HIS ThicrioS> Cover Wide Field. From
Canned Good. To "a Tombstone.
Kansas City has developed one of the
MOS: unique thieves that has yet been
heard Of in real life. Several months
ago the police force ie:,rned that a sneak
thief was making derirdatin.:s upon eel
lars and pan;ries and even on outlying
grocery stores. ana carrying of canned
goods and such eatables rs We're not per
isha,ls
There We're certain rec,iiaIities about
the rohheries that led the police to be-
lieve that they Were all done by the same
person, but there WIS no clcw that they
could follow to catch the thief. After
amassins a gcodly quantity Of food on
which to start to housekeeping the thief
began on fnel. AMI whole carloads were
carried away, each case showing the EVIL
dences OF the food thief. When full
supply of coal was taken. the thief turned
his attention to furniture and carried
off articles of al kinds, from light chairs
to heavy bedsiead with mattresses. An
entire bedroom set was taken from a
house and 10 trace left. The family
| was absent for a night. and on their re-
turn they found their room despoi!ed
Having furnished his bedroom and
parlors, the depredator set about getting
| his kitchen in order, and first an ice
| chest was taken from house in Ar
| mourdale. and then cooking stove and
kitchen table from a house in Rosedale.
By this time the police were fully alive
| to the fact that the stealing was going
| on right under their noses. and they be-
gan to talk about the quecr thief. This
| attention seems to have iattered the
thief, for he signalized his presence next
| by carrying off "A large baseburner stove
from a parlor in Kansas City. Kan,
while the family were spending the even
ing with neighbor This occurred last
| week. and since then it appears that the
| man has his furniture. food and fuel for
the winter. for TIE depredations have
| ceased.
1 Another phase. however. seems to
have broken out, and it is evident that
| member of the thief's family has sick
ened and died. A few days ago drug
store was broken into and medicine
taken, and last night the climax was
reached when the thief went to the GEM
eteEy out on the Quindare boulevard and
carried OF fine tombstone. There Is .
talent here that shows the development
Of system that would beat a bank. and
the police are very anxious to make the
acquaintance of the thief.-Cor. St.
