The Austin=Snedikef dry goods store was
entered sometime Sunday night but evil
IDENTIFY the Intruder was. frightened off be-
fore he had chance to make away with
anything, as nothing has been missed;
Snediker, who saw the rear door or the
store open as he passed on his way to Sun
found thst Widow in the Fear Of the
store had been broken and entrance gained
thru it. A pile of dry. goods and clothing
was found in the middle of the floor ready
for removal.
The regular meeting of the North Topeka
Civic club will be held Tuesday evening
at the Community House, corner of Laurent
and Jackson streets.
Last spring while the Church of the Good
Shepherd, Episcopal, corner of Quincy and
Laurent streets, was unlocked, some one
entered and removed from the altar two
brass eucharistic candlestieks and two
brass three branch yesper candlesticks,
leaving other brasses, including the cross,
unmo lested.
The missing brasses were thought by
some of the members of the church to have
been stolen, but others argued that in that
case the heavier and larger pieces would
have been taken. The matter was not re-
! ported to the police and but little effort
In preparing the church for the Christ
mas morning service the decorations used
last year were taken firm on top of high
closet in the yestry, and on their removal
the brasses were found on the shelf, where
they had been hidden after being taken
from the altar.
What the object OF their removal was is
question. One theory is that they were
removed and seereted by persons opposed
were hidden rs joke, altho such an action
would indicate a perverted sense of humor
on the part of the transgfessor, and a de-
| plofable lack of reverence.
