solid gold watches, a solid gold chain, several gold rings land quantity of money. The am ount 1 of tho loss may be we'll over $50. A heavy gold ring belonging to Mir. Ar mold and which was prized by him 1 stood by a quantity of money. The robber was most thoughtful and very nicely took the money around the ring | and left the latter. The break is 1 thought to have been made through 1 the window in the kitchen and all within the short space of an hour. The Woodruff family lives downstairs but o'1t all the afternoon.
 Auto Smashes Carriage.
 The local authorities are today looking for the driver of Buick touring car which crashed into a car riase coming toward this town last evening, completely Wrecking the carriage and not stopping to see the result of the accident. White Oak cros- sing is well know to autOists as a danger spot and many accidents have occurred there some of which have re- suited most seriously. The general cause of such accidents is attributed to excessive speed in crossing the tracks and unreduced speed in mak- ing the curve at the same spot. Such was the cause last night, according to the story of those hurt. The accid dent occurred about o'clock and it was some time later that medical help was sent to the people in the carriage. The local people involved in the ac- cident were Joseph Silverio and Fred Holli both of whom were in the carriage and on their way 10 their homes in this town. With them in the carriage were a woman and sey- eral children all of whom are un- known The car hit the carria ge sQuarely, demolishing it, throwing the
