One of the boldest robberies which
ever occurred here, took place Tues
day night. The jewelry store of Il.
H. Caswell was broken into and about
thousand dollars worth of prop
rty stolen. Entrance was made by
breaking in pane of glass in win
dow, and the burglar probably de-
pended upon matches for light, as
the floor was covered with burnt
stu BIS. He seemed to have been fright
ened away at last, as tray of pins
partly emptied was left on the win
dow sill. A case of watches contain
ing a fine gold one belonging to c. j..
Hubbard and some twenty OF thirty
silver ones were overlooked, where it
had been set away. A fine gold watch
just bought by the telegraph operator
here was overlooked, and about a
hundred dollars in money which was
in a drawer. Among the watches
taken was a gold one belonging to
Mrs. Alfred Randall. The theft is
the more annoying from the fact that
Mr.. Caswell had been having very
large and extra secure safe built, in
which, in few days all his jewelry
would have been locked. AS yet
there seems little clue to the burglar.
