taken. Though not made public by

occurred Saturday night while the

The huge crowds of people in the
streets required the services of al

were left practically unguarded.
Under the circumstance the thieves
had little difficulty in removing a
large pane Of glass from the rear Of
Akam's store and passing out the
valuable billiard balls. The only
clue to the perpetrators came in the
arrest of Il man today giving the
name of VIM. Anderson, trying to
sell to saloonkecpers for So 16 balls
worth 5000. Anderson claims to be
a stranger in Chicago out of work.
and says man with whom he is

be pretty equally balanced. A tribe

TRIES, which turned IL in favor Of Mr..

after which she drove straight home,
notwithstanding the half promise which
she had caused to be conveyed 10 that

ing what her husband wished her to do,
Kicked little, but had finally yielded 10
