ROBBERY OF A SHOE STORE.

last night the shoe store of John
Green, No. 226 W. Second street, was
burglariously entered and robbed of a
considerable quantity of shoes and gai-
tiers. The burglars effected an entrance
through the rear window, which they
reached by coming through Harris lum-
Der yard. The back door of the store
bears marks as if an entrance had been
attempted there, but being stout and we'll
bolted, the burglars turned their atten-
ton to the window. which they forced
from its frame with some heavy instru-
ment, evidently jimmy. After effecting
an entrance they took all the fine shoes
and CATERS from the front window, and
emptied several boxes of ladies' shoes,
besides taking other shoes from the
drawers, with which booty they made
their escape. 1t is not yet known how
much stock was taken, but the loss to
Mr.. Green will not fall short of $200.-
