dressed as a woman, gagged, choked
and robbed Mrs. George X. Wheelock,
wife OF the chief street engineer OF
the city, in her millinery store, 6S1S

robbers set fire to the building in
the hope, it is thought, that in the
confusion they might make their es-

cessful and now the police are search
ing for the p&ir, of whom only a
meager description was given by Mrs.
Wheelock, who is Frustrated over the

Mrs. Wheelock and Lieut. Berdlck,
the commanding officer OF the pre-
cinct in which the store is located,
declaring openly that Mrs. Wheelock
set fire to the place herself Mr.
Wheelock says he will make Lieut.
Berdick prove the charges or eat
them" Mrs. Wheelock was unable to
give a description of the robbers ex'
cept that she thought one OF them
was n man dressed as a woman.
