BEDDING

Bedding, Feb. 5-Footprints in the snow made by one man showed the course taken by the burglar who re- gently broke into three unoccupied houses on the Ridge. The tracks be- gan at the John Muennich house where no entrance was made as It could be seen through the uncurtalned windows that the place was bare Of movables. Thence the trail led to the summer home of F. L. Dunnel, few rods distant, and from there to the house owned by Misses Woolworth and Burckett. and to the nearby house of Mrs. J. w. Teets. At each house entrance was gained by forcing open window of the ground floor. At the Teets house a blind had also been pried open and a pane of glass cut out to give access to the window fastening. Conditions within the three houses showed a thorough ransacking pro" cess, drawers of all the bureaus being pulled open and the contents scattered about MT Dunnel1, the only owner who came from New York to make an examination, found that there were missing two bottles containing liquids banned by the Eighteenth Amend ment, but apparently no other losses. There, as at the other places, plated ware had been handled and left be- hind and it would seem that the raider took away very little spoil. No cigar cite butts were left as there had been at Nthe L. o. Peck burglary and no clues of any sort to aid in detecting the offender.
 Deputy Sheriff Banks, who made a thorough inspection of all the prem ises, believes that the job was not the work of a professional, but more prob ably that of home talent or of some one living not far beyond the town limits. The Mabrey and Shelton cot tages at the Ridge are also vacant, but were not entered. One section of the te1ltale footprints was first noticed q week ago last Sunday although the burglaries were not discovered until Monday of this week.
 The vestry of Christ Episcopal parish, at meeting following the services last Sunday, unanimously passed a resolution giving hearty en- dorsement to the county missionary plan and to the course taken in con- nection herewith by Rev. MT. Gun ningham. By another resolution the vestry's action of last fall in accept ing Mr. Cunningham's resignation as rector was resciVded and his continu- ance in his present position favored. These resolutions wilt be the subject of a referendum vote by the parish on Feb. IS. although the sanction thus sought is not necessary to make the vestry's action effective.
 In his sermon, MT. Cunningham, who is the Archdeaconry's missionary appointee, reviewed the entire sub ject. He said the work contemplated by the new departure had become a necessity in which the initiative had fallen to the lot of this parish which should regard it as a privilege to as sume the new responsibilities. Other parishes would doubtless fall into line in helping on this form of church ex- tension work As to his own relation ship to the cause he urged that this parish view the matter in an imper- sona1 way. regarding only the best methods of accomplishing the desir- able objects sought for.
