 A West Side disciple Of Bacchus while after that eye opener on the morning after the night before, told dreamy story early Friday morning that created considerable excitement i'll the town villages, and after the story was found to be purely imaginative, persisted in the truthfulness, thus proving that the dream was of the kind that did not wear off. In effect the story was that two burglars had entered the Fl. B, Gavitt company store blown open the safe, taken $500 in cash and escaped to the woods: that Pa trolman Nicholas went in pursuit and overlook the burglars. There was ex- change of shots, Policeman Nicholas escaping injury, but the burglars were shot and mortally wounded. The stolen money was recovered.
 This story was started in the early morn and gained rapid and wide cir culatiOn and it was past the noon hour before the whole people seemed to be convinced that the story was an un- adulterated fake. The originator of the story actually believed it to be true, but finally admitted that it might be possible that it was a dream and so strong that it was difficult to convince himself that it must have been a dream. Simply that and nothing more.
