ROBBERS CHASED
AT ENOLA HOMES
Six Attempts to Enter Dwell
ings in Town During
Saturday Night

Enola, Pa. Oct. 22.-Citizens of
Enola are up in arms about the nu-
merous attempts at robbery over the
weekend. Saturday night no less
than six attempts were made to en-
ter various homes in different sec
tions of the town, but at only one
place did the thieves succeed In get
ting away with any booty. A gold
watch and ring were stolen from the
home of the Rev. NJ. S. Sharp, pastor
of the Zion Lutheran Church. The
Rev. Mr.. Sharp chased the thieves
for a block but was unable to over
take them. At the home of Oscar
Vogelsong in Brick Church road, the
robbers were chased out of the house
before they had time to get any loot.
The robbing is evidently being
done by band of persons as all the
attempts were made at about the
same time at night and in widely
scattered parts of the town. Con-
stable Sweeney will take measures
to round up the guilty persons.
