A Peculiar Robbery Case.

Lewiston, June IA peculiar robbery
has just been reported to the police. Sat
urday Ira M. Russell dropped dead in his
store, and among the people who were
attracted to the place was young man
who informed the coroner that he was a
nephew of the deceased and would accom-
pany him to the Russell home. At the
house the young man told the family that
he was an assistant of the coroner and
under these pretences he was given the
freedom of the premises.
Sunday morning the family notified the
coroner that they had been unable tc
find Mr.. RusselFs trousers. Later, how
ever, the missing garment were found in
the attic, but the pockets had beer
cleaned out. Then it developed that the
strange young man had ransacked Mr.
Russelfs store. It is thought that not
much was taken. The young man has
disappeared.
