A curious mix-up of team and two
motor vehicles created deal of excite
ment just below Depot square late this
by n. NJ. Nelson, together with tour
ing car proceeding from the south at
tempted the Merchant street turn at
the same time. Tethered just around
the corner of Merchant street was a
team with three persons on the carriage
seat. Instantly the traffic problem began
to grow complexed. No one appears
to have been aware of the presence of
the other vehicles until the three were
quite firmly wedged in between the curb |
ing that borders the street on either |
side. One rear wheel of the carriage !
was stripped of its rubber tire and there
were other minor damages, but the peo-
pie on the seat had happy escape from
injury.
The police were called to South Main |
street this morning TO investigate a
break at the store conducted by Daniel I
Romanus. Entrance to the little mer
camille building had been gained by fore
ing a window on the south side Whoev
er perpetrated the burglary must have
been familiar with the interior of the |
store, the police believe. No attempt |
was made TO remove the goods in whole
sale lots, but the thief contended him
self with dabbing about in the stock,
lifting here handful of cigars and there
a can OF sardines. Now he was taking
some of Mr. Rcmanus' choice olives and
again be gathered in a fist full of as
paragus. All about the store are evil
dences of the lust for loot. A patent
match vending machine was rifed OF
some few pennies and loose change ag- I
gregating probably 81 was taken from
the cash drawer. 1t was late at night
when the proprietor left his place of /
business. He was the first to enter aft
er the thief had left this morning. The
police are not bothered by a multiplicity
Of clues.
