Thief That Took Things Easy.-Post-
master Yingling, of Reisterstown, who con-
ducts a jewery store in connection with ms
duties as postmaster, was robbed OF about $40
worth of iewelry last Monday night. The arti-
Giles stolen include two silver Swiss watches a
gold watch case, two silver chains several
watch fobs, gold bracelet etc. The robbery
was remarkable for the 0oldness OF the perpe-
traitor rather than for the amount OF booty oo-
tanned. Mrs. Yingling was away Monday and
the robber evidently secreted himself in the
house. which includes the postofhce room.
Mr.. and Mrs. Yingling remained in the store
until II P. NJ. Monday, and upon retiring hung
the kew 10 the hall door on nail near the door.
From the disarrangement of pillows and cover
on acouch in the parlor, which Mrs. YiDgliDg is
positive she placed in position the last time she
was in the room, the thief was quietly repos-
ing on the couch and saw the key placed IN It's
position, for the key was in the door the next
morning He left as quitely as he entered,
and his coming and going were not discovered
until the next morning.
Have Not Compiled With Terms Of
Sale.-After a hearing in the Circuit Court
here on Saturday last in the case of REGISTER
versus REGISTER, Chief Judge Burke declared
that he would sign decree authorizing the
the trustees to resell the REGISTER property,
known as Beulah, at the purchaser risk if the
terms OF sale were not complied with by Feb
ruary 18th, 1908. The property, which is To-
Gated on REGISTER avenue, between the York
and Hillen roads, was sold last May at private
sale to Mr.. Daniel T. REGISTER, representing
himself and two other interests for $4,000. A
petition was filed alleging that the terms of
sale have not been complied with.
Strange Formation ofSteer's Tongue
A tongue the end of which is almost the exact
shape of human hand, was taken the other
dav from a steer killed at the Union abattoir,
saws the Baltimore Sun. Mr.. Harry Rosen. a
wholesale beef salesman, has the tongue at the
store of Charles Mayerson, 925 East Baltimore
street and intends to preserve it in alcohol.
The end of the tongue is divided into five
FINGERS" one of which is as large as thumb
in proportion to the others. The under side
is formed like the palm of hand, and slight
depression at the end of each Finger makes
it appear to have once possessed nails.
