Visit Four Places and Secure Less
Thnn Two Dollars

Than Two Dollars.
Burglars were very much in evidence last
Tuesday night and went about their busi-
ness in systematic shape. They selected
Upper Farnam street as a field of opera
ticns and made no less than four visits
within a distance of six blocks The, thieves
who did the work are evidently old hands
at the business and displayed considerable
sklll IN their operations. They are what is
known in police parllnce as "transom work
erS. Starting in at Twenty fourth street
an entrance was first effected at the store
OF r. Il. Welsh & Bros, 1886 Farnam street
The men at once went to the safe but cn!y
found rs cents in pennies for their trouble.
The safe had been left open, as the propri-
etors are not in the habit of leaving their
money in it at night. The men got in
through trinsom of rear door.
The next place visited was the butcher
shop of S. Dreyfus, POLO Farnam street. The
men went through transom of rear
door as in the first instance and then tapped
the till. They secured but cents and prob
ably left in huff at their poor luck, for
nothing else was disturbed This is the third
time in six weeks that the store of Mr.. Drey-
ytus has been visited by burglars. The first
time the burglars secured Sc from. the money
drawer and upon the second occasion 49,
Since the last visit the proprietor has left
no money in the store at night.
From here the thieves went into the gro
cery store of Cleland & Smith. 2OO6 and 2O0S
Farnam but secured little for their trouble.
The plumbing shop of NJ. e. Free, 1906 Far
nam, was the last place tried and again the
thieves met with their former hard luck in
securing little OF value About 75 cents in
stamps was found In a drawer of the safe,
which had not been locked, and with this
booty the men departed. Nothing in any
OF the stores visited was disturbed except
the cash receptacles. and it is evident that
the men were not looking for anything but
stun which would not incriminate them If
caught. The police are on the lockout for
the men. 1t is thought they are members of
an organized gang, which has lately arrived
in the city and are doing specialties in the
porch climbing and transom working line
The stores at 1921 Howard street and 101
South Twelfth streets were reported open by
the police last night. The proprietors had
failed to lock their front doors upon leav-
ing. They were notified.
Burglars broke a glass in the rear door
of Gladstone Bros. store, 1414 Douglas
street. last night and got away with few
cigars kept in a showcase in the front part
of the store. They did not have time to
tap the money drawer but were scared away
