SEMI-WEEI The Sensation in The Reported Burglaries Gr< Cause for the General Alar Increased as Matter of One Robbery and ; Hold-Up Thi A There is considerable uneasi- ly ne8s in Lancaster on account of coi the recent robberies and suppos- del ed attempted robberies ; but the ouj situation is greatly exaggerated, thi as a number of the incidents cur- on rently reported have upon inves- of I tigation proved to be either with- zei out foundation or tho tacts un- ass duly magnified.

The road ma- 1,e chine had just been taken from the Southern yards and was be ing taken to Grove I'ark for use t,tl( in constructing roads there. The P01 machine had been left on a very 0 heavy grade, being scotched tvl with some heavy blocks. The ln boy, it seems, knocked the scotch- Pn es out from.behind the machine, whereupon it started down the mc grade and caught the boy belore ^ lie could get out of its course. ^r' One of the wheels ran diagonally arr across the boy's body from his r,e right shoulder down to his left ,in hipj.
