High School Teacher Robbed of $47.

One of the Rensselaer high school teachers, Miss Mallory, had the misfortune to lose nearly SSO last week when going to the State Teachers’ Association meeting. She, with other teachers, left on the evening train Wednesday. Some of them left their traveling bags and suit cases in the lavatory of the day coacn, when getting on, as the car was quite crowded. Miss Mallory had SSO in cash and after buying her ticket she placed the purse in her traveling bag which was left with others in the lavatory. Perhaps some one had noticed her do this and watched where she put the bag in getting on the train. At anyrate, when about halfway to Indianapolis she thought of the purse and went to the bag, only to find that all the money had been taken except eighty cents in change. The loss of the money is a severe one tp Miss Mallory, as it would be to almost any teacher or any one for that matter.
