ROBBERS HAUL
GOODS AWAY
Lay In Good Supply OF
Provisions TO Last The
Entire Winter

What is believed to have been
one of the most daring robberies
committed in Boealnsa for years
occurred sometime Tuesday night
when almost a wagon load of pro-
visions were hauled from the store
of A. M blanche, of Columbia street.
Entrance was gained at the front
window and the wagon placed at
the back Of the store. That the
robbers were in no hurry is sho Nh
by the fact that they went to the
lard and sugar barrels where they
took over one hundred pounds each.
They went into the refrigerator and
secured a lot of fresh meats and
iced poultry. A large amount of
canned goods, all the creamery but
ter in the store, and were careful to
take the most select stock.
Mr.. blanche was unable to give
the exact amount of his loss but
can figure where over one hundred
dollars of provisions were taken.
The police are working on the case.
