GEISTOWN ROBBED Intruders Force Window; Take Merchandise and Postoffice Receipts The general merchandizing store of Harry Grush, at Geistown, was broken into early Sunday morning and stock, including cigars, cigarets [sic] and automobile tires, valued at $250, was taken by the intruders. A money drawer containing $70 in postal receipts was also taken, but a large quantity of postage stamps were untouched. Entrance was gained by forcing a window at the rear of the store. An automobile is believed to have been used by the intruders as the automobile tires taken away would have been too heavy to carry for any distance. Mr. Grush reported that he closed the store at 12:15 o'clock Saturday night and when he returned to the store Sunday morning noticed the open window at the rear of the store. The only clue left was a large screw driver. The robbery of the Geistown store was the second within the past two months. About two months ago entrance was gained in a similar manner and $30 to $50 in merchandise was taken. The robbers on that occasion contented themselves with taking candy and toilet articles and leaving more valuable merchandize [sic] untouched. Mr. Grush was also held up near his home, which is about a mile from the store, after he had closed up on the night of May 27. Postmaster W. W. Davis was informed this morning of the robbery of the postal receipts and the U. S. Postal Inspector, H. S. MacMinn, will conduct an investigation.   21 Sep 1921 Submitted by Lynne Canterbury.

Gable, Managing Secretary of the Chamber of Commerce.

The Dale officials are attacking the act on constitutional grounds. The Lebanon Chamber of Commerce informed Mr. Gable today that they were greatly concerned over the outcome of the case, having before them an extensive annexation program that they fear would suffer if it could not be pushed through at present.   22 Sep 1921 Submitted by Lynne Canterbury FUNERAL OF GERALD HORNER.

Hess' Auto Plunges Over Embankment; Tire Saves Drop to Railroad Mr. and Mrs. Harold W. Hess and their son, of 204 1/2 Hickory street, Seventh Ward, and two other persons, whose names could bot be learned, had a miraculous escape from serious injury between 5 and 6 o'clock last evening, when a touring automobile in which they were riding went down a 15-foot embankment while en route to Johnstown. The accident occurred at the foot of the Quemahoning Hill, between Somerset and Sipesville. It is said that something went wrong with the steering apparatus, causing the machine to make a sharp turn to the right side of the road and plunge down the embankment. At the point where the accident occurred there are two embankments, the first being a drop of about 15 feet, while the lower on, is about 40 feet onto the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad tracks. That the car did not plunge down the lower embankment was due to the fact that one of the front tires came off and caused the machine to stop. The auto was pulled back up onto the road by a truck from Friedline's garage at Shanksville. The members of the Hess arty were brought to Johnstown in the automobile of Ernest Kuhs, of Near Somerset, with whom the Johnstowners had been visiting. None of the members of the Hess party was injured.   8 Dec 1921 Submitted By Lynne Canterbury   CHRISTMAS RECEPTION AT BUSER SILK PLANT Committees Arrange for Delightful Affair to be Held Next Week The annual Christmas reception and dance of the Buser Silk Company, Inc., will be held in the reception room of the local plant Thursday evening, December 15, at 8:30 o'clock.
