two stems was placed at approx
mately, $1,000. However. this ap-
proyal carried the provision that a
special committee OF ive be ap-
pointed by President Larncr to go
more thoroughly into the total cost
involved, which includes new furni-
ture needed. library fixtures, light
ing, telephone. etc, etc, so that the

tai resources would be called upon
to pay $50. with an additional SIS

After going out through the rear base
meItt entrance the thieves trampled
around in the grass back of Il. j. Fen
toms store and attempted to make an
entrance there. Evidences of the break
were apparent by several pieces of putty
which had been knocked off one of the
windows. For some reason, the thieves
gave up attempting an entrance there.
probably because the time was at hand
when they We're to meet confederates,
who, it is thought, were waiting in an
automobile for those who actually COM
mitted the breaks.
Footprints were found in both direc-
tions on the bank leading down to the
railroad, and it is thought the thieves
made their way up the railroad to a
point where they met a motor cor. Foot
prints We're found leading up the bank
to the end Of Harris place, where an
automobile may have been lying in wait.
Another theory is that the thieves went
up the railroad as far as the three
bridges.
Another theory is that if the robbery
was committed by one person he would
have made his getaway by the early
morning southbound train. Inquiry was
made at the railroad station, and it was
learned that three tickets were sold for
this train, two for Springfield and one
for Greenfield. The people with the
Springfield tickets were recognized by
the agent, but the Greenfield party was
unknown. He was a man of medium
height, about 30 years old, was hatless
and wore green sweater. He came to
the ticket office by way of the over
pass about 4.10 in the morning and went
down TO the platform Immediately after
buying his ticket, even though he was
informed that the train was over an hour
late.
When the thieves entered the Hough-
ton 4 Simonds store they disturbed the
papers on the desks in the Office and
then went down to a window in the front
of the store. After pulling down the
curtain they removed two fur coats.

possible that they may have taken another

The breaks were definitely fixed as oc-

and o'clock. At that time, Mrs Fannie

was in her kitchen she thought she heard
