CHINESE LAUNDRY
IS ROBBED OF $53;;
|. WINDOW IS OPENED
Wing Sing Laundry at Third and
Limestone Street Entered By
Thieves and Hidden Roll Of
Bills Is Taken.

The Wing Sing Chinese Laundry at
the corner Of Limestone and Third
street was robbed sometime between
Tuesday evening and Friday morning.
The robbery was not discovered un-
til this morning when Wing Sing, the
laundryman, went to his hiding
place to get money with which to
pay bill which had been presented.
1t was then he found the money miss
ing and notified the police
Investigations by the police dis
closed that the thief or thieves enter
the Chinese laundry by climbing onto
the wooden awning in front of the
building and climbing from that avn
ing into window in the second story
Of the building The parties then came
down the stairway, through the China
mans sleeping quarters and into the
front of the laundry where the money
was hidden under a table.
The last time he had seen the money
was on Tuesday night, Wing told Chief
Ort. At about 1870 o'clock Tuesday
night, he counted the money and hid
1t between two rolls of wrapping pa
per under a table in the front room.
There was $53, in bills, he says. 1t Is
thought by the officers that someone
on the outside of the building watched
the Chinaman count and hide the
money and after he had retired, made
their entrance and escaped with the
funds. The thief evidently left the
building the same way he entered 1t,
the front door being locked from the
inside every morning, the Chinaman
said.
This laundry is in the same immedi-
ate neighborhood as the Phillips Meat
Market, whose safe was blown few
days ago.

BUILDING ASSOCIATION CASES
TAKEN UNDER AMUSEMENT
Cases Involving Debtors OF Ripley
Build Association Are Heard
At Georgetown.

Georgetown, Ohio, April 22. - Mon
day the Common Pleas Court was oc-
cupied by a hearing brought by Cham
bers Baird, as receiver for the Peo-
Pies Building and Loan Company, OF
Ripley, against Lamartine Lodge,
Number 11S, I. o. o. F., of Ripley. This
action grew out of loan which the
lodge had been granted through the
loan company. The receiver made
statement before the court that there
was no records to show various pay
ments which made, by receipts held
by the lodge. Upon the day that L.
". Williams was arrested as secre-
tary Of the company, evidence was
shown Of credit being acknowledged
which the records of the building
company do not show. The lodge holds
receipts which indicate that the amount
of its loan now is 500. At the con-
cluslon of the hearing Judge Steven
son took the case under advisement.
Last week Judge Clevenger heard
another action brought by the receiv-
er for the loan company, which
named W. A. and Ida Williamson de-
PENDANTS. The evidence offered showed
that the defendants had taken out
shares in the company, later pur-
chased more land and taken out more
shares. Payment had been made upon
this loan until a final settlement was
reached. This amounted to $S7 and a
fraction. Williamson gave a check,
which L. V. Williams, as secretary,
never cashed, but took the mortgage
and loan and pledged same upon per-
sonal debt. Williamson's attorneys Of
fered money orders and checks as evil
dence of payment. Judge Clevenger
also took this action under advise
ment.
