looking customer walked into the Clothing store
of Holmes g. Co., and when asked by the sales
man what he wanted, replied, nothing, only to
look 'reund and see where your best goods are,
as intend to break in here tonight and help
myself" This he repeated twice, but no notice
was taken of the matter, and the clerks retired
to bed as usual, only to find in the morning that
he had kept his word
The villains, there were several probably, broke
the lock of the back grating and entered by the
cellar They rfed the Cashiers draw of about
$3.50, and carried away about 800 worth of
nice clothing. Not content with this, they spit
tobacco juice into the draw among the nice vests
doing considerable damage, and committed sew
era other nuisances about the store. They
were undisturbed and took their own time. The
porters sleep in the third story and heard moth
ing of them. Dilligent search is being made for
the villains, and they will probably be discover
