work with. They then gained an entrance
to the store by cutting ont the sash in a
rear window Of the premises. Two patent
Tucker alarm money drawers containing
money were pried from off their fasten-
ings, and taken TO a barn near at hand.

good their escape, leaving no available
clue. Nothing else in the store was dis
covered missing. A show case containing
jewelry, and two small boxes containing
