themselves that they had a home left
into which to seek shelter, everything
else having been taken during their
absence-that is everything that
could be carried away from the park
lodge where they live.
The case Is one OF the most flag
rant cases Of robbery that has come
to the notice Of the local officials. Not
a stitch OF clothing belonging to Mr..
Thmas had been left by the mlscre-
ants and Mrs. Thomas found only one
old dress 10 call her own. Every bit
Of bedding was missing as was also
the pillow cases. sheets. towel which
had been towed away In the dresser
drawers. and even the silver ware
and dishes We're missing, neither had
the eatables I'm the house been spar
ed. and a big supply OF these had
just been laid in before Mr.. and Mrs
Thomas left on their visit. One sack
OF sugar that had been slowed away
under a tub i'm the kitchen was the
only article worth taking that had
been overlooked.
A safe deposit box containing a
gold watch and chain and valuable
papers was included in the property
that was missing as was also bunch
of keys belonging to the pavilion.
