Several Robberies

Ypsilanti seems to be undergoing au infeotion of robberies at preseut. Last week a man carne down irom Belleville aud feil into the hands of the ungodly and wheu he woke tip in the moruing it didn't take a pencil and a whole sheet of paper for bhn to figure that he was out $50 and a gold watch. The polioe have several parties nnder surveilJanoe whom they suspect as having a hand in the job. Last Saturday Joseph Deunison, who had been working for Hadley Webb, in Pittsfield, this snmmer, oatoe into the city and brougbt with him about $35. He met an old "school friend' and the two bunked together that night. In the morning the school friend woke up flrst and wheu D-Dnuitson parted company with Morpheus he found he had been tonched tor the 35 aud a brand uew overooat. Mouday uight sorne novice who is lookiug for prison honors broke into J. H. Miller's store on the east side. Entrance was effeoted by the back way. The staple was broken off from the outside store-hoQse and the look to the baok door shattered. Mr. Miller does not kuow jast how niuch mouey was taken, biit the contents of two oash drawera and a oash register were appropriated. The drawers coutained only change, but hé thinks whuever did the job is betweeu $15 and $20 richer this moruing. Besides this cash, a quantity of cigars aud a box of pocket kuives were taken. It was evideutly doneby somebody who was aoquainted with the premises and Mr. Miller thinks he can lay his hauds on the perpetrator. One peculiar feature of the crime was the ease with whioh the burglar, or burglars, fooled themselves out of $100 in ash. Mr. Miller, when he left the store Monday night, closed the safe door bnt did not lock it. This morning the safe was fouud to be looked and the burglar had evidently turned the dial of the binatiou instead of the handle aud thus sluit hhnself off frotn seonring the oeutury of dollars that were contained in the safe. ■ Clark Cbamberlain wns arrested Tuesday moruiog for tbe burglary, but is nndoubtedly iunocent. His pareuts stand ready to swear that the young man tiudressed down stairs before 8 o'clock Monday night aud weuc up in the second story to sleep and did not leave the house uutil Tnesdny morning. The charge is graud larceny.
