Store Robbed at McCoysburg.

Gwin & McDonald’s general store was broken into Saturday night, and more or less goods taken. Also S 3 or $4 in money. The thieves pried the door open with tools taken from the handcar house. They also took the handcar and loaded it with goods from the store, and ran down the track east of Lee, where the handcar was left. It was not known whether much goods was taken or not. It is supposed that residents of the vicinity did the job.
