WHOLESALE GROCERY
BURGLARIZED OF
CIGARETTES

Some time during Tuesday night
the Muskingum Valley Wholesale
Grocery was broken into, and sew
eral cartons, in all containing about
$4,000 cigarettes, were stolen. En-
trance was made by entering the
new garage building at the rear,
which is being built, and with a
mattock they jimmied a window,
and entered the room back Of the
office. They then pried open the
transom over the door leading to
the hall, along the side of the Of
fee, and unbolted the door.
The cigarettes were in the hall
way on the floor, and represented
loss of about $135. 1t so happened
that this was the smallest stock of
cigarettes that they have had on
hands for long time. So far as
can be learned nothing else was
taken from the Wholesale building,
or any other place about town. Of
ficials are working on a clew.
