known for years that he carried pretty
large deposit and advised him to transfer
It TO a safer place, but he declared that
his house was bank enough for him and
that his arsenal Of three guns and three

Reichard is retired farmer, 80 years
old, and with his wife and unmarried
daughter occupied comfortable home in
East Allentown. He usually carried
from So, 600 to $4,000 balance in his
household bank, and was opposed
to putting his money in charge of others
to tempt them TO steal IL. There was a
big parade of the Knights of the Golden
Eagle here on Monday, and curiosity led
Farmer Reichard and family to leave
their bank without watchman. They
remained in the city from noon until
about 9 o'clock.
When Reichard entered the sitting
room Of his home by the door burglar
left through a screen door on the other
side and went so quickly that he took the
door with him. lie didn't stop to ex-

The farmer was too much overcome
with apprehension to stir from the sit

called him to their bedroom, where a
! fire was found TO be burning in the bed
ding. II was quickly extinguished,
lights were procured and then the spec
tacle Of a ransaclSed house greeted
their eyes. The burglars had
left nothing untouched in their
search for the farmers money bags.

pennies which they had rejected They
found silver and gold coin and did not
care for copper Three thousand dollars
in coin and bills, four gold watches, four
silk handkerchiefs, in which the thieves
tied the coin, two revolvers and some
| jewelry were taken. The fire in the bed
room had been started with view OF
hiding the burglary.
There are no clews whatever to the
identity of the burglars. While the
