CampDeI's Jewelry Store and Rosecran'
Novelty Store Burglarized.
LANsFoRD, Pa, April 1S.-Two daring
robberies were committed in this town
Sunday morning between three and
four o'clock. The first place entered
was the jewellery store of a. L. Camp
bell, where the burglars secured lot
of watches, clocks, rings and spectacles
to the value of about $40 The burg
lars effected an entrance by smashing
the glass in the large front window.
1t is said that man living near the
store saw the robbers smash the glass
and then run up the street and wait
there to see whether the noise had
awakened anyone Finding the coast
clear, they returned, entered the store
through the opening in the window and
robbed it. Al this time this more than
coward gave no alarm.
The burglars next entered the store
of William Rosencrans, also by smash
ing the window. The noise Of falling
glass was heard by Mrs. J. II. Klock
who at once gave the alarm. The
burglars, however, secured about $50
worth of rings and chains, 1t is not
known in which direction the robbers
went. Yesterday few men, supposed
TO be the robbers, were seen on the
mountain side, but they have not YET
been captured
