TOUCHED THE TILL
LOCAL BUSINESS HOUSE SUF-
FERs LOSS OF CASH.

A local business house was recently
robbed Of $4,000 cash, taken from
the till, slick and clean, without
trace of thief or knowledge of the
act
A customer paid for bill OF goods
with fifteen, twenty dollars bills,
which were placed in the cash drawer
in bundle. At the noon hour the
business Office CHANGED to be left
alone for few moments while the
one in charge went into the back
room, taking advantage Of the fact
that no one was in the store at the
moment. A customer entered to
make a purchase. Going to the cash
register to deposit the amount of the
goods, the theft of the currency was
discovered by the proprietor.
To all appearances the money had
vanished, as to the almost certain
knowledge of the parties in charge
Of the store, no one had been near
the business Office between the time
the money was taken in and the dis
covery Of the loss.

BOCHE CAPTURED BY YANKEES
is Said to Have Very Large Hand As
Well AS Large Appetite.
(By Fred s. Ferguson.l


With the American Army on the
Lorraine Front, April.-"How is the
orderly coming along bathing the
German pri5bner?" asked the captain
at certain Field Hospital of the SER
geant.
He started washing his right hand
at six O'Clock, sir. It's now seven, and
he's only half way round" came the
reply.
The captain laughed. For it's the
talk of the hospital that the young
Boche. who was captured out OF
shell hole when the Germans were
beaten back on an attempted raid, has
the largest hand seen around these
parts in the memory of the oldest
American inhabtant.
The young Boche, too, is what the
sergeant calls slick" He was badly
frightened on first arriving at the
hospital, especially when taken to the
operating room. When his breakfast
was brought to him. he refused to eat
at first. He was finally persuaded to
drink his coffee, and having done that
and found that he still lived, he fin
ished the breakfast.
Later, another orderly came along
and asked If he had had his breakfast
The prisoner answered, mo, and ate
the second one when ii arrived.

Washington ID. c., April 15.-Fol-

May Be Sub Victim.
The presence of a mysterious raid
er or submarine in the West Atlantic
may account for the disappearance
of the American collier Cyclops. The
ship has been unheard of since
March 4, and with the thought that
heretofore there has been no subma.

pesrance apparently still remains in
the dark
Loss Remains Mystery.
"The whole thing is an enigma,
said a naval official today, "and one
theory apparently will account for il
as well as another.
"Our information as to subma
rine. while rather negative, apparent
ly may account for it, but a U-boat
was not responsible"
Ship Is Long Overdue.
Washington, d. c., April 15.7-The
big American naval collier, Cyclops
carrying 81 passengers, Is officers ant
221 in it's crew, has been overdue al
an Atlantic port since March 13. The
navy department announced that the
ship was last reported at West
Indies island March 4. and that ey
treme anxiety is entertained as to it,
safety. The vessel was bringing !;
cargo of manganese from Brazil
Alfred J.. Moreau Gottschalk, Unit

The Cyclops left the West Tndie'
with one OF her two engines dam

fact would not have prevented heI
from communicating by radio and al
efforts to reach her by that mean
have been unsuccessful. A thor
ugh search of the course which She

Engine Was Injured.
ut was known that one Of the tw;
Hngins OF the Cyclops was injured
and that she was proceeding at re
duced speed with one engine com
pounded This fact would have nc
effect on her ability to communicate
by radio, for even if the main engine
were totally disabled, the ship woul(
still be capable of using her radio
plant.
THE search for the Cyclops still
continues, but the navy department
feels extremely anxious as to hel
