Attempt Made to Enter Springdsle
Store at Midnight.

Andrew J. Krimbill, bookkeeper for
Jeremiah Miller of Springdaie, and
Stewart Hinman. formerly of Norwslls
clerk In Mr. Miller's employ, surprised
a couple of burglars while they were
endeavoring to force an entrance to
Mr. Miller's store about midnight. and
fired a couple of loads of buchshot at
them. The burglars fled uninjured.

Mr. Miller carries a mlscelia ous
supply of goods in his store. His us-
Iness is quite heavy. and at times
there Is considerable money In the
place. Burglars have visited the
store once or twice. and to he‘prepar-
ed for future visits Mr, Miller pill in a
system of burglar-alarms some time
ago. One of the alarms is connected
with Mr. Krimblll‘s sleeping apart-
ment in the house next the store. on
the north. M precisely 11.46 last
night Mr. Krimhlll was awakened
from a sound sleep by the buzzing of
the burglar-alarm. He dressed hur
riedly and called Mr. liinman. The
two young men left the house cautious-
ly, each with a shot gun In his hand.
At the rear of the store is a dense
growth of bushes. Using this under-
brush for a screen. the clerks crept
toward the store. When they got with-
In seeing distance, they beheld the two
men trying to force the rear door. The
clerks fired at the men without delay.
and they then turned and tied at full
speed down the railroad tracks. The
clerks were unable to discover how
good had been their aim. for there was
nothing to ktdicste whether the burg-
lars had been hit. The speed with
which they travelled over the railroad
sleepers would indicate that they were
hide-whole. however. Mr. Krlmbill

Farmers and gardeners report that

ground to such a depth as to kill the
