Fritz opened the church so it would
be in readiness for the decorations be-
fore the Howorth funeral. She left
several papers and other mail matter
in the Sunday school supply closet on
a shelf and went on an errand, leav-
ing the church doors open. On return
ing she found that one package which
was addressed to Mrs. r. J. Ballenger,
Dow City, and containing three pairs
of ladies' hose had been broken open
per and string were left on the shelf.
Search failed to reveal the missing
articles. Returning later thorough
search was made and the stockings
were found hidden behind a carpet
sweeper under large pile of papers
on the closet floor. 1t is known
almost to certainty who the
guilty party is. Stealing is serious
offense, but to break open package
of mail addressed to another party is
great deal more serious, and any
person proven guilty Of such an of.
Tense will have to suffer a severe pen
atty. Better be more cautious in the
future.

able piece of property and one that
