and occupied by John w. Lovejoy and
family, caught fire Monday night about

BEN N GOD
a Robbery At u. Q. Addison's Shoe
Shop Other Interesting Notes.

Some time during Monday night or
early yesterday morning thieves en-
tered the shoe shop of J. @. Addison.
on the north side of Sixth street, near
Water, by forcing open the door, and
carried away nearly everything of any
value in the shop, taking all the
bench tools, two pairs of ladies' shoes,
three pairs of mems shoes and a few
other articles. About seven o'clock
yesterday morning Walter Clark and
John Farmer found the entire lot Of
stolen articles, with the exception Of a
hammer, lying under the Labadie
building, on Main street, above Sixth,
where they had been hidden by the
thieves.
The boys, after finding the property,
inquired of several people concerning
the owner, and finally took it to Addi-
sons shop, where they discovered that
a robbery had been perpetrated. Mr..
Addison on returning to his shop
about eight o'clock from his home in
Bellaire, fully identified the property
as being his own. The police were i'm
mediately notified of the theft and
have set to work energetically on the
case. The, goods may have been taken
by some one who thought he was play
ing a practical joke on Mr.. Addison.
