TAKEN At:
ONE STORE

trance Is Gained With
Stolen Tools.

Two robberies and two attempt.
ed robberies today were attributed

A few minutes later the black

away.
Stops at Rosslyn.
The next stop Of the yeggmen,
thought to have been travelling in an
automobile, was Rosslyn, Va, where
an attempt was made to blow open
the safe of the Sanitary Grocery
Store. The thieves were frightened
away and nothing was stolen. AS
they left the store, Robert Melting,
of Fort Myer. Va, shot at them
twice and they returned the fire.
