Tuesday morning when the clerk
of Seidner & Sons delicatessen store
on Willow street opened the store. she
found that someone had broken into
the place during the night. 1t was
supposed to be the work of boys. as
candy and sweet things were about
all that was taken. Entrance was
gained through the front window, a
pane Of glass having been broken, en-
abling the burglars to enter. AS it
was a stormy night and there were
no electric lights it gave the intru-
ders a fine chance to do their work,
and as no one else occupies the build
ing, no one heard them scome or go.
Miss Seidner stated Tuesday she
never left any money there as far as
she could ascertain. only a few dol
