 At the result of two mysterious incidents which have occurred dur ing the past few days at the cost of considerable trouble to the police, the local consta bulary force has de- clared war on night providers and is determined to keep the town free Of law breaking elements.
 This morning at 2:G0 o'clock, while making his rounds in the cen ter of the town, Constable George Schubert saw man prowling in the rear of the Plainville Cash market on Whiting street. He accosted the man but received no response. Not being sure who the man was Con- stable Schubert was loath to draw his gun and, as a result. the man succeeded in making his getaway. Constable Schubert hailed a car and made a complete search of the southern and eastern portions of the town but was unable to locate the man.
 He found nothing disturbed in the any attempt 10 break in had been made. The officer was in doubt as to whether the man had been visit ing in the block and was leaving through the back door so as not to attract attention or intended to break into the market, The officer described the man as being fairly heavily built, weighing about 16O pounds, and wearing a brown suit and brown fedora hat. He ap- reared 10 be between 25 and 30 years of age.
 Constable Schubert stated that he did not like 10 draw his gun on the man but hereafter he would keep a strict watch for night providers and would take drastic action if they failed to answer him when he hailed | them. He asks that any local resi- dents who are visiting late at night leave by the front door and not by the rear entrance, thereby look ing suspicious.
 Earlier in the week an attempt was made by two men to break into a house in the residential part of the town. While the family was dining | downstairs the men placed a ladder i against the side of the house and entered an upstairs bedroom win dow. A maid heard the providers and scared them away
 Investigation by Constable Schu- i bert proved that they were two men 1 wanted by the Waterbury police for | burglares. AS a result of these two | incidents, residents Of the town are 1 warned by the police to exercise more care and to be suspicious of all 1 mysterious men about town. When i police officers hail strangers and fail 10 receive an answer, they are put 1 in an uncomfortab ble position. Consta- bIe Schubert gave the man last eve ming the benefit Of the doubt but hereafter strangers failing to answer halls by constables will be regarded as law breakers who are avoiding police and will be treated according ly.
