Store BurrlariZed.

Although the matter has been
kept secret for few days, the fact
that the wholesale grocery
house of Whiteman Bros, was
burglarized last Sunday night by
some one. for the present unknown.
When the hour for closing time
came on Saturday evening the key
belonging to one of the back doors
could nowhere be found. The door
was nailed up from inside securely.
The key had been stolen and the
thief attempted to gain entrance
with it Sunday night and using
force broke the key in the lock.
Baffled there, he approached the
double door on the north of the
building and using force pried
it open. Just how many hams
and sacks of -four were taken is
not yet known, but will be as
soon as the stock is checked
up. There is no direct clue to the
perpetrator, but murder will out.
