BURGLAR ENTERS
PUBLIC LIBRARY
Secured Between So and Sc in Change
Forces L0cIsS on Desk Drawers
No Damage Done to Books.

Another addition to the list of bur-
glaries and petty thefts which have been
committed in this town recently, was dis
covered this morning when it was found
that sometime after Saturday night some
one had entered the BrattlebOrO Free Ii
brary and had ransacked all the drawers
which might contain money. The bur
glars haul was not very large. amounting
to between 81 and SO in change.
Entrance was obtained by breaking the
catch of one of the front windows in the
basement, the burglar going thence to the
floor above. All the locks on the desk
drawers were forced. and the damage
done probably viii exceed the amount of
money taken No damage was done to
the books. In one of the drawers which
was forced open one-dollar bill which
lay in full sight was passed over. This
neglect was unfortunate for the burglar.
as this would have materially swelled his
pin money for this week. The library had
been broken into twice before. so no large
amount of money ever is left there.
The break was discovered this morning
when Miss Esther Crowell. assistant to
Miss Florence l.. Pratt, librarian. opened
the library. Miss CrowelI notified Miss
Pratt. who reported the break to Chief-of-
Police George Wilson, who, with Police
man w. f. Tyler. went to the library and
made an investigation.
