Ten cottages on the North Beach road, Hampton Beach, were ransacked some time during the week-end, and the police who did not discover the breaks until April 5, are making an attempt to obtain some clew as to the identity of the thieves. It is believed that the breaks have some connection with the robbery of 14 cottages at York Beach, Me., during the past week.

The breaks were discovered when Dr. Fowley of Lawrence, Mass., came to open his cottage for the day. He informed the police. Chief of Police Harry Munsey, visiting nearby cottages, found that breaks hade been made in two small stores, one owned by James W. Alley of Portsmouth, and the other by Juseph Kusiak of Exeter, and also cottages owned by Mrs. Annie W. Marble of Exeter, Prof. Arthur G. Leacock of Philips Exeter Academy, Geo. L. Hamilton of North Andover, Clinton S. Amden, Miss Elizabeth M. Walker and Miss Alice G. Pennock of Manchester.

Although the extent of the losses have not been fully estimated, it is believed that the loss by vandalism in the cottages will prove as large as the loss by theft.
