"Csndor" lnterfered With tho
Sale of the Estate.

A certain London auctioneer. In adj
dition to fine personal appearance
and splendid Evolutionary talents. Is
possessed of considerable culture and
knowledge of human nature.
At book sale this gentleman would
read with exquisite taste passages
from the books he was selling. with
brief biographies and criticisms OF
their authors, reciting hexameters
from Greek and Roman classics. and
rendering passages from humorous
writer's with a tone and air so lu.
dicrous as to set the room In roar
OF laughter Thus he often won higher
prices for books than those got at the
shops.
An amusing example Of his clever
ness in extolling an estate is the Ian.
euage with which he once closed a
highly.colored description OF the prop.
erty he was selling. For few mo.
ments he paused. and then said:
"And now. gentlemen, having given
a truthful description of this magnif-
cent estate, candor compels me to ad.
nit that It has two drawbacks-the lit.
ter'of the rose leaves and the noise OF
the nightingale"

MISHAWAKA HAD SERIES
OF THEFTS LAST NIGHT
Thieves Take Gold Watches
and JeWeIry at Two Homes
and Leave VaIuableS Un-
touched at Another.

Quiet. peaceful Mishawaka was
startled and worried Thursday evening
when three crimes were discovered 10
have occurred within her boundaries.
These were the first serious robberles
reported this year. In all three cases
the disturbances were not discovered
until sometime after they had oc-
CURED, and when the police were no
titled the parties had made good their
escape, leaving no clues. All occurred
within an hour, between and s
o'clock.
The first case to be reported was at
the home OF Q. A. Whetstine of 513
Lincoln way T., where Mr.. and Mrs.
Whetstine on returning from a shop
ping trip discovered their front door
unlocked and on investigating found
that several articles OF Jewelry had
been taken from the premises. Among
the articles missing were two gold
watches, a chain and locket, and d
fob and charm, valued at $50. IL IS
thought that a skeleton key was USED
in opening the door.
A few minutes later another call
was received. This time from the
residence of julius Newman, of 10
Pine ST., just around the corner from
the Whetstine home. Here the rob-
bers had gained entrance by smash
ing a shutter and raising a WINDOW.
a gold watch was found to be missing.
other Valuables which had been dis
covered bv the parties were found ly-
ing on the floor Mr.. and Mrs. New
man had been TO the theater and mad
not been away from their home for
more than an hour.
The last call of the evening was re-
ceiVed from the home of eX-Councll-
man George ShObe of Ala Lincoln
way w Mr. and Mrs. Shobe on re-
turning from services at the Presby-
terrain church found a window open
on the west side of the building and
on investigating discovered the mouse
to have been thoroughly ransacked. In
an upstairs bed room a jewelry case
belonging TO Mrs. Shobe and contain
ing valuable articles was found over
turned and the contents spread over
the floor However, nothing was
found missing although further signs
of providers were discovered in every
part of the building. The parties had
even gone to the attic where partly
burnt matches were found lying on
the steps and the entrance to that
part of the house.
The police were completely baffled
in every case. No one could be locat-
ed who had even seen suspicious char
acters In either neighborhood.
Thursday evenings robberies were
the first that Mishawaka has had in
several months, outside OF a few re-
ported chicken thefts in the south
and west end of the city. The home
of ex-Councilman Shobe was broken
into and robbed about year ago.
