Disgusting Journalism.
On Friday last we published an ex-
‘tract from the Bridgeport Telegram,
«which said that in every community
ithere is generally a journal that makes
:a specialty .of Sensational scandals and
.gloats upon such carrion. The truth of
i this statement was fully verified on
"Saturday by a load journal in the pub-
lication of the story of the arrest of a
drunken father. ‘ ‘
The story was not only faked but was
' written in the most disgusting and sen-
:‘sational vein and in a manner that
' should have excluded that paper from
the home of every decent citizen, f
. perchance a copy ever retches one.

THEY LIKED CHEESE.
A. W. Chiches—t—erjs Store [at
Whistleville, Burglarized.
. Attempted to Break Open a Safe.
Burglars secured an entrance into A.
W. Chichestei’s Store on Bouton street,
at Whistleville,’ bet-Ween l2 and (5
o’clock Sunday morning.
The first intimation the police had of
the burglary was when Mr. 'Chichester
advise d them about 6 30 o’clock that his .
store had been entered by thieves, and
an attempt made to break open the safe.
Chief Vollmer accompanied him back
to the store and found that the front
door had been pried open with a chisel.
Further investgiation showed that
the burglars had smashed the lock on
the money drawer and had secured $1
in pennies and a few dollars in bills.
They had helped themselves to pie,
canned goods and a few pounds of
cheese.
In a small room in close juxtaposition
to the store was the safe. The burglars
had succeeded in drilling two holes in
the same, one of which they filled with
explosives and tired ofl‘lwith the :result
that only the upper portion of the safe
was blown off, and they were unable to
complete their work, being, as is sup-
posed, frightened away.
The work was evidently that of ama—
teur burglars, they having done the
drilling in the safe at a part that would
not meet with the success that would
have been a sure thing with a profes-
sional. Butxeven had they gained en-
trance to the safe they Would have had
their trouble for naught, as there was
nothing of value in it.
The burglars left a jimmy, a brace
and a bit, a heavy hammer; a few
Wedges, and an open door as evidence
of their intention to make a big haul.
