 store. The bearing in the right rear wheel broke several days ago and the driver, c. w. Grahasn, has been un- able to have it repaired as yet. He expects to get under way in few days.
 The truck is bound for Boston with load of furniture and has been on the road for over two weeks.
 The truck is one of fleet of more than 200.
 The truck has suffered during its stay along the pike, several fixtures having been taken from it. One ad- venturous automobile driver bor- rowed a large quantity of the gasoline from the tank few nights ago and some men have even entered the truck in search of something to carry away.
 ; Last night the driver, who sleeps in the truck, was awakened by a terrific pounding on the outside, and when he asked wha; the persons wanted, he was told to come down. He grabbed the revolver which he carries for protection and answered the call. He was much relieved to find that the supposed hold-up men were some of his fellow workers, who, seeing the truck stalled, had stopped to find the reason fur it.
