forth over the world in the last six
years. Rhythm and musical vibrations

SHOP WINDOWS
ARE BROKEN
Joseph BalOk Finds All the
Windows of His Shoe
Shop Smashed.
MAY BE spite WORK"

Joseph Balok, the cobbler, who for
many years has operated the shoe shop
in the little brick shanty at 800 Main
street, had mystery Of his own to
solve when he reached his shop this
morning. Every window in the shop
had been broken, it appearing as if
someone had taken grim delight in
hurting bricks through the glass panes
of the windows. Outside of the pieces
of broken glass scattered throughout
the room, there was no sign that the
vandals had done anything else.
Whoever did the job, was intent on
doing it completely. After sailing the
bricks through the two front windows
of the shop, went around to the rear
and broke the glass in the window
next to the work bench of the shoe
maker.
Reported Early This Morning.
When Balok reported the matter to
the police, he found that the official
already knew of the trouble. Early
this morning a pedestrian had made a
report to the police Office and two pa
trolmen rad made an investigation but
could find nothing which might lead
to the identity of the persons who
broke the windows.
1t is believed that it must have been
done between one and two o'clock this
morning although the policeman on the
beat saw nothing of the episode during
that hour. This morning Balok went
back to work among the ruins, intent
on getting out the repair work which
he had promised for the day.
Intended to Move Soon.
The episode may speed Balok in his
moving plans. His lease for the build
ing had expired se-eral days ago but
he had made arrangements to stay
there until Monday before moving to
his new quarters on Wisconsin street.
The depredations will not be of much
damage since the building is to be
wrecked Immediately.
Balok was not certain this morning
but that several pairs of shoes which
were being repaired at the shop had
been taken by whoever broke into the
shop. This robbery theory, however,
is not believed by the police, who
characterized the work as "spite work"
