The thieves apparently came in through a window and took the money from the open drawer of the cash register. Constable Louis Ban- ta of Kingston Township is 1n charge of the case. The thieves did not enter the Trucksville Mill ad- joining the shop, nor did they take the $27 dollars of the Ben Johnson Fund that was in the shop. This was the fourth time in 15 years that Mr. Moore’s shop has been broken into, and the first time that Mr. Moore had insur- ance.

O. VanNess, executive secretary of the association.
