Filling Station Robbed
Entrance Made After Window
Was Smashed With Brick

The Sinclair Filling Station, locat-
ed at the corner of Main and Wal
nut streets, in this town, and oper-
ated by Lewis Garvin, was entered
Sunday night, or early Monday
morning by parties unknown, and
the only clew they left was a
blanket
This blanket, it seems, played an
important part in the robbery, as in
it was evidently wrapped a brick
with which pane of glass was
broken out of window on the east
side of the building, the blanket
deadening the noise.
The pane of glass was directly
over the window fastening, enabling
the robbers to unfasten the catch and
make easy entrance after the pane
was broken out.
When the filling station was open
ed for business early Monday morn
by the attendant, Samuel Keim, and
the broken window discovered, Mr..
Garvin was called, and he made a
cheack-up, which revealed seven
tires, four batteries, box of cigars
and flashlight had been stolen. The
cash register had been opened and
about forty pennies, all the money
that was in 1t, taken.
A careful search failed to reveal
any clews left, except the blanket.
Mr.. Garvin places his loss at about
$4,000.
