SOUTH BARTON.
| A burglary was committed at F. B.
Lang's store last Friday night. On Friday
Mr.. Lang put new safe in his store. The
store was closed about the usual hour; but
sometime during the night it was broken
| into, the safe unlocked and about S55 in
money and a gold watch stolen. Some
shoes and other merchandise were taken
from the store, so that Mr.. Lang's loss will
be about 500. No clue to the burglars has
been obtained. 1t is thought that some
one who was acquainted with the lock
combination, and perhaps had made that
acquaintance the day the safe came, is the
| guilty party.
