Vandals Visit Rittiger Home During Early Hours of Tuesday.
NO CLUE TO GUILTY PARTY
Despite the fact that a veil of sadness has been cast over the town of Canonsburg owing to the recent disaster in which 26 lives were trampled out, vandals have been following in the wake and this morning during the early hours the crepe on the Rittiger home was stolen. No trace of the vandals has been secured although the case has been reported of the local officers.
It is thought that the crepe was taken by some person who was seen about the premises during the night. This person was asked by people who were at the Rittiger home what they wanted but they could not give a satisfactory answer and were ordered away. It was soon after this occurrence that the crepe was missed.
Sidney Rittiger, one of the victims of Saturday night's catastrophe, was buried this morning, the services in charge of the Rev. Mr. Loomis of the First Baptist church.
No cause could be given why any person would take the crepe upon such an occasion as this and if the guilty person is found he will be dealt with severely.
