Three robbers of epicurean palate
and extraordinary daring are being
sought by the police today for the
looting of an old colonial mansion in
Mill street. Belleyille.
Before ransacking the house they
ravished the pantry and INDUCED in
a s%umptuous repast,
Upstairs. in two prim, lavender
perfumed chambers, Miss Jennie A.
Osborne and her sister Priscilla. the
elderly of the place, were

The men entered through a rear
window at 2 a. m. They boldly
switched on the electric light in the
dining room closed the heavy blinds
and began their forage for food.
Their first find was q dozen eggs.
These were quickly transformed over
the kitchen gas range into three
omelets. These and a Welsh rarebit,
cleyerly ~concocted by n of the trio
and eaten hot, formed the cnef
d'oeuvre.
They carried the kitchen crockery
to the dining-room and sat down
around the mahogany dining table.
There, under the blaze OF 1.-THE electric
candelabra, they partook of the feast
they had prepared.
Send Out for Beer.
When the kitchen brandy gave
out they were sore put Ito 1t as to
what they should drink. They eau
tiously explored the ~cavernous re-
cesses of the ancient wine cellar.
But. the last sof the old claret and
mellow Madeira had long before gone
the way of all good wines.
1t was q sad predicament, but not
beyond the craft and daring of the
intrepid trio. One of them offered
to go boldly out for a "bucket of
suds."
He did so, returning, like a shadow.
to the open window The beer a
was deposited in the place of honor
in the middle of the polished sur
face of the table. From thin
stemmed glasses, fragile as egg
shell. the three gulped down the
beer.
But the noise IF their carousal had
begun to filter seerily through the
old house. Their suppressed hilarity
reverberated family on the floors
above. Shadows nom the dining
room danced from time to time like
uneasy ghosts in the hallway.

At the sight of the three men in

of terror. 1t was answered by an
oath from below. The door banged

The men fled in haste, leaving the
remains of their meal behind them.
In their departure they took the fol-

gold-trimmed; one silk umbrella. two
