BURGLARS FIN THE, FIRE

York, Pa, Nov. 2f.-Burglars who
ransacked the. home Of William A.
Allen, a York lawyer, last night, were
SO considerate as to replenish the
furnace fire which had nearly burn
ed out.
\ Allen discovered the robbery when
efr hurried home to fix the fire, and
found that somebody had tossed sew
-eral shovels full of coal on it. The
pay the burglars took for this serv-
ice, in Liberty Bonds, cash and silver
made the JOB expensive, even for this
day of high cost of labor.
