North Hiversldc, was the only loot ttecured however, according to tho police. Arthur Miller, 1 fl-y ear-old gram mar school student, was held up at 8:45 on Fifth street near the Ha mum apartment bouse by two young and woll dressed men. one of whom, ac cording to Miller, slapped his face for having no money. Tho youth Huld he was followed by the men for a short distance before they hailed him to search his pockets. He attempted to obtain a description but because of the darkness was unablo to do so. Not waiting to notify the police once, he hurried home to inform his parents. Lamport's Sporting floods store, Xilttrell-Jennlngs Parts company and tho Medfoi'd Auto Wrecking company each reported a burglary. At tho, first two establishments tho cash regis ters, pven though empty of money, were tampered with. By breaking the lock off the rear floor of the Jamport establishment and sliding a wooden bar painstak ingly from its fastenings, the burglars entered the storeroom. The drawer of one cash register was left open while the other was shut but not locked. Noticing keys, it Is pre sumed, the burglars inserted them In the lock and stead of opening same locked it. No money was taken and nothing was disturbed. A pass key allowed entrance Into the accessory store, according to IS. A. l-lltrell. who states that a pair of shears were then used in a vain attempt to Jlmmfe tho cash register .while the keys were lying on top. He believes the burg Mrs had little or no knowledge of their profession. There was no loss. A back door was broken down to enter the wrecking house nnd exit was made through tho front doors, which were found open this morning. During thi Interim of entrnnce and exit, a spotlight and soveral tools, found missing today, nro believed to have been token. Desplto the fact (hat the lights were burning In Lamport's, the bur glars plied their trado there appar ently without molestation. It Is a roquest of tho police that nil business establishments keep a light burning through the night near the entrance and likewise local residents ore advised to keep lights burning on front nnd rear porches. and about five minutes later Jtobert Htrang was seen running even faster west on Main street and north on Holly street. Two citizens at tho corner of tho abovo named intersections, mildly In terested when they saw Herbert run ning, grew somewhat excited with cu riosity when the second bootery mer chant came hotfoooting along In the opposite direction. "Wonder s'matter with the Strang boys," finally remarked the first citi zen to his companion. "Dunno," responded tho other man. "Mebby their father hist a rummy game at tho Klku club last evening." 'Nav, It can't be that, else I'd hoard the fire whistle blow. Must bo running a left handed relay rarfV' Tho excitement was occasioned by tho fact that both shoe merchants aro ardent football fans and could not leavo their store Saturday afternoon to sec the football game, but by agree ment Herb was to see the first half and llob the second half.
