pnce more making his appearance in ou
midst. after long vacation.
Last night, however. he was strictly
in it, and as q result several people ar,
out of pocket.
When the local agent for the Termina
arrived as usual at the station, the dool
leading from the waiting room to hit
office had been pried open. Further in
veatigation showed that the safe which
stands in the Office had been brok or

ing else in the safe but the money was
missing.
This, however. was not the extent oil
the operations last night. Some time
during the night thieves entered the
gun shop of Louis Herman on West
Colorado street and made way with
three revolvers. They entered through
back window which had been care
lessly left open.
Adams' blacksmith shop was also en-
tered and q number of tools taken,

the Terminal safe. No clue has been
obtained as to who the parties are by
the police as yet.
MORE RoBBERIEs.
Another robbery occurred late this
afternoon. the residence of Tom Hoag,
in the north part Of town. being en-

and number of valuable articles and a
sum of money taken.
Some OF the neighbors saw the fellow
az he was making off and reported the
fact to Mr.. Hoag upon mis- return. The
matter was at once communicated to
the police and sharp outlook kept for
the man.
Late this evening Officer Galtmsn
picked up q fellow answering the de-
scription. and when searched Q chain
belonging to Mr.. Hoag was found on his
person which he tried to conceal. The
police are certain they have the right
man. 1t is not thought. however, that
this fellow had anything to do with last
nights robberies, to which no clue has
yet been found.
At IL O'Clock tonight Mr.. Webster.
who lives next to the Methodist Episco.
pal church on Marengo avenue, re-
ported to the police that an attempt had
been made to enter his house. He was
awakened by some one raising the
screen window of his sleeping room and
attempting to enter the window. Tie
fellow was scared off by his calling out.
1t appears that the town is full of pick
pockets and sneak thieves and the police
are waging lively war against them.
Eleven were locked up in the jail at
IL 80 tonight. with prospects good for
an increase before morning.
