FENDIG’S DRUG STORE AT WHEATFIELD ROBBED

Entrance Forced to Front Door, Oa»h Register Taken to Depot and Olgars Stolen.

Simon Fendig’s drug store at Wheatfleld was robbed Wednesday night, probably after 1 o’clock, as the town marshal remained tip until that time. This Thursday morning the front door was found open and the lock broken. -The cash register was gone and it was later found at the C., I. & S. depot broken open. It contained only $1.37. One box of cigars and some whisky were missing. Presumably the burglars made their escape on a freight train. An effort was made to procure bloodhounds to track the robbers.
