THIEVES STEAL FIRE ARMS AT EMAUS A gang of clever thieves visited H.W. JARRETT's hardware store at Emaus Monday night, and got away with a big load of booty. The thieves cut out one of the big panes in the front door, crawled into the store through the opening and after passing the plunder through, crawled out the same way, lest they possibly set off a burglar alarm. They stole eight breechloaders, six revolvers, two gold-filled watches and several dollars in cash from the drawer. Although Mr. JARRETT slept overhead he heard nothing and didn't discover the theft until he got up Tuesday morning. Neither policeman nor the watchman noticed anything suspicious during the night. FRACTIOUS HORSE RENDERS MAN UNCONSCIOUS James WEISS, of Corning, met with an accident on Saturday morning.
