Some greenhorn broke into the Graham
Drug Store last Saturday and robbed the
money drawer of fourteen cents. There
seems to be no clue to the thief, who has
been rolling in his ill-gotten wealth ever
since and probably making arrangements
for trip to Europe or the Pan. American
Exposition.
Entrance was effected by pryiug off the
strips of rear window and raising the
window, which was carefully lowered, and
the thief went out by unlocking the rear
door, as the key was left turned in the lock
on the inside. lie pried open the money
drawer and broke the alarm on il. The
clerk, Capt. Murdoch, had removed all the
money except ~ pennies and some souvenir
coins, consisting of Columbian half dollar,
trade dollar, and old fashioned three and
ten'eent pieces. These were overlooked
except the Columbian half dollar, which was
taken. The thief in his hurry pulled the
drawer out and spilled the coppers and
thirty of them were found next morning
under the counter and scattered around on
i 80 $500 ~ 49, ~ b'N ouA iouiASSH MS
work. Nothing else was missed. There
was large bottle of alcohol sitting on the
counter right by the drawer, but the fellow
was probably afraid to tackle it. There
was bat little liquor in the drug store now
since May list, when their license ran out
and none of il was taken. No one but
some greenhorn would have tried to rob the
store now two weeks after their license had
expired, as he might have known it would
be bad time TO get any money. Such a
fool as that wouldn't have any more sense
than to try to rob country printing Office
and we shall keep our bear-trap set and
bulldog chained loose at night hereafter
We always leave our safe open, anyhow, in
case any burglar should have curiosity to
see what was in il or get into our Office by
mistake. II he does and wants to examine
our dups and delinquent list in the safe, he
IS perfectly welcome to do SO, as we leave il
open on purpose for fear some fool might
blow 1t up and break the lock or pry the
door Oft its hinges, all for nothing The
combination IS pasted on the outside of the
door, for fear we might forget and close it
some time.
