View of Owner.

Sneak Thief Stole Watches In Plain
View of Owner.
A daring sneak thief committed a bold
robbery early last evening at the jewelry
store of Henry r. Grove, at 18th and E;
streets. The thief was a young colored
man, and he succeeded in making away
with several valuable watches. He has
not yet been apprehended, and the chances
of his capture are by no means bright,
owing to the meager description furnished
the police.
The robbery occurred while the streets
were well filled with people. The intruder
boldly entered the store, placed a chair
near the window, mounted the chair and
reached over the showcase to a string of
watches on the repair rack in the window.
Mr. e. NJ. Middaugh, the manager, who
was seated at desk in the rear of the
store, at that moment looked up Seeing
that he was discovered, the thief rushed
from the store, dropping several watches
