STORE RoBBED-On Sunday night some
unknown parties broke into the merchant
tailoring establishment of j. II. T. Webb,
Emmitsburg, and took thcrefrom about
$500 worth of new made clothing, consist.
ing of over coats, under coats, pants and
vests. We were unable to ascertain how the
thieves gained an entrance to the establish
ment. On the following day several part
les mounted their horses and went in search
of the missing articles, but rs yet have not
recovered any of them. We sympathize
with Mr.. Webb IN his loss, and hope he
may find out the perpetrators and bring
them to justice and also recover the articles
stolen.
