ROBBERY LAST NIGHT
Mr.. MARTIN O'BaIEk'S MONEY DRAWER
TAKEN FROM HIS BAR.
tween s11 and SIP I'm Cash-Two
Young White Men Who Had Been
I'm saloon Arrested on su.-
Picfon.

Last night about $50 o'clock while
Ar. John O'Br1er was waiting ON a GUS
toner at the saloon of Mr.. Martin
OBrien On the corner Of Mutt and Red
Cross streets. some one stole the money
drawer and its contents amounting to
between Ill and s12. The drawer was
carried away by the robber.
Mr.. O'Brien was in the store by HIM
self n was waiting on a negro. They
went to the back part Of the store to
get some whiskey and it was during his
temporary absence that h robbery
was committed. The matter was re-
ported at police headquarters and two
young white men who had been in the
store while Mr.. O'Brien was waiting on
the customer, were arrested a half hour
afterwards. 1t is not believed. how
ever that they are the guilty parties.
The most probable theory is that con-
federates of the negro who was buying
the whiskey stole the drawer and
monexwhile he engaged the attention
of Mr.. O'Brien.
