posed annex, to be used for the pur-
pose of enlarging the laundry. at the

BURGLARS MAKE HAUL
At RACKLIFFE YARDS
Take Merchandise Valued at 81 900
At Park Street Business House
Saturday Night

Sometime between the close of
Saturday nights business and Sum-
day afternoon at 4 O'Clock an en-
trance was forced at the yards Of
Rackliffe Bros. on Park street.
From the partial check up that has
been made, the bulk Of the loss is
made up OF steel wire fence, and
rubberoid roofing estimated close to
$1,000 in value.
The discovery was made by l.. ".
Vogel of Rackliffe Bros, who found
the gates open and a broken lock
as the first hint Of any wrong doing.
The police were notified and
Officer Grabeck and Lasvicius ac-
companied Mr.. Vogel in. more
complete investigation. They found
the cellar door of the roofing de-
partment wide open and every light
burning. From indications. the
burglary was a leisurely affair as
no evidence Of haste was apparent.
A detailed list Of the material
missing is being compiled for the
police, and several good clues are
being pursued.
Though thefts have been reported
in the past, this is by far the most
serious, and special precautions are
being taken by Rackliffe Bros. to
eliminate this evil.

At Church TODAY

FleeS Second Ceremony

Suffield. Conn. June R-With
guests and attendants gathered at
the church for her wedding today.
the disappearance of Miss Mary
kowalczyk, who was to have be-
come the bride Of Thomas kocelin-

occurrence is the less easily ex-
planned inasmuch as the couple were
married by justice of the peace
ten days ago. Friends, however,
believed a church ceremony should
take place and accordingly it was
set for today. The wedding music
had started before it was discovered
the II years old bride had not APP
peared. kocelinous made a hurried
trip to her home and in her room
found note which asked him and
her friends not to seek her but TO
forgive and forget her.
The local police authorities I'M
meditely sent word to the police OF
nearby places asking them to look
for the missing bride.
