Daring Burglary At Portland.

What appears to be one OF the most
darinx robberies ever brought to thu
attention OF the local police. Is said
to have occurred some time Tuesday
night at the furniture store Of Samuel
Serata, a Preble street, Portland,
when at least a team load Of furniture
was carried OF. The loss OF the
goods was not discovered until the
place was opened for business
Wednesday morning. Tho method
employed in gaining entrance to the
store seems to be also somewhat Of a
mystery. Some are inclined to the
belief that 1t was by way OF q stable
in rear Of the place. Several clues
wero traced down by the police with
out result.
