CHAS. ELKINS’ HOME RANSACKED BY ROBBERS

MILLTOWN, April 16.—Robberies seem to be becoming very popular in Milltown during the last few days. Day before yesterday, Miss Elizabeth Broadbent, the daughter of a well-known farmer of Dunham’s Corner, was the victim of a hold-up in South Milltown, (as stated in yesterday’s Home News,) in which she lost a pocketbook and the thief, a young man, made a clean getaway despite the efforts of a posse that pursued him through the woods until dark. At the same time, someone was busy in the Elkins home in North Milltown, as when Miss Margaret Elkins, daughter of Charles Elkins, of Elkins Lane, came home from a trip to New York, she found that her house had been ransacked from top to bottom.

Every room in the house, with the exception of one, had been visited by the intruder, but as far as can be learned, nothing is missing, but her mother’s wedding ring and an old revolver. Miss Elkins is of the opinion that the robbers were in the house when she came home.
