A North Main street man who con-
ducts small grocery store in connec-
ton with his other business interests,
went into his store this morning and
discovered that someone had made away
with a small number of greenbacks dur
ing the night. Suspicion pointed its fin
ger to a burglar, but a careful examina-
ton of the premises failed to disclose,
any signs OF an intruder during the
night. As the forenoon wore on the
grocer recalled the fact that in a mo
ment OF carelessness he might have left
his cash drawer partly open when he
left the store last night. A further
scrutiny of the counter and drawer tend
ed to shed additional light on the mys-
terry. The robbery was the work of rats,
as il developed that two or three bills
had been lugged away from the drawer
to the floor, although none of them was
sufficiently mutilated to prevent their re-
demption by the treasury department.
The grocer is thanking his lucky star
that the robbery" was not more Sc
rious affair.
