It was either a very clever thief, who
visited William r. Greene's pharmacy at
the corner OF North Main street and
Market square, last night. or one who
had familiarized himself with the prem
ises, the habits OF the employees and how
they worked two combinations-those OF
a safe and OF a cash drawer.
This pharmacy is one OF the substa-
tions of the local postoffice.
II Is provided with a double drawer
desk. one for cash and one for stamps
and envelopes. Each OF these is opened by
a combination lock. which is operated by
pushing in certain buttons.
Back of this desk is safe which Is
locked by an ordinary combination sys-
tenn.
In the prescription department is box.
which is kept out OF sight and In which
the clerks have been accustomed TO place
money paid for medicines they have put
up.
The pharmacy was closed just before
midnight.
AT that hour the safe and postal de-
partment drawers were securely locked.
The first clerk 10 arrive at o'clock
this morning was surprised TO find the
postal department drawers upon the floor.
each was empty.
The clerk was suspicious that the store
had been systema ticaly looted and tried
the safe door to make sure that that was
all right.
70 his establishment the safe door was
opened and the money drawer empty.
lie hurriedly notified Captain Murray
of the Central station. who made an in
yestigation.
The thief had climbed over tall fence
on Canal street. enclosing the lane be-
tween the Peoples Savings Bank and the
Central hotel building.
He had then forced a cellar window OF
Denault's liquor saloon and getting into
the cellar had broken pane OF glass in
a door, reached in, and removing bolt.
gained access TO a door which opened
into the cellar of Greene's pharmacy.
This door was bolted and hinged on the
opposite side, but the thief had pried off
the hinges and then slipped the bolt.
Getting into the pharmacy cellar he had
raised a trap door which Is In the floor
Of the prescription department and after
that he had smooth sailing, for he could
operate when I'm the shadow OF the high
counter and postoffice desk.
Skilfully he operated the combination
lock of the safe; equally adroitly did he
work those on the postoffice drawers.
From the latter he secured $l4 In cash
and quite n quantity OF stamps
From the safe he gathered I'm about $50
in bills and change.
From the prescription department he
collected about $40
Having made his haul the thief de-
parted as he came. Watching his
chance he dropped from the fence TO the
sidewalk and deoamped with his booty.
