ALMY, 
NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
Burcuary At West MANCHESTER. 
The summer home of Gordon Ab- 
bott at West Manchester was broken 
into last Sunday afternoon, but as far 
as can be learned nothing of value 
was taken, as very little is left in the 
house during the winter months. Wil- 
liam Irwin, the caretaker, was making 
his usual rounds of the property about 
4.30 Sunday when his attention was 
attracted by a whistle. His suspic- 
ions were aroused and he at once went 
to the house and he saw that a shutter 
had been removed. When he went 
around to the other side of the build- 
ing to enter he heard more whistles 
and soon two men rushed out the door 
along side of him. He got a good 
view of one of the men, both of whom 
were young. He telephoned the po- 
lice station but was unable after re- 
peated efforts to locate anyone. Of- 
ficer Bullock, it appears, was out on 
duty and the chief was home. Mr. 
Irwin finally reached Officer Stoops 
on the phone and the latter got Offi- 
cer Andrews, and the two found the 
chief. It was after six o’clock when 
the three reached West Manchester 
aad by that time the burglars had 
made a “get away.” 
Mrs. Abbott came down from Bos-
