The Semi-Weekly New Era from Lancaster, Pennsylvania (2024)

THE NEW ERA LANCASTER, SATURDAY. JUNE 9, 1906: ft SERIOUS TROLLEY ACCIDENT. BUSINESS PLACES ROBBED. COUNTY SCHOOL BOARDS EFFECT REORGANIZATION FOR THE YEAR Boroughs and Townships Prepare for the Work of the Coming Term. Teachers Elected and the Tax Rates Fixed.

5 Two Real Estate Offices Robbed of Cash and Postage Stamps. The offices of Widmyer Prangley and Z. Rhoads, at No. 6 West King street, were robbed Tuesday night. The offices communicate, and after one is entered there is nothing to prevent a person walking into the other office.

The first named firm was robbed of between $30 and $40 and some postage stamps, taken from a drawer, and Mr. Rhoads lost about $25 and a few stamps, also taken from a drawer, evidently by somebody acquainted with the premises. There is good reason for believing that the thief was concealed under a stairway when the offices were closed on Tuesday evening, and that he easily escaped by unlocking a rear door, the key of which was in the lock, and walking away. As the money drawers were open it was easy to get the cash. No clues were left behind.

The car, in charge of Conductor Himel-wright and Motorman PeKrs, was run-ning slow, in order to allow a passenger to alight at the crossing at the Nevin fountain, which is not far from Ruby street.

A wheel of the carriage was knocked off and the ladies thrown into the street. Mrs. C.
