STOLE THE FURNITURE.
The Valley Hunt club seems to be
having hard luck lately. Only few
weeks ago their club house, on Colorado
court, was broken into, and all the sil-
yer ware and other valuables in sight
carried off.
The offenders were not captured, and
last night came back for what was left.
Profiting by their former experience, the
club members had left nothing in the
house but the usual furniture, which
was considered safe, but nothing daunted,
the thieves this time proceeded to help
themselves to the furniture, taking the
sofa, chairs, crockery, and about every
thing in sight.
The club officers are expecting that
the building will go next.
