MAKE LONG VISIT
WELL KNOWN FARMER AND
WIFE TO SPEND SOME TIME
IN WASHINGTON,

Z. e. Moore of north of the city is
looking forward to an extended visit
with his sister in the northwest and
has sold much of his stock and effects
from his home place and has rented
the farm in order that he and Mrs.
Moore may take we'll merited rest
or vacation. They plan to make the
trip when Mr.. Moore's arm which was
broken some weeks ago In an auto
accident, is sufficiently healed to per-
nit his travel with convenience. They
will go to the home of Mr.. Moore's
sister, Mrs. G.. M. Bushnell near Olym-
pia, Wash, where they will stay for
probably a year and half. The
trip of the Moores has been planned
for some time and they expect to
make a real visit while they are at It..
The home of Mrs. Bushnell Is the
subject of a lengthy descriptive arti-
Gle in the Olympia, Wash, Recorder
an excerpt from which follows:
One of the beauty spots Of Thurston
county is the home of Mrs. G. M.
Bushnell on Lake st. Clair, twelve
miles southeast Of Olympia. Driv-
ing for a quarter Of mile off the
county road, turn in private drive
way brings suddenly into view a
beautiful bungalow surrounded by
broad porticos and snow white &C.
ment walks, and in the distance, show
ing through the openings in the tim
Der and shrubbery glances of Lake
st. Clair, looking like cluster OF
sapphires. To the suggestion that SO
beautiful a place should be located
closer to the public road that it might
be seen and admired by the travelling
public, brings from Mrs. Bushnell a
mild protest that that would spoil her
whole idea of secluded comfort and
luxury. 49,.

the trail. This was tried several times
and each time the dogs would lose the
trail near the ice house. Five dwelling
houses in that community were search
ed but without results.
Auto Means of Escape.
The searchers then secured the
thicket along the race bank and
through Central addition hoping to
find some clue but it was useless. 1t Is
the belief Of the officers that the
burglars made their escape from the
city by the means Of an automobile. 1t
was at first thought that they had es-
capped on a Milwaukee freight as the
men were headed towards the Milwau-
kee junction but this idea has been dis
missed from their minds.
Inasmuch as the dogs lost the trail
each time at the ice house it Is almost a
certainty that the men escaped in
some kind Of vehicle. 1t would have
been impossible for them to board a
moving freight with the large amount
Of merchandise that was in their pos
session.
All Of the surrounding towns have
been notified Of the robbery and the
police in the neighboring cities have
been instructed to keep a close lookout
for all suspicious characters. No ar
rests have been made by the local Of
f1cers but all suspicious characters will
be arrested and held for Investigation.

TWO ROBBER|ES
ARE COMMITTED
BURGLARS ENTER THE CRAMBLlT
POLLING STORE ANO FLETCH-
Err MARKET
MAKE GOOD HAUL
The Robbers Made the Largest Haul
at the Crambit g. Polling Store
Ever Recorded in Local
Police Circles.

Thieves, who so far have eluded the
police, the sheriff and blocdhounds
made successful raids on the Cramblit
& Polling Clothing store and the
! Fletcher Meat Market sometime late
Sunday night or early Monday morn
| ing. The burglars We're very success
full at both business houses and at
the Cramblit & Polling Clothing store
they made one Of the biggest hauls that
has been recorded in the police circles
for sometime, securing merchandise
which in value will reach close to the
six hundred dollar mark, besides Sc
curing $5.75 in cash out of the cash
register. In their raid at the Fletcher
Meat Market they secured $21 in
cash. Both of the robberies were re-
ported to the police at an early hour
this morning and in spite of the fact
that the officers, assisted by Sheriff
Knox and bloodhounds, have been
searching in surrounding territory for
the guilty parties, they so far have
eluded them and all hopes Of arresting
the burglars In this vicinity has been
given up.
Largest Haul in History.
There Is not doubt but that both
robberies were committed by the
same parties and it is the opinion Of
the officers that the men who did the
work were old hands at the game. They
were bold in their work as both bust
ness houses which were entered are
located on Main street in the heart Of
the business district. According to
a statement made by Chief Fielder this
morning the burglars made the largest
haul at the Cramblit & Polling Clothing
store that has ever been recorded in
the local police circles.
Enter Through Rear Door.
The burglars entered the Cramblit
& Polling Clothing store through the
rear door by breaking a pane of glass
and removing the bar which held the
door. Once inside they ransacked the
store from one end to the other and
secured a large amount of merchan-
disc. An invoice was made by Mr..
Cramblit this morning and it was
found that the burglars secured, eight
suits, three overcoats, number Of
raincoats and pants, two trays of stick
pins, six dizen tie clasps. four dozen
neckties, two suit cases, one travelling
