ROBBED THE STORE.
A Bold and Daring Robbery Perpe
trated at OccOQuan.

bOIO ana Daring Robbery Ferpe.
trated at Occ0quan.
Two strange men were seen in Prince
William county. Va, near Occoquan, last
week. and Saturday. after a daring rob-
berry was committed. they disappeared
The residents Of Occoquan were startled at
what the burglars had done, and for sew
eral miles around the country has been
secured in hopes Of finding the plumber
secreted in the woods. The scene of this
bold and successful robbery Is not more
than twenty miles from the scene Of the
Aqua creek train robbery, for which piece
Of work the alleged principal is now on
trial at Stafford Court House. The appear
ance OF these strangers in the vicinity Of
Occcquan caused a little suspicion, for no
one knew why the men were there, nor
did anybody know what they intended to
do.
About 1 o'clock in the morning, after
Washington's birthday had been appro-
priately celebrated in the old Pohick
Church, these men were seen on the road
leading from Woodbridge to Occoquan, but
the citizen Of the county who saw them
thought nothing about their presence on
the road at that hour until Saturday morn
ing, when it was learned that Shoots
store had been burglarized, and booty to
the value of between 500 and 81 600 had
been taken.
Smcot's store is on what is called Front
street. the street near the river, and it
was well stocked with clothing, jewelry
and provisions. This store was probably
selected as the mark" by the burglars
because of the fact that they wanted to
get the jewelry and also for the reason
tnat there was no one sleeping in the
house.
When 1t came to question of effecting
an entrance the burglars would not risk
operating from the front, and so they went
70 the side of the building and succeeded in
cutting a large hole through the wall
once inside the building the burglars had
an easy time in getting what they wanted
IN the first place they emptied corn meal
from several sacks and then filed the sacks
with clothing and tewelry. Included in the
pIunder were eight overcoats, a number of
pairs OF shoes and a quantity OF jewelry,
including handsome gold watch belonging
70 MIR. Isaiah Davis, resident of the town
He had left his watch at the store to have
1T repaired.
In just what direction the men went after
committing the burglary is not known, but
1t Is thought that they possibly went to the
woods with the plumber. Others, however,
believe that they boarded an early morning
train and came this way. Persons living
near the store heard the noise made by the
burglars, but paid no attention to it, think
ing an animal at large on the road was re-
sponsible for 1t.
The police here were notified of the rob-
berry, and Inspector Hollinbergers detec-
tives will look for the stolen property and
thieves.
