money due on freight bills preparatory
to his usual monthly deposit. and had
four hundred ard eleven dollars in
common bill book in his coat pocket.
He retired Tuesday night, leaving his
coat on chair in the dining room near
his bed room door. During the evening
while Mrs, Eames and the hired girl
were alone they heard what sounded
like two persons proving about the
premises. Some time ia the night
slight noise was heard, but it was
thought to be the cat. When dressing
in the morning Mr.. Games missed the
pocket book and upon Investigating il
was found that the doors that were
locked the night before were unlocked,
and outside beneath the shed window
was small curved iron bar for the pur-
pose of prying up windows. The thief
had evidently entered this shed window
passed up the back stairs through the
chamber down the front stairs and front
hall TO the dining room, probably un-
locking the front door on the way, as
the kitchen and shed doors were un.
locked, it may be departure was taken
that way. The following forenoon the
pocket book was found near the ceme-
terry, receipts and papers were undisturb-
ed but the money WAS gone. Several
| slight clues have been run down but
nothing has come from them. The
evening of the robbery man appearing
and acting strangely was seen about the
| streets. Thursday man of this des-
cription called at a house in the south
part of the town for breakfast and seem
I'd TO have considerable money In his
| pockets. He was followed to kngield.
but as nothing suspicious was fouud
about him, he was not detained Nearly
everything indicates that the robbery
was the work of outside parties.
