Special Dtkpatch to 1ns Tribune
MILWAUKEE, Nov 22.-Tho boldest robbery
OF the scasou, and the most profitable one, took
place ut IN carly hour this cvoniug at the pawn
broker establishment of Levi G. Loomis, In
Market Squire. Tho thieves entered by rear
door during tho temporary absence Of tho pro-
prietor, and took 81, 900 from tue safe. Loolnis
was not In the habit OF banking his funds, md
WAS rather careless about guarding his premises.
lcfore going to tea ia tho basement he had
locked the front door, and taken tho key out of
the Bafo aud laid It on top OF it, but did not
think It worth whilo to bolt tic bnck door. Tho
thieves must have noticed this carclcssness, and
arailed themselves Of the opportunity to secure
so large haul. Though tliu robbery was i'm
tncdtatcly reported, tho robbers could not bo
captured.
