Evening Republican, Volume 20, Number 43, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 19 February 1916 — Thieves Leave Sacred Records. [ARTICLE]
Thieves Leave Sacred Records.
All but three of the 75 talking-ma-chine records of the Birdsboro High school were stolen by a thief, who forced an entrance into the building, turned on a light and tried out all the records, it is believed. Thuml* marks on the three Ijßft behind showed they were tested too. The selections rejected were “Lead Kindly Light.” “Jesus, Lover of My Soul” and "Nearer, My God to Thee.” Most of the records stolen were ragtime and marches. —Reading Dispatch to Philadelphia North American.
