WET GOODS
Are Stolen at
Spencer.
THREE ARRESTED.
Officers Believe They Have
an Excellent Case.

Spencer, Nov. 1J.-Sone time between
IL o'clock last night and o'clock this
morning, the saloon of LOUIS Snay, on
Chestnut street, was entered and re-
lieved of some of the best sealed goods
and cigars that were in stock. Entrance
was forced through window in the
rear of the basement, where all the
wholesale business is carried on. When
the saloon was opened 10 this morning,
It was noticed that the sealed goods be-
hind the bar were all strewn around,
and the very best goods were taken.
Besides the fancy drinks taken, there
was also q large quantity of cigars
centers
The wholesale department is connect
ed with the retail saloon (Which is on
the floor abote) by q fight of narrow
stairs, and 1t is by these that the bur-
glars gained access to the fine bever-
ages that DR.. Shay is noted for keeping
OF. hand. The burglars, however, did
not bankrupt the saluon-keeper, as it
appeared that they only took enough to
satisfy theh cravings for a short time.
The loss is estimated at pei haps $40.
CHER of Police McKenna was notified
OF the robbery, and, with the assistance
of Officers Edward ;owen and George
Dunn, rouno4d up he men whom sus-
p'cton seems to hang on or before IL
o'clock Tlls three men who are now
IL Station awaiting trial for the bur
8lary are Louis Walker, who resides
with Julius Allen OF Moth Spencer
Napoleon Berthiaume of Mechanic
street and Charley Cheverette, who re-
sides in Jericho.
Louis Walker was found by the Off
GERS near Railroad Park, so drunk that
he didn't know his name, and, with
some rock and rye of excellent quail
ity in his pockets, which the officers at
once sized up as belonging to Mr..
Shay.
Berthiaume was the next victim, he
being found in Snay's saloon, also, with
a. glorious edge on. Last, but not least,
the officers arrested Cheverette, whom
they found at his home in Jericho. The
officers believe that they have got
strong cases against these men, who
will undoubtedly be found guilty
