Detectives and police officials worked
industriously for time on the case

the present story is true these people
had good reasons for not finding any

it was rather queer that efforts to find
the robbers were dropped within a
month or so after the robbery is sup
posed to have occurred.
Burlington Story.
The Burlington Journal has the fol-
lowing to say of the case:
Nearly year ago Burlington was

that the Carlist agitation in Spain is

to take up arms and promise to strike

the majority of the boy king. After
the coup Don Carlos is to be placed
on the throne. The report further
states that the Italian government
had notified Don Carlos that he must

that the periodically reported Carlist
