BURGLARS AT WORK.
Hare's Planning Mil Broken Into and
Papers Carried on.


Some time during Friday night the Office
OF Henry A. Hares planning mill and
box factory. at No. 231S east Main street.
was broken into.
The discovery was made when the office
was opened yesterday morning.
Entrance had been effected through
back window. which had been pried open
with a chisel. and the safe had been
opened by working the combination.
Papers and books were strcwn all over
the office floor. envelopes were opened,
and a thorough search was made for
money and other valuables.
Fortunately no money was left In tho
safe, but negotiable notes TO the amount
OF about $3.50 were taken, and number
OF carpenters tools were taken.
No clues were left, and no suspicion lay
upon any one.
The work il Is thought was done by
professionals. and from the appearance
OF things in the safe and the Office the
job must have consumed about two
hours time.
