The Funeral Of Mrs. Bertha
Gamble Was Held at St.
Marks This Afternoon.

The funeral OF Mrs Bertha Gamble.
who died in the early part of the week in
Greenfield, Mass, was held from ST.
Marks church az o'clock this after
noon. There was large attendance or
relatives and friends and large num-
ber of handsome floral tributes.
The services were conducted by Rev
Herbert A Remck, rector OF the church
after which the remains were taken 10

PROPERTY STOLEN.
Some time during the early part of the
week some one effected an entrance 10
the residence OF Or. Fred Nen on Bum
street, and succeeded in getting away
with a quantity of property out OF the
house without detection.
IL Is thought that entrance was effect
ed by means OF false key, but the police
have as yet been unable 10 get hold OF
any clue TO the thief. The property
stolen consisted for the most part OF sill
yerware which was taken from several
different parts OF the house.
The crime was cop,mitted between
and 3 clock when the members or the
family we're away. The neighborhood
Is n thickfy settled one. but none OF the
strangers fooiing about the place, and
thus far there seems to be little likeli-
hood that the thief or thieves will be
discovered
