The sad news Of the death Of S.

ture Of health, apparently, it was on
ly natural to think that the years Of
his usefulness were just beginning.
But, alas! tn eWays Of the Creator

DARING BURGLARY
AT NORTH HAVEN

The burglar and robber fever has at
tackled the district and one of the largest
burglaries to occur during this wave of
crime happened yesterday when the res
idence of Mrs. l.. Key, 1926 Allen street,
North Haven was burglarized in broad,
open daylight.
Mrs. Key left the house about II O'Clock,
returning shortly after noon. When she
entered the house she found things
turned topsy turvy, while a hurried ex-
animation developed the fact that many
valuables had disappeared. None of the
neighbors had noticed any one enter
the house, though an open back door
showed the way the intruder had en-
tered 1t is presumed that some one
planned to rob the house and watched
it until sure everyone had left, then
entered from the back yard, this being
easily done without being seen by other
residents of the neighborhood.
Among the articles taken was a silver
3S-calibre Smith& Wesson revolver, three
or four gold stick pins, one of which
was made in the shape of an oak leaf
with settings, was very expensive; one
silk shirtwaist, one lavender lawn dress
with lace trimmings, zone pair of misses
shoes, one misses dress and two savings
banks.
The matter was reported to the sheriff's
office and deputies are investigating.
