Burglars Who Entered Saidner Store Had a Sweet Tooth—Petition for Buoy in Channel—Greenberg-Bendett Betrot! Tuesday morning when the clerk of Seldner & Son's delicatessen store on Willow street opened the store, she found that someone had broken into the place during the night. It was supposed to be the work of boys, as candy and sweet things were about all that was taken. Entrance was gained through the front window, a pane of glass having been broken, en- abling the burglars to enter. As it was a stormy night and there were no electric lights it gave the intru- ders a fine chance to do their work, and as no one else occupies the build- ing, no one heard themScome or go. Miss Seidner stated Tuesday she never left any money there as far as she could ascertain, only a few dol- lars’ worth was taken. Petition for Buoy in Channel. Congressman Richard P.

A great deal of excitement prevails here because of the robberies commit- ted some time early Tuesday morning when Mercier's drug store and dry goods store, James Burby's barbe shop and Harold Lawton's garage w entered and relieved of some of their valuable goods. The robbers obtained tools and other articles from the gar- age which is on Plainfield street near the corner of Railroad avenue. It is believed that the robbers next made their way down Railroad avenue to the Mercier block. They first entered the dry goods department by break- ing the cellar door in the rear of the building and gaining entrance to the store from there. The robbers obtain- ed their largest booty here, obtaining goods amounting to $50 or $60. There is an entrance from the dry goods store into the drug store in the rear of the block which was not noticed by the robbers as they made their en- trance into the drug store from the basement. Here they obtained dif- ferent articles which Mr. Mercier val- ued from §: to $20. Burby’s barber shop was the next place to be entered, the robbers mak- ing their entrance through the front window of the shop. In entering through the window one of the rob- bers must have received a severe cut as there were blood stains all along the window si Mr. Burbe had a gard to it, will be greatly benefitted |number of prizes in his shop and the by the improvement. At nearly all |robbers succeeded in taking all but times of the year the passage is a|one. These prizes were valued at from $20 to $25. They also obtained some money from the cash register. It was here that it was first noticed that a robbery had been committed for when Henry Derouchu went to work he was surprised to see the window open and Great ranging from 12Y;¢ to 85¢. pric 19c, box. upwards wards On entering the shop he soon discov- ered that the prizes were stolen. The authorities were notified of the robberies and they started to work on the case, but up to last evening no trace of the robbers was found. The way in which these robbers broke into these different places and got away without anyone in town hearing or seeing them shows that a night po- liceman would be a great benefit and safety for the interest o the town and townspeople. If a night policeman had been on duty these robbers probably would not have made such an easy get away with their booty.

Tuxedo is the mildest, pleasantest pipe tobacco in the world — made absolutely non-biting and delightfully mellow by the original “Tuxedo Process’’ that has never been success- “fully imitated. Last Christmas the demand for Tuxedo humi- dor jars was so great that the supply of many deal- ers was exhausted, and thousands of people were disappointed.
