HAWKINS SALOON ENTERED AND ROBBED.
Some time during Tuesday night the coffee
house Of Johnny Hawkins, at the corner Of
Common street and Theatre alley, was en-
tered by burglars from the rear Of the
premises and the money drawer robbed of
about three hundred dollars in currency.
An attempt was made to break open the
iron safe, but the burglars failed in their
object. Some silver-plated ware was broken,
evidently with the purpose Of ascertaining
# it was made of genuine material.
