SEATTLE, Dec. 7, Special.--A most as
touisaiD9 robbery was successfully eXe-
cuted to-day in the small jewery store on
Washington street in broad daylight. The
name of the proprietor is II. Schulzinger,
and it is his daily custom to leave the
store at noon for his dinner, locking up
his place OF business and return.
When he came back to-day he
was surprised to 6ud the lock in the door
stopped up with peg. On obtaining an
entrance with difficulty and going inside
he discovered the show case ransacked
and the safe, which had not been locked,
robbed during his short absence of about

ten of which were gold, having been
taken by burglars. The entrance. was ef-
tected through the floor. The building is
situated, on piles about eight feet
above high water mark, The bur
glars had made a platform
underneath. and standing there out of
sight of the street and the occupants of
the store, had cut hole through two lay
ers of flooring. The work evidently took
several days. and was done by an expert.

progress was prevented by painted glass in
the doors, which obstructed the view from
the street. Tue keyhole was plugged up,
as an extra precaution, and the robbery
was contaminated in very few minutes.

tween the two floors, and may serve as o
clue TO the perpetrators. Schuzinger es-
Inmates his loss ut about 81 900.
