Writes and | | Quartermaster Charles Bela.r Home From Battleship. Chief Quartermaster Charles Belair of the battleship Connecticut, at Gal- veston under date of April 26, wrote an interesting letter to his sister here, the letter arriving Thursday. At the date of writing the Conmecticut was in from Tampico with many refugees from that port. These refugees, nearly all Americans, told members of the Connecticut of the unspeakable indignities to which they had been subjected in Mexico and the tales evidently stirred the blood of the battleship's crew, for, as Quarter- master Belair sets in down, “all are ar take a crack at a Mexican! Quartermaster Belair relates in his letter that six months’ supply of pro- visions were to be taken on at Gal- veston by the Connecticut. He was anxious that this work be quickly ac- complished, that the regiment of sol- dfers which the Connecticut was to tack back be quickly shipped and the big fighting machine faced back to- ward Mexico, “for 1 want to see the excitement,” he writes. “Last Friday,” he continues, “we expected to go ashore and take Tam- pice, but a change of orders arrived from Washington.” The letter indi- cates that the Connecticut’s -crew was fastening. Fhe burglars used some effort to conceal the fact that they had visited the Bradley estate, for they closed the blinds on the houses they had entered, aill unoccupied at this time of year, with the expectation, evi- dently, that th& breaks would not be discovered for some time. ‘When workmen went on duty Thurs- day morning they found footprints in flower beds ‘that they h: raked smooth before stopping work Wednes- day. The footprints aroused the sus- piclon of the laborers and they start- ed an investigation that led to the discovery of the visitation of the bur- glars, A. L, Rhodes, In charge of the Brad- ley estate, found the contents of rooms in the mansion strewn over the floors and the interior in a state of great cenfusien. It was impessible for him to tell after making an investigation, hewever, how much of value had been taken, Ng ome ean tell this accurate- Iy exeepting Mrs, Bradley, whe was notified at Washingten, D. C., of the occurrence at her Pomfret heme and who will come there at onee, It was stated Thursday that no jew- els, silverware, valuable paintings or other sueh property had been stolen, these things had been remeved from e mansion when it was clesed for he winter. The appéarance that the interior of the house presented indicated that the burglars were after valuables, for they had pried open bureau drawers, doers that were locked, in fact had removed amny barriers that stood in their way of making a thoreugh search. Contents of bureaus, clesets, etc., were strewn abeut in heaps. This was also true at the cottages, The robbery was reported to the state police and they have taken up the case for investigation. The Brad- ley mansion ‘seems to be a special object of attraction for burglars. Four or five years ago it- was visited time and again during one winter and many articleg- of value taken. This series of raids was finally broken up when the .barglars were caught-and much XA e W &L T T 1 L "SHEA & BURKEé';!ORWlOH C. 0.

POMFRET MANSION ENTERED. Burglars Ransack Mrs. George D. Bradley’s House and Two Cottages. Burglars visited the Mrs. George L. Bradley mansion at Pomfret during Wednesday night and ransacked the beautiful home from cellar to garret, it .was discovered Thursday morning by men who are employed about the zrounds. Other dwellings on the place known as_the farm cottage and the Howard cottage were also visited by the burglars and looked over in as thorough and vandalistic a manner as was the mansion. In every case entrance was gained by using a jimmy to force a window Because of its purity and “It doesn’t seem a bit greasy,” is the universal verdict about the pleasant-to-use Cottolene ing value high Cottolene makes foods tender and delicious.
