The sale was taken ‘

J. Dixon. of Philadelphia, the' recent~

resenting the American Sending Corn
paw. 01 Philadelphia. A‘- small strong
box. containing papers of MacCoc-I‘
mac’s was brought along for the same
treatment.
The party left Liberty Hill late in
the alterhbon, making a quick run to
this cffy in a two cylinder Buick,
driven by- Chesbro, the MacCormac
chauffeur, and got. to the Allyn House
in the gathering dusk. There the
safe was left in the machine at the
Trumbull street entrance, where it
attracted the attention of pedestrians,
although it was small and took up
little room. While Mr. Fisher went
for Wilbur H. Halllday, the 01‘an
locksmith,- on Frent street, the sale
was smuggled through the rear en
trance into the baggage room of the
otel
Later in the evening Mr. Hailiday
arrived and essayed to open the safe
trying the combination. . The
veteran cracksmith put his ear to
the lock while he tried combination

was summoned and the safe was taken
to Mr. Haliiday’s rooms on From
street,‘ where in‘ the dim light of a
kerosene lamp. ji‘mniies and nippers
were applied with little effect.
Then the small square box came in
for treatment and this was opened
without much trouble. A few bundles
were taken out, but Mr Dixon sdld

were tried with the: effect, but it
was nearly mid ght when the effects
were finally brought forth. There was
an expectant silence as Mr. Dixon
opened the rolls of papers. but this
was succeeded by a feeling (if disco
pointment as the examination showed
nothing of interest. Then the party
returned to the Allyn House for a
further. examination of the documents.
Mr. Dixon was interviewed by.a re-
porter for the “Courunt” lust even-

doubtedly be settled in this state, He
said it had practically been agreed

The South Norwalk water commis-

not to participate in the firemen's pn~
rude to be held in Port Chester, on Co-
toper 213i under the subpices of the
Port Chester Fire Department.
The Norwalk firemen have decided
to decline the invitation as this pa
rode comes Just in the middle of the
big annual fair of the department. at
the armory.
141st night. Chief Edward J Thomas
and Treasurer J. Thornton Prowitt, of
the department. signed a contract with
the Reed Fair mpany. of Salem.
Mass. for the lacerations and illumi-

The decorations this year will be the.

annual fairs of the department. The
armory will be made. to resemble a
Moorish village and in the scheme of
illumination 20.000 electric lights will
be used The decorations will be very
expensive, but the firemen feel that
the result will be well worth thobesvy
