BOLD ROBBERY. The Establishment of F. J. Villaescusa Burglarized
 Last Night. THE THIEVES CAUGHT And Bound Over to Await the Action of the Next Grand
 Jury.
THE THIEVES CAUGHT

For the past several days a couple 0
 boys, some what prepossessing in appear
 ance and fairly we'll dressed, but hard
 ened hobos in the manner of conduc
 and talk, have been in the city. Excep
 occasionally, they attracted but littl
 attention other than that of being
 strangers in the town. They visited ;
 number of stores, but made no purchas
 es, their object evidently being one o
 observation robber than legitimate trade
 Yesterday afternoon, about 4 o'clock
 they were at the store of F. J. Villaes
 cusa, on South Meyer street, and after
 carefully examining the tempting dis
 play in the show windows they made a circuit of the building. The south side particularly attracted their attention, as it was twice visited. Beyond casually noticing their actions, however, no at tention was paid to them.
 A young man by the name of Alejan- dro Bareda is accustomed to sleep in the store, but had been absent between the time of closing and II p m, When he returned to go to bed, he then noticed that the store had been burglarIzed and gave the alarm by firing pistol several times. By this means a crowd speedily gathered. The proprietor of the store was notified and search parties organ ized.
 Entrance to the store was had through @l, L T 1e ho hr1rl q dnrsr by which the rear door to the store had been reached and entered, and once in they proceeded to work. A show case containing fine assortment of Iocket cutlery and revolvers, for easy footing, was lifted from the counter to the floor and ritied, so far as can be learned of tEirty-two pocket knives, two daggers. five revolvers and three boxes of pistol cartridges.
 It was this show case on the floor that first attracted the attention of Bareda on h;s return to the store It is probable tnat his coming frightened them away. Suspicion of the theft at once fell on the two boys who had been loiterIng around the premises on the proceeding afternoon, and search for them was at once made.
 Among the searchers was Ignacio Cavillo. He had seen the boys in the afternoon, ard knew whom to look for. Several parties went to the depot, but failed to turn the little rascals up. Not so, however, with Cavillo. Within a half hour after the fir t note of warning had been given he had the little fellows in tow. They were in an empty coal car on the track near the warehouse of l. Zeckendorf & Go. Cavillo climbed nto the car with them and asked them where they were going. They said West" and put like question to him. He replied that he was "Goipg West also"
 When told that they were his prlson- CTS was where their first surprise came in. They We're not the least disconcert- ed, but expressed astonishment that Cavlllo should have been in such hurry to follow them, and one frankly said: We though: you were a hobo. too, or We would not have let you got so close" They were returned to the store, end an inventory made of their holdings, which resulted as noted. They were taken to the Occidental Hotel and given 8 cup of coffee each. They professed to take the whole thing as great joke, and drank to the health of Constable Saunders who had them in charge. From the hotel they were taken to the county jail.
 This morning they were arraigned be- fore Justice Scott and bound over to await the action of the next grand jury. They gave their names as Paul Harrel snd Charles Curtis. The value the property taken was about $50.
