Last Saturday night a supposed burglar entered the home of Mr. and Mrs. R. P. MoElwain on Elm St., but was soared out without taking anything but Mrs. MoElwain was badly frightened. Mr. McElwain was not at home when the burglar entered the bouse.

The burglar however did not answer and made his exit. Mr. McElwain came home and found his wife and Mrs. Thias terribly frightened and afraid to enter the house. In company with Mr. Watkina, supt. of the R. J. A R. shoe factory, searohed for the burglar but he was the only thing missing. Investigation revealed the faot that the burglar had entered through a window and made his exit the bame way. This sort of thing has been going on for some time and several homes have been entered during the past few weeks and it is probably the same Derson.
