Under cover of darkness and quiet the
thief again succeeded in penetrating one of
our stores and relieving 1t of a few hun
dred cigars and few dollars in cash.

was j. ID. Yandow's grocery and meat
market. An addition has been built in the
rear of the store and one of the windows
had been left open, but the main part of
the store. however. was securely locked.
1t was through this window that the bur-
glars gained admission They first went
to the store room thinking they could get
into the store through the door which
leads into the store from this room. Their
plans we're not accomplished as the door
was too securely locked. They then went
back and pried open with large file the
door between the room VIII oh hey on tered
and the store. They secured abou,7 0cigars
and about SO in change which had been
left in the money drawer. The money
