nome OF E. c. Hardesty, court ste

middle of next month but he has
been notified of the robbery and
may come back to investigate.
State Detective Frank Meow in
vesgitated the robbery Thursday and
found the house had been ransacked.
The thieves, he believes, were anna
teurs and evidently knew the place
was empty because they broke a
window opening on the back porch
with a rock and unfastened the lock.
The thieves were evidently looking
Tor money as nothing of value was
taken except the Liberty bonds.
Mrs. Allen Heisler, a daughter.

the absence of the rest of the
family but has been returning to
Wilmington to spend the night. She
returned to the house Wednesday

FIRE AVERTED AT REHOBOTH
Attempt at Hotel Destruction Barely
Averted Wednesday Night.

A bold attempt to burn the busi-
ness section of Rehoboth Beach was
averted Wednesday of last week when
a guest of local hotel was awakened
about three o'5clock in the mornino
by the glare of the flames which had
just started in one corner of a build
ing occupied as a tailor shop. Her
screams brought help, and so quickly
that the fire was extinguished before
it had done much damage. Investiga-
tion disclosed the fact that shavinps
had been piled up one side of the
building and the sides soaked with
kerosene with strong wind blowing
from the northeast which Threatened
the whole plant. Detectives are WORK
ing on the case but have not tbe
slightest clue as to who made the at
tempt. Last year incendiaries burned
down the excursion house in an oil
most similar manner.
