THE LAUGH ON THE POLICE
A Hardware store on Kansas Aven ne
Boldly Burg1arized-


The hardware sto- G Of Culver s. Bailey
between Eighth and Ninth streets on
Kansas avenue, was burglarized last
night
The thieves entered the store through
the front transOm. To reach the tran
som they cut the awning rope and made
a rope ladder which was fastened TO a
large spike near the top Of the door.
They carried away seven revolvers,
three dozen razOrs and other small arti-
cles valued at about SIS. The thieves
left the store by the back door and the
ladder was left at the door where it was
found this morning.
1t is thought the theft was committed
by boys IA search of firearms. The safe
was not molested and the small change
in the money drawer was not taken.
When burglars can enter the front
door Of q store on Kansas avenue on
bright moonlight night and not be de-
tected it is about time for the police to
take a tumble to themselves

mapped out by Frye, who says Il secret
order for this purpose is being formed
in all the large cities and commercial
c%enters. is TO spring the revolution ut
