TWO 6URGLARlEs
Breaks at Stores Of w. r. Worthina-
ton and A. N. Sheppard

Two places of business at North
Bennington. the clothing store OF w.
r. Worthington and the general
store Of Arthur n. Sheppard. we're en-
tered Sunday night.
Entrance into both buildings was
by the way Of a rear window which
the thief or thieves tore from it's
fastenings.
At the Worthington store two
suits OF clothes were taken.
Nothing was taken from the Shep
pard store for the reason that the
burglars found il impossible to force
their way into the main room. They
effected an entrance into the store
room which was filled with barrels of
flour and other bulky goods but the
fastenings on the door into the store
were too strong for them.
News OF the burglaries was tele
phoned to States Attorney w. ].
Meagher in the morning and officers
were at once sent to make an invesu
cation.
