The policemen of Mount Holly thought
they had a regular cinch on Wednesday
night. The officers were stationed at va
rious points along the business streets
at about 2 o'clock when they were startled
by the sound of one of the new whistles
which they now USE This brought three
of them to the fountain, where they were
informed by Officer Collins that he had
seen burglar taking plumber to barn
on Pine street, where horse and wagon
was in readiness to haul it away. Imme
diately the force lined up and hurried tC
the scene, and sure enough they found
two Italians under suspicious circum-
stances. ''What have you got here p de
handed Tommy, as he picked up bag
ooh, nothing; everything is straight
came the answer ''Now let's make sure
of this game" Clipped in John, as he
looked the barn over with lantern. $50

your uncle Fuller to get in the game,
suggested the Captain after getting hi
second wind, so hand was thrust int,
one of the bags and instead of finding
chicken feathers, as was expected, it cam
in contact with fertilizer that is used il
dressing patent leather. Want to ex
anime the other bags p asked one of tn
Italians, as he held bag in close proxim
ity to Joby's face, but the latter made n
reply until he reached Mill street.
