| BURGLARS ROB THE
| P|PERSV|LLE STORE
GOODS TO VALUE OF ABOUT
SIS WERE CARRIED AWAY.
Theft Perpetrated Some Time
Tuesday Night or Yesterday
Morning-SChOol House Was
Entered Probably to Await OPP
perfume Time-Stedl Eberle'S
Slot Machine.

Emil Kohl of Pipersville, of the
general mercantile firm of Kohl &
Hallatz, was a visitor in the city yes
terday and to a representative of The
Leader related the circumstances of
the robbery of their place @. Business
some time during the early hours of
yesterday morning, or the night before.
The place was entered and goods to
the value of about SIS. 90 were taken.
Entrance was effected through the
front door. the robbers probably hav-
ing key that fit the door. They
evidently locked the door again after
entering and for some reason pounded
the lock so that the door could not be
opened in the morning without remov-
ing the lock. The robbers after ran
sacking the store, making it look as
If the tail end of Missouri cyclone
had passed through the room, and
he lpIng themselves to what they
wanted, made their escape via the rear
door Rubbers, shoes, mlttens. caps
and minor articles were taken, also
quantity of whiskey. Two slot
machines were also broken open and
the contents taken. One Of Inc ma
chimes was the property OF August
Schott of this city. Drawers in desks
and counters were removed and the
contents overhauled and then all piled
up on the counters There is no clue
as to the identity OF the perpetrators
of the robbery, but the suppositlon is
that it IS the work of tramps who
made their way over to Pipersville
from Ixonia- 1t was discovered that
the school house had been entered the
same night, AS foot prints were found
on the floor and desks, and cigarette
butts" were found scattered over
the floor. 1t is the belief that the
robbers entered the school building
some time during the evening and
there awaited the hour for the closing
of the store to permit them to tackle
their job. Mr.. Kohl resides directly
across the street from the store, but
neither he or the members of his fam
lily heard any sounds during the night
and none were aware of what had
transpired till the place was opened
in the morning.
A small sized robbery was COM
mitted in this city some time during
Tuesday night. The gum slot
machine was removed from in front
of Eberle's store AMI logged off,
machine, gum, pennies and all. So
far the machine has not been return
ed. The value of the stolen plumber
is about S.. 1t was evidently the
work of some youngsters.

The second month February of
operations for the Van Camp Packing
company at its condensing plant in
this city. shows quite an increase
over the first month, despite the fact
that February is the short month.
The amount to be paid out for the
February delivery is $40, 1885 an
increase uf So, 1913. 80 over the preceding
month. The total number of pounds
of milk received during the month of
February ia GIG, 293. This gives an
idea of what the increasing business
means to the farmers adjacent to Wa
tertown, who for the months of
January and February have received
IS per hundred pounds. The Leader
again takes pleasure in publishing a
lis Of the eighty-fve farmers who
have received over $50 for their
February delivery of milk, while
there are many who have received
less than $50
This bears out the statement of the
superintendent of the factory who
made the statement that the January
payments were only starter and that
the amount would increase month by
month till the first months payment
would look like an insignificant sum.
For the month of February, F. Kohl
haff is high man and on the 18th inst.
will receive a check for $36099, an
increase OF $24 81 over the preceding
month. Certainly Mr.. Kohlhoff has
no reason to complain. and the fact
of the matter is-he is not complain
ing. Others show pruporticnate
increase and the chances are that the
March receipts at the plant, will
exceed by far those of February.
The amount to be paid out for Jan
uary in sums exceeding $50 and the
names of those receiving the same
are as follows:
