Former Rensselaer Minister’s Home Robbed at Delphi.

Between 7:30 and 8:20 o’clock last Sunday evening, the Methodist parsonage was entered by a thief and the morning church and Sunday school collection stolen from Rev. Harper’s desk. The intruder made his way into the house through the kitchen window and his exit through the door, leaving both wide open. He also .took a book containing some old paper money, which was of valuer only as a relic. A null of clothes belonging to the pastor was taken, also some small change and several rings belonging to Esther and Mary Harper. Every dresser drawer in the upstairs had been overturned, but evidently money was all that was wanted. Rev. Harper Is of the opinion that the robbery was committed by foreign talent. Tne tracks In the yard were those of a man with large sized feet.—Carroll County Citizen-Times.
