The many friends Of a newly married
couple, whose temple OF happiness Is on
Ellery street, are wondering where they
went last evening They were married
about two weeks ago and took up their
residence on Elery street. When they
reached their home they could not unlock
the front door but upon going to the
rear door found a key in the lock Thoy
also found that a light Of glass had
been broken out OF a window.
when they got into the house they
found that all OF the furniture had been
removed from the parior and sleeping
rooms. The bath room door was locked
and this caused the newly married couple
20 think that the roo mwas the hiding
place of the burglars. but upon second
thought the head OF the house came TO
the conclusion that his many friends were
playing joke on him, so he and his
bride left the house. but as they did they
could sec the shutters on the house nearly
"move"
When the young folks were out OF sight
the invaders left for their homes. but
when the ringleader reached his house
ne found that ne was minus the key OF
mis- home on Wood street, and had to
arouse his wife 10 let him in.
This forenoon the recently married
couple found that all OF the furniture had
been stored IN the bath room, and they
will so they say. get even with the pirates
before they are a year older.
