S Several cottages were entered and valuables stolen at-Watch Hill dur- ing the summer season, and now with the cottages closed the breaks and robberies continue, but with less pro- fit to the burglars, as all articles of more than erdinary value have been removed. These breaks continue re- gardless of the vigilance ‘of the soli- tary patrolman and caréful guarding by_caretakers. Friday night entrance ‘was forced into the cottage near the golf grounds owned by C. . Johnson, of Washing- ton, D. C. The place was gone over from cellar to attic and a variety of articles stolen, but ‘their exact nature cannot be ascertained until a com- parison of what is left is checked on the inventory. It s understood that there are no speeial watchmen in the Watch Hill colony and the cottagers depend upon the police protection fur- nished by the town of Westerly. a night patrolman during the winter. The_board of managers has called Ifiev. Benjamin T. Livingstone, pastor of Columbia Street Baptist church, Bangor, Me., to be superintendent of missions for Rhode Island, to suc- ceed Rev.

Favario on the Post road. known as the Aus- tin Place, west of the home of Chas. Tuesday Austin, was completely destroyed by fire early Sunday morning.

Tt is believed the fire was caused by a defective chimney and only a few household effects on the first floor were saved. Mrs. Favario and her daughter were given shelter at the residence of Charles Austin. The loss is estimated at $4,000. The fire is well on the outskirts of West- erly proper and is without fire pro- tection. Local Laconies. Westerly Boy Scouts are planning for a hike to Lantern Hill Friday.
