On Wednesday night of last week
a gang of robbers made good haul
at st. Johnsbury, on Summer street.
They first called ON Henry Ely,
through an unlocked back door.
They entered his sleeping room and
distracted $40 in cash from his
pants and left without waking the
family. The next call was at VIM.
Cooks near by, where they found
S23 in his trousers. Mrs. Cook saw
the shine of the dark lantern, nudg-
ed her husbann, who got his eyes
open just in season to see the de-
parture of the thieves. On dressing
the next morning Cook was short
pair of pants and has not been able
to find them since. Asa Livingston
was next complimented. They took
$13 from his pants, and seeing some
clothing on chair, took it and car
ried it out doors. The bottom gar
ment was the vest, which contained
considerable money and a gold watch,
and this was fortunately left. Sol
Humphrey was visited but nothing
| taken. There was SO little noise or
fuss made by the parties visited that
the thieves will doubtless conclude
that st. Johnsbury folks are the right
kind of people>to patronize.
