for several years the residence Of Frank
Underhill, on the Cove road between this
village and Sycamore Hill. The family
has been in the habit Of placing the silver
ware. jewelry and other valuables in big
safe in the dining room at night, and II
the burglars had confined their attention
to the safe they might have had more re-
ward for their trouble, but they did not
know about it or despaired OF being able TO
open it, as they went to the upper floors
in search Of booty.
Mr. Blair was awakened about 4 O'Clock
by the flashing Of light in his face. Sitting
up in bed he saw man behind the light
and asked: "Whas do you want hereP"
The burglar made no reply and fed from
the room. As he did 80 another man came
sliding down the banister Of the stairway
leading to the top floor and the robbers
escaped from the house together.
They had ramacked three unoccupied
Foonas and had collected . number Of small
articles. but secured nothing Of much value.
A close watch has been kept for the robbers,
but 30 far the attempts TO catch them have
been without avail.
