Ref: Town and Country Newspaper Pennsburg, Montgomery County, PA Saturday - May 6, 1905 BAKER IN PREDICAMENT Charles KRAUSS, one of the teamsters for baker Edwin E. MILLER, of Pennsburg, had a series of misfortune on Tuesday afternoon while going over his route in the vicinity of Hosensack. One of his horses was taken sick on the road and could not be taken any further. He secured the services of Veterinary Surgeon KRUGER, of Zionsville, who lived about a mile from where the horse lay, and he also loaned one of Mr. KRUGER's horses to continue the route and return to Pennsburg and the sick horse was moved to the stable of Dr. KRUGER where he is under treatment. After continuing on the trip the strange horse could not agree and started to fight with each other and started to run away. Mr. KRAUSS could not get them under control and while going down a hill near the Nathan SCHULTZ farm near Palm Dr. KRUGER's horse dropped over dead. The sudden stop of the runaway team caused Mr. KRAUSS to be jolted through the glass window in the front of the wagon out in the gutter. As soon as Mr. KRAUSS saw the predicament he was in he yelled at the top of his voice and members of the SCHULTZ family responded. The accident happened at dusk and after securing another horse from Mr. SCHULTZ he was able to return to Pennsburg. The horse that died, ruptured a blood vessel and when young KRAUSS saw him after he was thrown out he found him bleeding from the nose. The accident was a peculiar one and it is a hard blow on Mr. MILLER for he only recently started the business and to loose a horse in this manner is very discouraging. SERVICES AT THE SEMINARY Rev.

PENNSBURG RESTAURANT ROBBED BY THIEVES The restaurant of Henry STAHSEL, situate on Main Street, Pennsburg, was on Thursday night entered by thieves and robbed of cigars and chewing gum. The thieves broke a window pane in the rear of the building reached inside and opened the window. After they entered they lit the gasoline lamp which Mr. STAHSEL has above his counters and searched the place. The money drawer was opened with a pocketknife for the woodwork around the lock was cut away in small bits. This was emptied of the small change which was usually left in all night. About 150 cigars, several boxes of chewing gum, a number of hard boiled eggs, several boxes of figs and other minor articles were carried away. The thieves left without extinguishing the light and the supposition is that the robbery was committed by someone familiar with the place or with gasoline lamps, for in order to light this lamp the burner must previously be heated and if this is not done it cannot be lit. This is the third robbery committed in this restaurant during the past five years and it is quite likely that they were done by same parties. The thieves left their pocketknife in the place and this may aid in finding the thieves.
