BURGLAR GETS INTO
THE FERKEL BAKERY

Sometime between o'clock Mon
day night and O'Clock this morning
burglar effected an entrance 20
Ferkel's bakery and restaurant at 522
Main street by climbing thru the
transom over the door in the back
part of the room. He was, evidently,
prompted TO break into the building
more by hunger than by a desire TO
steal as nothing seems TO have been
carried away, altho there was fifteen
or twenty dollars in cash in a till
under the counter and in pan in one
of the show cases, which he must
have seen, but did not take. He pick
ed up the money in the tin pan in the
show case and moved it out of the
way in order 10 get a piece of cake,
but it was eatables that he wanted,
instead of money. and none of the
latter was disturbed.
He broke open eight or ten loaves
of bread, and as many pies of differ-
kind, in an effort TO satisfy the
cravings of his appetite, but, as far rs
can be ascertained, took nothing
away with him. He went into the eel
lar and looked into the ice box, con
tanning meats of various kinds, but
ter. etc, but left everything as he
found it, The burglary was discov-
cred at o'clock this morning when
the baker went to the building to be
gin his days work.
Crumbs from the bread, pies, cakes
and cookies eaten by the intrduer
told of the burglary, but left no clue
10 the identity of the man who had
committed it That he was not Who'll
ly dishonest is proclaimed in his re
fusal to pocket the money that was
almost thrust upon him.

Thursday of last week and the family
physician pronounced her ailInent TO
be pneumonia. She was conveyed to
