Burglars Rob Store AT North East.

The dry goods and grocery store of
Samuel T. Shippers. 1T North East, was
broken into and robbed. last Friday
night. An entrance was effected by the
burglars in breaking open Il rear door.
The thieves were evidently acquainted
with the location of the plug which oper-
ateS the burglar alarm, as they sawed
the door in two just below the electric
button and opened the lower half. No
clue was left by which they could be
identified, but it is thought the parties
have been i'll the nrighborhood for some
time, as Il kit of burglar tools was found
last week hid in some bushes inst above
North East.
The burglars carried off about 10 pair
of shoes, ! gold watch. I nickel watches,
rcvolverS, jewelry. necktics stockings.
ETC., valued from SlJO TO 5000. This is
the second time this store has been
burglarized since the burglar alarm was
put in. The first time an entrance was
gained by cutting Il pane of glass out of
one of the front windows.
