Harry Brotherton, the industrious

Charles Thomas, of Stamford, was in
town on Saturday, nursing a broken
arm, the result of a. collision with a. fel-
low cyclist, in Port Chester, the Sun-
day before. An arm broken in three
places and a wheel in thirty, was the
net result for Charley. We are glad
to report that he is doing nicely, and
will soon be all right again.
There was great excitement in town
onWednesday by the arrest of a gang of
alleged chicken thieves at the oldRo’ck-
well house on the Lambert estate, by
Dept. Sheriff Lyon. The charges were
brought by Ridgefieli parties, who had
tracked them from the hen coops
where "-2 number of chickens had been
taken, directly to this place and found
the stolen property in an outhouse near
the house named. Two of the party
watched the house while another
hastened to Noi'walk for an officer who
hurried to the scene and arrested
Edward Thomas and his brother-in-law.
It is claimed that the leader of the
gang is Charles Thomas who was arrest-
ed several years ago while living in the
Richard Dunning place in North Wil-
ton, and attracted wide attention by
taking the poor debtor’s oath. The en-
tire family have lived for some little
time near Stamford, and had rented
the Rockwell place about two weeks
ago, paying two months rent in advance.
But 3. very small quantity of furniture
was moved in. and it is thought that
the house was mica merely as a. b .5:
for operations similar to (.1105: pro. :tic-
ed by the Ludldm gang seVeral years
ago. There is cause for congratulation
ithat their plans were discovered so

" A Painful Custom.
When ladies go to buy a dress in
Japan they tell the shopkeeper their
age and if they are married or not, be-
cause there are special designs for
the single and double relations of life.
as well as for ages. The consequence
of this painful custom is that you can
tell the age of every lady you meet.
and know whether she is married, pre-
cisely as though she were labelled or
, you were a census taker.
