night, caused a big sensation i'm that
town this morning. The thieves fore
ed open small back window and
cleaned out the cases thoroughly,

til the store was opened this morn-
ing. and there is no clue to the
thieves They seemed to be familiar
with the location OF things around the
store, and Milford people. think they
were men who knew the town pretty
well. The matter has been placed ia
