number of places were visited the operators sue
corner of front glass in Hutchins's shoe store
242 East Washington street. was broken in much
the same way as was done at a number of shoe
stores few weeks ago. Four pairs of shoes
taken.
The grocery and feed store of Herman Rhine.
No. 618 South Meridian street, was entered and
40 cents, all that the money drawer contained,
was taken, together with a box of cigars. About
eight dollar in cash, which the thieves failed to
see was lying on a shelf back of the money
drawer
William Wondrum, who keeps saloon at the
corner of South Meridian and Wisconsin, lost a
revolver. one box and half of cigars, and a few
cents in money.
Entrance in the last two places was gained
through rear windows.
About o'clock the same night Mr.. Stevens,
of 12S South East street, was sitting on his
front porch, when he discovered a man hiding
behind ee-box just in front of his house.
Thinking it safer, he went Within and about
half hour later an attempt was made by some
one, whom he supposed to be the man in hiding
to raise back window. The thief was fright
ened away.
There was also an unsuccessful attempt made
to force open cellar door of a residence near
the last one mentioned.
About o'clock yesterday morning number
Of young men boarding at Jacob Voughles, on
South Meridian street, were preparing to leave
the place, when stranger approached them in
the hall, asking if certain person roomed
there. Answering him in the negative,
they paid him no further attention, but opened
the door to the room of William Page, and asked
him to join them, the stranger meanwhile re-
mainining in the hall, where he could look into
Pages room. Page refused to go, and fell
asleep again, his door being left open. When he
awoke later in the day he found his gold watch
missing. and it is supposed the stranger stole the
watch after the party left the house.
