Another Robbery.

On Sunday night the store of Nc
Kee & Keplinger, at Vanclevesville
was entered by unknown parties and
robbed of large amount Of goods.
Nothing was known of it until the
store was opened Monday morning,
thus afording the burglars plenty Of
time to make their escape from the
place. Several persons are suspected
as being the guilty party, and a thor
ough search has been instituted, but
as vet no one has been arrested. This
is the second time the store has been
robbed within few months Besides
these robberies, several other places
at Vanclevesville have been entered
and robbed. 1t seems as if all the
