FOREST CITY.

Burglars effected an entrance into the
Forest house Thursday night. by pry
ing open one of the large front WIN
dows. The screws in the catch that
fastens the window at the top were
torn from the wood by the pressure
used. Mr.. Cunningham's desk was
broken into but the burglars found
nothing there save private papers and
a Canadian dollar bill. The contents
were left undisturbed. They then took
five dollars out of the cash register,
which money had been left there for
change in the morning, and departed
via the window. A number of over
coats hung in the wash room, but these
seemed to be no temptation to the
knights of the Jimmy. This is but one
of series of burglaries extending over
two years and it is pretty certain that
a local gang is doing the work. Thus
far all efforts to capture them or to
get even a clue to their identity has
proved unavailing. One of these times,
though, their fancied security from de-
lection will lead them too far and the
result will be a good long term at Cher
ry Hill or some other strictly secluded
place of residence.

| Thursday night about $50 o'clock
| Vandling was treated to a battle that,
though smaller in proportion, was al
most as interesting to those who wit
messed 1t as is the melee now being en-
| joyed by the classic Greek and the
| "unspeakable Turk" The dramatis
| personae were a mischievous small boy
| on a bicycle in the first act. The small
| boy threw a "sprague" into the front
wheel of the bicycle which caused it to
stop, but the larger boy kept on going
| for several yards further. Boy No. 2
| proceeded to chastise boy No. l, which
| reused the ire of the smaller lads faith
er and mother. They attacked the BIZ
| cycle rider and his father who was
| nearby, came to his rescue. In scene
| second some very uncompllmentary
and lurid language was used on both
sides and finally three-cornered fight
ensued in which the woman in the
case" displayed her prowress as an
all around warrior by flooring the BIZ
cycle riders father with a club. BY
