1. MAUTNER'S STORE SCENE OF BURGLARY
 Thief Makes Entrance by Break ing Window With Stone
 TAKES LITTLE BOOTY
Students Hear Inauguratlon-Ar- range Entertainment -- Town Meeting Tonight -- Commerce Chamber Meeting Tomorrow.

The Mountain View grocery, own ed by l.. Mautner, was the scene of another burglary last night. The culprit, who 1t is thought was q man, received little recompense for his trouble as his haul amounted to only 95 cents, half dollar a quar- ter and two dimes. Why he left Il nickel and five pennies is a question of much speculation although 1t is | probable that he was frightened by some noise and made a hurried exit.
 According to the version of MT. Mautner the burglar broke the win- dow on the southeast side of the house by throwing a stone through it, He then reached his hand in side and released the catch. Mir | Mautner gave as his reasons for 1 thinking it was the work of a man the facts that the window is very 1 high from the ground and also that the footprints and fngerprints on | the wall and the window sill are evid- ently those of an older person, rather than boy.
 When MT. Mautner opened the store this morning he found the window open and glass strewn over the floor. He immediately notified Officer Andrew Hogan, who con- ducted an investigation and then mo- tified the state police who it is ex- | pected will also conduct an investi- gation.
 1 This is the second time that this store has been the victim of breaks. Last July, when both Mr. and Mrs. Mautner were absent from the store and their home, which adjoins the store. a burglar made an entrance into the house and made his get away with between $50 and S60.

The Lin- den street school had its radio con- cert. Through the initiative of Miss Katherine Torrant, fourth grade teacher. MT. and Mrs. Frank A. King of West Hartford generously agreed to temporarily install their radio at the school so that the stu dents could also hear the historical event of the day. Perfect results were obtained and the teachers, pu- pills and many friends who also gathered to listen in' on the in- auguration, arc very grateful to Mr. and Mrs. King for their kind ness. Accompanying MT. and Mrs. King were J. J. Torrant, brother of Miss Torrant and J. O'Connell.
