 terday-About 15O Guests Visit Mir and Mrs. Brock-Plain,ilIc Briefs Saturday night or early Sunday | morning two more daring robberies
 were committed in Plainville. Thieves 1 broke into Byington's drug store on | West Main street and into the ero- cery store Of Eastwood and Foran in the Russell block. About SIP in pen nies was taken from the grocery store and a small amount of change l from the drug store. The robbers broke through a hatchway in Bying- tons store, broke open an inner door and then seized the ave which was in the cellar and chopped out a panel ir the door leading into the store up- stairs. The cash register contained only a small amount of pennies and these were taken. Nothing else was disturbed, according to reports.
 In the grocery store. the robbers lafttnne cessful. A cellar door was also brok- en in here and entrance into the store was made through a trap door. About SIP had been left in the cash regis ter and this was taken. Tho store itself was ransacked, goods being thrown about and every corner in the place being cleared supposedly be- cause the robbers thought that the days receipts would he secrcted some where.
 Plainville business men are this morning protesting in no uncertain words against the ease with which the breaks have been made and the robbers have gotten away, Neither of the proprietors of the places was notified at any time that their doors had been opened, although Constable A. W. Furrey is supposed 10 try the doors and report any entrances which have been made.
 One business man this morning stat cd that last Friday night. he had left his place with one side door opened. He thought that he had left it lock cd, but when thaplace was opened in the morning. the door was found slightly aiar, but the fact had not been reported to him. A number of them are planning 10 protest this condition to tho proper authorities and complain Of tho facts as they are. They stated this morning that addi- tional protection would have to be afforded them. ss the fact that three breaks were made within one week, tho first Of which was in the Rialto Soda shop, and tho robbers had gotten away clean. has stirred them such as nothing has done in a long time.
 officer Andrew Hogan. one of Plainville's most efficient patrolmpn, was called in by the proprietors of the grocery store and he investigated tho affair and again called the state po- lice into the eases. Similar clues such as were found in tho Ilialto, were found in both places yesterday and the police feel sure that they will ap- prohend the burglars before inc day is out.
