Mead's_store at Bolton last Tuesday evening will undoubtedly be cleared up this (Monday) afternoon before Jus- tice of the Peace James D. Bailey at Bolton as the result of the arrest of four young fellows who e believed to_have turned the trick, Last Tuesday evening about nine o’clock, as Mr. Mead was about to close up the store for the night, and had the money, about $18,- laid on the counter, the door was given a hard shake and a fellow requested admis- sion on the plea of desiring to pur- chase a penny’s worth. The proprietor obligingly got what the fellow wanted and while his back was turned it is believed that one of the confederates sneaked in, took the money from the counter and skipped. Mr. Mead did not miss the money unti] a few mo- ments later. He is deaf. State Police- men Jackson and Downing of this c arrested four fellows, who live in Man chester and had jumped a freight and come down to Bolton and gone fish- ing. They have admitted that they had planned to rob the store and had gone fishing to await the coming of night and a better season for carrying out ‘their scheme. The young men are George Herbert Andrews, 18, ~ colored: _ Marshall Thompson, 17, colored; William Scott, 18, white and Howard Hastings 17, white. The officers made the arrests at Manchester Saturday afternoon. SCORE WAS 6 TO 1. Norwich Defeated Saturday Afternoon on Windham Field. In the Norwich-Willimantic game Saturday on Windham field Norwich was handed a trimming by Mayor Dunn’s Colts. At first it looked as though there would not be any game, as a terrific thunder storm commenced about 3.45, and the game was not started until 5 o'clock. and before the contest could be called portions of the field literally had to be baled out, the water stand- ing in deep pools in many spots. Be- cause of the extramely wet weather conditions the crowd was not a large one. Mantey was in the box for the home nine and pitched an excellent game and was accorded gilt-edgsed support. At the close of the second inning Smith took up the burden for Norwich and heaved them across like peas, fan- ning nine men in five innings and al- lowing not even a semblance of a hit, and his support was somewhat off col- or. The Willimantic bunch played to- gether better than for some time and flelded well for so bad a day, but they were not there with hits, when same would have helped them mater- ially, as Smith had everybody’'s goat. He certainly looks best pitcher in the league and has speed and other trings to spare. The game was called on acceunt of darkness at the end of the seventh inning. The score: Willimantic. orwich.

JOURNEYMEN PLUMBERS Return to Work This Morning After Two Weeks’ Strike. ‘The journeymen plumbers, who have been out on strike for the past fort- night, are to go back to work this morning. A compromise has been made satisfactory, it is sald, to all, al- though it is rumored that the raise in wages demanded will not become ef- fective until fall.
