A maximum of road rights is conceded to truck drivers facing diff ficulties in handling the heavy vehi- cles, but they have no exclusive rights in the highways. as many drivers oi them seem to assume.

For five years E. A. Schiller has
had two quarts of whiskey in his pos
| session. Last night the two bottles
were stolen by three thieves with an
eye for liquor curios and a nose for

shows that not until after the ma
rauders had searched the garnet to
which they made entrance by a trap
door. and peeped into every nook and
Granny in the house, did they find the
whiskey. 1t was standing on a shelf
in an obscure corner of the Schiller
cellar.
Mr.. and Mrs. Schiller left the
house early in. the evening to go call
| ing, while Mrs. Annie Hunt, Mrs
Schiffler's mother. went to church.
She returned at about $40 p. m. and
entered the house by the kitchen door.
which she found wide open. After
turning on the light Mrs. Hunt noticed
that the door of the cellar which is
on the ground floor, was open. She
stepped into the cellar and saw man.
who turned a flashlight upon her and
ordered her into another room. Later
she heard the burglar leave the house.
Mrs Hunt says that besides the man
she saw in the house, she saw two
men jump over the back fence. She
describes one of the men as tall and
thin while the other two were OF me-
dunn size.
