open a door leading to the second story of the
store. Mr.. Moore thinks the robbery occurred

furiously at some one at that hour. The thief

in postage stamps. Only one and two cent
stamps were taken, those of larger denomi-
nations being left on the counter. Some
shoes, clothing aud hosiery were also carried

was tracked to Ascension Episcopal Church,

the church cold chisel, two pairs Of shoes, a
bundle of wooden socks, linen towel and a
partly used candle were found, one of the money
drawers having been thrust through the fence
