through unlastened windows and the
authorities OF the several towns in

that i'm Seaford alone the thieves en-
tered at least 40 homes and business

been small. the thieves evidently being
chiefly after money and something
To eat. At two homes In Seaford they
passed up silverware and fine lingerie
worth $1,000 that they could have
easily taken. At home In Delmar
they took $50 in money. but nothing
else OF value was missing.
The thieves are not combining their

farmers also. Two hundred chickens
were taken from one farmer, as from
another, so from another and smaller
| quantities from others. At the VII
