Springfield note warns of house robbery plan
A note found on the roadside in Springfield references a plan to rob every house on a certain street. The Bible from Springfield Presbyterian Church was disturbed the night before. Authorities pursued two supposed culprits after a lengthy chase across fifty farms. An airship project in Pennington promises a July Fourth flight from Burlington to New York City, with a capitalized firm of ten million dollars and one million paid up. If successful, many scientific experts would be surprised.
