- AUTO BURGLARS AT WESTERLY Frightened Off By Caretaker at Mariot Fathers' Vacation House—Death of Chester A. Chapman, Civil War Sol- dier Who Enlisted From Montville—Southwest Storm Holds Back Excursion Boats. Ville Marie, the retreat and recrea- tive home of the Marist prlests of the United States, s located on the Watch Hill road, near River Bend cemetery. At present it is occupied by the two housekeepers and the caretaker of the premises, Charles Devaney, who lives in a small bullding on the premises. The place was visited by burglars early Saturday morning. There was an exchange of shots by the caretaker and the burglars. Nothing was stolen from the premises perhaps for the reason that there was nothing of real value to that particular grade of thieves in the house. The two women bhad been to Westerly and left the rec- tory of Rev. Peter McOscar for Villa Marie on a late car. When they ar- rived the caretaker went to his home, but soon after the women informed him that there was someone in the house. Gun in hand, he went out and saw a man crouching in the bushes, and the contents of the little 16-calibre gun were fired at him., The fellow ran and the caretaker pursued for a short distance toward the Watch Hill road. He was unable to fire another shot, as some of the mechanism of the lit- te gun was lost in the chase. When the man reached the highway he fired three shots from a revolver in the direction of Ville Marie, but without damage. He then jumped into an au- tomobile that was waiting and De- vaney heard the machine start at high speed in the direction of Watch Hill, A telephone message sent to police headquarters in Westerly was receiv- ot just 12.16 while Sergeant West, only one at the station, was eat- ing lunch. He hurried out of the sta- | tiom and met a team just returning,to | the Bwan stable. This team was im- pressed into service, rushed into Di on square, where Policeman Mitchell got into the carriage, and the two offi- cers with the driver were hurried to Villa Marie, arriving there within fif- teen minutes after the telephone mes- eage was roceived. A thorough search of the house and premises was made and the officers discovered that entrance had been ef- fected by raising a window on the riv- erside of the house that opened into the chapel. The burglars, for the po- | lice know that there were two of them, made their escape by the same route. The whole house had begn thoroughly ransacked, bureau drawers opened and contents strewn about, but so far as could be learned, nothing was taken from the house. The rooms occupied by priests when at the home are scan- tily but comfortably furnished and | there is nothing to entioa the vi tion of burglars. It is presumed that the attractive appearance of Villa Ma- rie is what invited their attention. The pelice found the tracks of two men underneath the open window, als. in the driveway leading to the mai road ang the tracks of an automobile | that had stopped and restarted a sh distance down the road in the directi of the Pleasant View junction. The footprints were made by that had new rubber heels as t s in the rubber were plainly visibie and the other prints were gade hy shoes having high heels. This saowed the presence of two men, which connected with the automobile demonstrates that the enterprising burglars that are a- burgling hereabouts travel in an aute- | mobile, and are undoubtedly t | who visited the residence of H Dock and the two cottagers at Hill and may be the same w the Bannon and Peters weeks ago. While searchin premises the officers found the part STONINGTON.

From this list it is evident that the cost of living has not reached the high mark that it did just after the Civil war.

Mr. Stivers has presented the sealing logs to Dr. J. H. Weeks for his whaling and seal. ing collection. Road Improvements, The Stonington road commissioners have had the roadway from Mystic to Stopington scraped in several places and the rain of Sunday helped the places greatly. The commissioners have been in consultation with William Nichols, representing the rallroad, in relation to the improvement of the highway fn front of the Garity and Curtin property on Main street, with a view to moving the roadway to the eastward and up to the present side- walk. This would mean the removal of the crossing gates and planking to the eastward and would relieve the ice and water from settlilg in the winter at that ptace. The work will be start- ed In ebout two weeks. House Reaching Destination. The A, W.

Hadley returned to New s’ wosk for medieal of the gun that Mr. Devaney losi while in pursuit of the burglars, and farther verification of the shooting wus given by Willlam Higgins, night engineer at the sub power station near Mastuxet trook. He said that he heard one shot, then a pause and another “shot, and then two shots in rapid succession. A few minutes later he heard an automo- bile dashing down the Watcn Hill road at fast speed. The shots were also heard by two young men who were waiking to their home in Westerly. ‘When the police finished investica- tion at Villa Marie, Thomas Totten came along in his automobile, which was pressed into service, and the of- rs were taken to Watsh Hill and the several garages were visited, but not the slightest trace of any machine to which suspicion could Le attached could be found there. Chester A. Chapman, a carpenter by occupation, but who has not worked at his trade for years, died last week at his home on Berry Hill, lacking one month of being seventy- five years of age. He leaves a son and a daughter, Mrs, Chapman having died about a year ago. Mr. Chapman sery- ed in the civil war in Company L, First Connecticut heavy artiliery, en- listing from Montville. He was mus- tered into the service May 22, 1861, and was taken prisoner January 27, 18632, He re-enlisted as a veteran November 3, 1863, was promoted to be corporal in January and sergeant April 10, 1865, He was honorably discharged In October, 1865, He was & member of Budlong post, Grand Army of the lepublic, department of Rhode Island. Owing to the strong southwest wind and the consequent turbulent sea, with the accompanying severe rain storm of Sunday, the steamer Block Island omitted the trip to Watch Hill and Block Island. The steamer proceeded from Norwich to New London and re- mained at her berth im that harbor, leaving in time to continue regular trip from Norwich Monday morning. Steamer Westerly abandoned the pro- d excursion from Westerly to an beach for the same cause. The rain interfereq materiz with the natural Sunday trolley traffic and but compar: ew enjoyed the concert at the beach casino and the magnificent marine picture that can be viewed from that new resort. The storm of Sunday made the view even more attractive and the high surf struck the new seawall at the casino for the first time, The wall is concave and as the high waves dashed against it the combers were sent back seaward, the spray spreading for a long dis- tance, Local Laconics. e bathing hous st time were opened for for public use Saturda ere were three arrests for intox- ication Saturday at, and the trio we lined Sunday by Judge Williams in the Third district cour .

For many months a quiet canvass of the town has been taken on both sides of the tiver and many agree that the time has come when Mystic should be self-governing. The idea Is to haye the villages of Mystic, Old Mystie, West Mystic and as far east as Quiambaug and as far | west as Fort Hill, and to take in the village of Noank if it so desires. During the past week the school question has caused considerable talk. Since the question was voted down as to_whether Groton should have a high school or not, the people of Mystic have become indignant and feel that it is time that something be done. Sunday Services.
