| broken into last night and robbed or
SIS. When Mr.. Meyers opened his saloon
on Hartford avenue ~hs morning he no.
| decd that a square OF glass In one OF the
| office windows had been broken, but sup
posed that this was caused by boys peg
ging stones at stray cats. and thought
no more of the matter little later one
OF the clerks came in, and upon going to
the cash register Informed Mr.. Meyers
that there was no money in It. and then
it dawned upon him that the broken pane
OF glass meant that the place had been
broken into.
Mr. Meyers then began an investigation
and Il did not take him long 20 learn that
the firm had been robbed. for upon clos
ing up last evening he had left Sl0.55 In
the cash reg ster 81 % on his desk and
this was missing. also s25 that was kept
in a little tin box In drawer of his desk
this money being held as deposit for
bottles
He at once called upon the police. and
Patro.man Black responded. and he sent
for Sergeant Bennett and they were not
long I'm coming TO the conclusion that
some one well acquainted with the place
was responsible for the break. for but
few knew of the money I'm the desk and
the manipulation OF the cash register was
also evidence that no stranger was I'M
plicated, for had such been the case
the strangers would have made further
search for cash and woLgd have been
successful n inding quito a large roll OF
bills. I'm the far end Of the drawer. from
which the botde deposit money was
taken
Mr.. Meyers has no one to blame for the
loss but himself for his Office which con-
tains the safe and cash register Is nd
from view from the street and there is
10 way that the police can guard the
property without climbing high board
fence and this OF course they are not /
obliged to do, and this Is what was done [
last n ght by those who entered the !,
place. and after climbing the fence, broke |
a light OF glass reached through. lifted !
the latch on the sash and the rest was /
easy.
