Last Friday Night.

Baptist Church Entered by Burglars
Last Friday Night.
The Baptist Church was burglarized
during Friday night. Entrance was
effected through one Of the windows
on the side toward DR.. Rood's house,
and about eight feet up from the
ground. An old fence post and piece
of shingle lath were used to climb up
to the window. Tracks around the
window are those of boys. Once inside
the building the burglar secured a wax
taper from its receptacle, then from
Samuel Moore's tool box a screw driver.
With this the secretary's desk in the
Sunday School room was pried open,
and the infant class birthday box and
the Sunday School treaSurer's box
rified. The birthday box was left in
good shape, but the other was found
in the yard adjoining in the morning,
broken and with the collection and at
tendance cards gone. The pastors
box was also brokens
Whoever did the job showed a fam
iliarity with the locations Of things in
the building, but timed their visit
when the boxes were not as well filed
with money as might have been the
case. 1t is estimated that about S5 in
all was secured. the birthday box hay
ing been emptied recently, and the
treasurer's box containing only the
collection of one Sunday. A box be-
longing to the Ladies' Aid Society
was also ransacked.
