RIALTO SODA SHOP RIFLED BY THIEVES
Robbers Take S150 From Register
 UnbeknoWn to Night Patrolman MRS. SPENCER BADLY HURT
Grange Elects Officers-S50 Total Re- ported in Red Cross Dri,e-Ncw Is- sue of Treasur, Savings Certificates --PIainyille Briefs.

Some time last evening, thieves af. fectel an entrance into the Rialto Soda Shop and rified the cash register securing about s15o in cash and four checks. The robbery was committed in the early hours of the morning without the night patrolman, Consta. ble F.. w. Furrey, being aware that crime was being carried out. John Pettinato, proprietor of the place sum moned Officer Andrew ]. Hogan this morning and later called the state po- lice into the case.
 Mir. Pcttinato discovered his loss this morning upon opening up his place of business. He found the cash register opened up. with the no sale key damned down. 4 batch Of letters and correspondence which was left over the keys had been removed and in it's place, six one dollar bills, laid neatly across the surface Of the reg ister A nasty inventory was taken of the place and Mr. Pettinato stated this morning that he would probab find that some cigars and cigarettes had been taken.
 h'lil ahSC was Hldu' tHiOHEH d rear cellar door. Of the old hatchway type. A bolt had been used to lock tho two wings together and part of this had heen pried open. An inner door, lead ing into the cellar proper had also been forced and from there, the thieves proceeded into the store up- stairs where the cash was left in the drawers of the register.
 The store is located in the Odd Eel lows block on West Main street just across the tracks from the center and is in one Of the most conspicuous places in the town.
 Large plate glass windows have been set in both the front and side front and the rified register is about ten feet inside behind the soda coun- ter. Anyone tampering with it could have been easily seen from the out side but the robbers were able to ac- complish their purpose unmolestcd.
 Upon discovery Of the break this morning Mir. Pcttinato summoned or ficer Hogan. The local policeman in- Ncstigated the store carefully and found flngerprints on the cash regis. ter. He called in the state police and a finger print expert was detailed on the case. Suspicion points to a stranger who was seen in town last evening who paid visit 10 tho candy shop.

not warrant capacity production
until much later than this year.
