Juniata sentinel and Republican. [volume] (Mifflintown, Juniata County, Pa.) 1873-1955, 1874-01-14

LAST Tuesday night week the Tai
loring Emporium OF Sheriff Leadea
and the Shoe Store of John North
we're entered By thieves, and clothing
taken from The former and boots from
the latter. The entrance to Loudon' s
place was effected through a window
opening on the Water street side Of the
building. The shutters to the window
had been closed in the evening, but
their fastenings we're of . frail kind,
simply springs on the lower edge of the
shutters, which, when closed, fastened
on metal fange, screwed on the win
dow sill. The next morning black
smith tools we're found in front Of Mr.
Hoffman's house, which were soon
identified as The property Of Mr.. Jesse
Howe They, too, had been stolen the
night just then pa-t and been used, As
the marks on the shutters evidenced, to
break an entrnsce to the shop. The
Sheriff loses heavily by the incursion.
The thieves took = number Of pants
and vests and several coats, all Of the
best material. among the coats was
one that belonged to Mr. Harman,
teacher in this place. Mr.. H.rman's
coat was worth $500. The SherifFs
loss reaches upwards of two hundred
dollars. To meet il the thieves left
him a pair of old pants and al old vest.
North's place is on Main street, near
ly opposite Doty, Parker & Co.'S Bank.
Here the thieves ignored the street
window and went around to the lot end
OF the building aud entered through
window there. They did not raid as
un,paringly on North's boots as they
did on Loudon's clothing. They were
content to take two pair of boots, No.
6 each, and left in their stead Two pair
of old shoes Of corresponding mum
Der. Putting on two or three pair Of
shoes or boots is not as easily done as
drawing on some two or three pairs of
pants, and possibly that accounts why
they touched Mr.. North's goods SO
sparingly.
Who the thieves arc, and their where
abouts is not known. Tramrs, how
ever, are credited with having done the
work. That which gives warrant for
such belief or opinion, CT credit, is
found in the fact that about 10 O'Clock
on the night Of he robbery two tramps
left The soup house and did not return.
Their names, as given oy their fellow
tramps, were Thomas Dunn and NJ.
Pierce. On an examination of the
pants aid vest left at Loudou's, a num-
Der of the men who that night lodged
at the soup house declared them the
property of one OF iIe men who left at
the time above stated.

matter OF diet altho Ugh he gives the preference
to vegetable over animal food. He delivers in
brief and plain words the reasons why we
should eat and drink and the effect OF food
on the animal economy. His remarks, for the most
