From the Herald.)
For the fourth time in the history of
Sleepy Eye the store of Peter Chrlsten-
sen was burglarlsed. Yesterday morn
ing it was discovered that the store had
been entered through a window in the
rear of the store, the large glass five. six
teenths of an inch thick being broken
and the iron bars cut off, thus allowing
the thief to enter. AS near as Mr.. Chris
tensen and his employees figure up there
were stolen two shot guns, number OF
revolvers, cartridges and a lot Of staple
hardware and other articles. The parties
who did the job were undoubtedly ia
millar with the store and the surround
ings for he or they brought along a
large steel cutter which was broken in
trying to cut more of the bars. A piece
Of the cutter that was broken in trying
to cut more of the bars. A piece of the
cutter that was broken was left by the
burglars. This piece of housebreaking
does not look as though it was the do
ings of professional thief or burglar,
as that class of men do not look for
general merchandise but money in safes.
Another thing that would make it ap-
pear that no stranger did il, is in the
fact that for the fourth time this same
store was broken into and the same goods
or merchandise taken. There are various
theories advanced as to who the thieves
are and the right parties will probably
be rounded up soon.

Fred will always be minus two fingers.
