 When MT. Proulx closed his place of business at eleven Monday night he made the rounds of the building and. saw that everything was locked up safely. Tuesday morning at about seven o'clock Victor Fountaine. ern- ployed at the saloon opened up for the day and upon opening the register found that it's contents had been stolen.
 Mr.. Preu1x stated Tuesday evening that from all appearance the person or persons. who entered the building were well acquainted with it's interior. Entry had been made by entering the cellar and prying up a loose board fin the floor. The register had then been ri1ed and carefully closed. The bur glars had then taken the key to the back door. which was hung on a nail on the partition. unlocked the door and made their getaway, leaving no trace behind.
 MT. Proulx had been in the habit of leaving small amount of money in the register but Tuesday night had left S65 in the drawer. This. and the manner in which the entry and exit had been accomplished led him to be- lieve that some rerson we'll acquainted with the building made the break. The robbery has not been reported to the local police.
