Wilder Cottage Ranaacked by Van
daIs Early in Week-5reah Made
Into Cottage of Mrs. John F. Hill.
But Thieves Evidently Were Scared
Away-Matter To Be Investigated
| Nandals have been at work a Ham
monds Grove this week, breaking in
| to two cottages and completely ran
sacking one Of them. The cottage
! belonging to DR.. Julian Wilder of this
city was badly ransacked and num-
Der of articles taken, while the thieves
were apparently scared away after
| they had entered the cottage belong
ing to Mrs. John +. Hill, which is
known as the Robinson cottage.
. The break at the Wilder cottage
was discovered by Mrs. Charles Stew
art Of Manchester who noticed two
! baskets containing linen in the snow
! in front of the cottage. She tele-
| phoned to Mrs. Wilder and was told
! to enter the cottage which she did
She found the key missing from it's
usual place which gives rise to the
suspicion that the break was made
| by someone who was familiar with
! the cottage.
An examination OF the cottage has
been made and everywhere the story
| was the same. Bureau and table
| drawers We're turned upside down and
ransaclied, closets were emptied into
| the floor and even the button box
was emptied in the middle of the
! floor. Numerous articles were taken
from the cottage.
| Angus ArbOur. care-taker of the
Hill estate, made a visit to the Hill
cottage Monday morning. He said
, that when he left the car at the STA
tlon Monday he saw two fresh ira cks
reading down to the Grove. AS thew

mad apparently left by way of the
window. which leads Mr.. Arbour TO
'hlnk that they either saw him or
were scared away by the fact of the
car stopping at the station. The
tracks led from this cottage in the
direction of the Wilder cottage and
II is thought that the men entered
that house after they lad left the Hill
