At /: 20 o'clock this morning, as officer
Gail of the Sixth Station was covering
his beat, he discovered a barrel with box
on top standing beside the rear door OF
Thompson Brothers grocery, 1920 West
minister street. Investigation revealed
the fact that window had been pried
open and entrance effected. Think in K
that perhaps the housbreakers might be
inside he stood guard alter rapping for
assistance. The call was not heard until
nearly 2 O'Clock, as his position was di-
rectly behind the deep buildings and mid
way bewteen Bough and Stokes streets.
When assistance arrived il was found
that the thieves who had effected en-
trance bad made good their escape. Moth
