PASTOR OF EPISCOPAL
Church IS ROBBED OF
$500 IN VALUABLES
Burglar Enters Before Daylight
and Ransack Rev. GilPs
Home.
ONE WINDOW PRIED UP
Entrance Effected and Robbery Com
mitted Without Awakening Any
one in Parish House.

Walking into the bedroom of Rev. S.
Gill, pastor of the Episcopal church,
while the clergyman, his wife and two
children were asleep there, bold rob-
ber, sometime early today, ransacked
the place and carried away with him
a gold watch, diamond ring and 9th
er jewelry valued at over 5000.
This burglary was one of the most
daring ever perpetrated in Salem, ac-
cording to the police Rev. and Mrs.
Gill and the children retired early last
night, and all slept in the same room.
The thief entered by prying up a win
dow, and, while the occupants of the
house were slumbering, calmly went
through the PASTORS pockets, the jewel
case standing on the dresser, and even
opened bureau drawers without waking
the sleeping family.
The members Of the family were un-
conscious Of the fact that anyone had
been in the house until this morning,
when Rev. Gill looked for his watch.
The police were notified immediate
ly, but so far no clew has been found.

that it is better to follow the terms of
the Sherman law than fight it,
