 Find Missing Box
 Deputy Sheriff E. w. Furrey re- ceived d telephone call from the Hartford police last evening stating that a metal box used for deposit ing Naluablcs and belonging to Charles Banner of Plainville had been found by woman in the hall way of her home and turned over to them. The box was stolen from Mir. Banner some time Tuesday aft ernoon, when a key worker entered his tenement in the Russell block in Central square. The housebreaker secured s3, three bank books, two rings and an old coin.
 Mir. Furrcy went to Hartford and secured the box. He found that various miscellaneous trinkets had been left untouched in the box but two empty ring cases had been left in the receptacle. The finding of the box convinced the local police au- thorities that the many Tobberies committed here of late have been the work of strangers who come here from other cities.
 Members of the family were away from the Banner tenement Tuesday afternoon between 1 and 5 o'clock and it is believed that the robbery was committed during that time. The robbery was not discovered, however, until late that evening, when a member of the family pull cd out some of the drawers in a bureau while looking for something. The key worker overlooked s15 in the drawer while searching through it. Constable George Schubert was notified at the time and started an investigation.
