WHITING RAILROAD
OFFICE IS ROBBED
New York Central Ticket
Office Entered by Bold
Robber.

WHITING, IND. Dec. 1.-THE rob-
bling of the New York Central station
ticket office last night caused some
what OF stir in police circles.
Raymond Dineen. the night man, left
the station at 9:45 for his lunch. Dur
ing his absence the depot was well
lighter, and when he returned at 1895
he was amazed TO find the window In
the ticket office smashed. Upon en-
tering the ticket office he found the
drawers in the desk open. Thirty-five
dollars in cash was found to have
been stolen. but as far as could be
learned last night no tickets were
found to be missing.
The ticket window where the tick
cts are sold is about 4x2 feet; on the
outside is an iron netting which II
was necessary to break off and the
wooden panels in the slide window
were also smashed, as if knocked out
with a big club. Through this en-
trance was gained. and exit must also
have been made the same way as al
the doors still remained locked.
No trace of the intruder has been
found. and the fact that the act was
done so early in the evening and while
the depot was so well lighted shows
that the person. whoever he be, was
taking great chances Of being caught

carry less weight even when the Smith
Form-a-Truck is loaded to full capacity
than they do under ordinary use on a
Ford touring car.
90 per cent of the load is carried on
the solid rear tires.
And a Ford chassis with Smith
Form a-Truck lasts even longer than it
does in touring car service, because it
actually does less work.
