 The burglar alarm that was installed fn Stanton's Bazaar twenty five years ago was sounded for the first time Sun day morning, at 145. Chief Brown and Pafrclmen Ferguson and Mitchell were mt the store in short order, but the burglars had vanished. MT. Stanton was called and an investigation show ed that entrance had been made through a high picket fence and thence into an anteroom. To get into this room a hole was cut through the panel of the door and a heavy iron bar removed. The glass panel of the door leading to the store was broken out and then attempt was made to turn the bolt that would admit the burglars to the. store. When the bolt was shot back the burglar alarm was sounded and the intruderS made good their escape.
 From all the circumstances it is ev- 1GHIlL I1dL A4e were IdQ1lndr with the premises, especially so in regard to fixing the location of the iron bar that fastened the outer door, and the knowledge of absolute aconceal- ment while at work cutting away the pickets of the high fence. That bur Elar alarm after being dormant for a quarter of a century finally saved eo MT. Stanton many dollars.
