rne STATION uroIseu Into.

The third robbery at Noodstown within
a week was reported on Tuesday morning,
when it was found that the railroad depot
had been broken into. Access to the Of
fee was obtained by knocking out the
glass of one of the windows, turning the
catch, and lowering the top sash. The
nickel ornaments OF the safe hinges We're
removed, as was the case in the attempt
on the safe Of Dickinson & Lippincott, a
week ago, and the money drawer forced
open. The drawer contained no money, a
pair of gloves being the only thing taken.
1t is evident hat Woodstown has a thief
within her limits, and if every one will
take a little extra preeaution, and greet the
first suspicious night prowler with a dose
of hot lead. the business can be broken
IN.
