STEALING WAS GN A |
SYSTEMATIC GIBER!
Ernert Resident Believe
Robbers Used Drug
Five homes were robbed in Ernest
early yesterday morning. It is re
ported that in one house alone over
$lOO in cash was taken, in other
houses thieves succeeded in securing j
jewelry of all kinds. The robberies
were reported to the Indiana authori
ties at once and .State police are said
to be working on the case.
The fact that none of these people
heard any noise and did not awake
uDtil about noon the next day wnich
is very unusual for them to do,
leads to the belief that drugs were
used to keep thein asleep.
A similar outrage took place in
Ernest nearly six months ago, when
out of two houses several trunks
were taken away, and later found in
the woods near Chambersville with
out any contents.

Titta Ruffo and M'Cormick
Not On ADGona, Friends Say
Chicago, Nov. 10—Reports that
Titta Ruffo, the famous baritone,
was a passenger on the Ancona,
were discredited today by his bro
ther, Ettore Ruffo, a teacher at the
Chicago Conservatory of Music,
who said the singer had not ex
pected to sail for America before
December.
It was also denied that Harold
F. McCormick of the Internation
al Harvester Company, was a pas
senger.
"We do not believe Mr. Mc-
Cormick has left Europe," one
Harvester official said, "because
he has invariably on former visits
preceded his sailing with a mes
sage advising us of the fact, giv
ing the name of the ship and the
date of its arrival. No such word
lias come."
