The biggest haul made by burglars in
South Norwalk in some years was the
robbing of Bennett & Huatsd's‘ market
onNorthllainstraet,iset night,olover
, two in cash.

Thereia asInall, old-fashioned sale in
the market, but the tint did not keep a
great amount'oi money in it, fearing
that sank one would get into the market
some night and blow open the safe. Con-
sequently math- ol their money was put

oclock.

When Dana Bimell, the deliv

clerk, opened the market at daybrea
this he found the ice
open: there was meet on
the cuttin block. various draw-
ers about t market were pulled out
and the two checks were on top of the
desk. Further investigation revealed the
loot that the back door was open about
four inches. When Mr. Bennett reached
the market he discovered that the roll of
bills and nearly $2 in pennies, beards-a
the odd change in the money drawer,
amounting in all to .102, had been
stolen.
The burglars eflected an entrance to
the market by climbing over aaia- loot

and then crawling in thro hthe lan-
light over the back door, whic isalways
left partly open.

A small quantity of meat was also
missing from the Ice box, and it was
evident that the burglars had been very
cool about the matter and had taken
their time in get what they wanted.

People who thought that trade was

conclusion that. compared with this. it

the few retail buyers who are in the city
are placing small orders.

There is not an entire dearth 0! orders
