making public these robberies. When the
bartender at the Bike saloon, sc West Mar
ket street, opened the place yesterday
morning@he found things in great disorder.
A burglar had entered by prying open a
rear window and had made a search of the
place. From the cash register $50 was TAX
en- and a box of fine cigars was gone.
The wine house of Julius A. SCHUYLER. 12
North Meridian street, was also visited by
burglars. Here they secured a large guam
tfty of fine wines and cigars. They seemed
to be acquainted with the stock, for they
selected only the highest grades OF goods.
Among other valuables taken here were
four medals given to Mr.. SCHUYLER by the
governments of Russia, Germany, Portugal
and Turkey for his work as judge of wines
at the Chicago Exposition.
Another burglary was committed at the
saloon of Matz & Matz, 80 East Market
street. Here the burglars secured nothing
but a little change for their trouble.
Some time during the night a horse was
stolen from the stable in the rear of SO
Fletcher avenue. 1t was the property of
Gustav CT. Schmidt, and a valuable ami
NAL.
Aug. 7 the Journal published a list of the
numerous burglaries and robberies which
occurred in the city during the single
month of July. The list was a long one,
and did not include any of the petty thiev-
ing which was SO common at the time, and
which still continues without any interrupt
ton from the police. The list included only
burglaries and highway robberies. Below
is given a list of the robberies which oc-
CURED between Aug. 10 and Oct. Is, accord
ing to the record kept at the police station
Of cases reported there. There were sever
al highway robberieS which do not appear
In this list. On which was reported to the
police is that which occurred in Military
Park on the morning of Saturday, Oct. 3.
This was not made public, and it was not
even on the records at the police station.
1t therefore appears that only a part of
those reported are recorded. In this case

cents and left him unconscious in the park.
