Alderman William A Eimer seems to be in rather tough luck with the light fingered gentry the past week. His drug store at Eighth and Central Avenue, Newport, was entered after midnight Wednesday by the burglars prying open the side window to the store. The intruders were new in the business as they left over $50 in money and jewelry untouched.
Only a few nights ago in Cincinnati, Alderman Eimer was jostled at the rear end of a car and was robbed of a purse containing $25.
