A ROId Thief

Lydia Graham, residing at No. 312
North Market street, was robbed of
valuable silver heirlooms one evening
last week. The la y went home from
her work in the city and looking for
her entrance key in the place where
she had put it, was surprised to find
it missing. The door was standing
open and fearing to enter, the lady
vent to the Bolton residence near by
for assistance. When she returned
with Mr. Bolton the door was locked
and the key replaced, showing that
the thief had been in the house when
the lady came and found the door
open. There was missing from the
drawer of a sideboard valuable solid
silver heirlooms that had been the
property of her sister. Nothing else
had been disturbed. The party guilty
of the theft was evidently very well
acquainted with the interior of the
house and the customs of the home.
II the property is returned there will
be no questions asked; otherwise
some rather unpleasant revelations
will be made.

CLERKS HAVE TROUBLE
Open Stores Christmas Causes Rupture
In Local Union.

There is trouble in the ranks of the
membership of the Clerks Union in
this city ard it seems probable that
it may wreck the organization.
The trouble started over the Christ
mas clio sing of the merchantile houses
OF the city or rather not closing. II
appears that the 'Union" sent a COM
m ttee to the several business houses
where union clerks were employed
and asked that the stores close for a
half holiday on Christmas day. This
was agreed to by the merchants. The
list Of those agreeing to close was
published in the city papers. Later
it was learned by the employers of a
large number of union clerks that
some of the largest mines near the
city would not pay until Monday
evening or Christmas eve, and they
received requests from a large num-
Der OF patrons in and about these
mines to please hold open on Christ
mas day and wait for them to get
some of their Christmas things. Some
of the business men decided to re-
main open on account of the mine
trade and they asked their clerks to
please remain with them and assist
them in taking care of the trade.
There was a meeting of the Clerks
Union after the closing of the stores
Christmas eve to see what could be
done. Some urged that now was the
time for the clerks to assert their in
dependence and demand that the en-
plnverstp close as agreed. Otherwise
= strike should be resolved upon to
the employers to terms. Wiser
cOun-elS pre- Vailed, however, and the
stores and shops that were open for
he brl4ted trade of Christmas had
all The clerical force that was needed
t. wait on the publ c..
But there is still trouble in the
inuer circle of the union and dis
ruption is threatened. Some of the
members have gone so far as to tear
up their membership cards and to
declare that henceforth they are d.
vorced from the organization. 1t is
said that quite a number of the mem
bers have signified their intention of
quitting the local union.
