A few evenings ago, John f. Harlow
when il came the hour to close his oicy-
Gle store I'm the square found that he had
no keys To lock up with. so he piled a lot
of machinery up against the front door
and took his departure through the side
door.
Since then he has been little more
careful and was certainly surprised
when he was aroused from his slumbers
at an early hour yesterday morning py
a patrolman who informed him that ms
store had been found open
MI Harlow could not see how TINS
could be, but knew IL must be true. lie
found that he hsd the keys OF his store
all right and remembered that he was
very particular to lock the back door and
try II, and was also positive that the
front door had been locked, ana what
seemed more strange 10 him was that
the patrolm who called him, told him
that IL was not necessary for him 10 go
10 the store. for IL was locked and the
keys were at the police station. but Mr.
Harlow could not see how this could be
when he had the keys I'm his own possess
ion.
This morning. however, when no called
at the station and got the keys that were
left there by the police he saw In an in
stant, that they were none OF his, and
later In the day learned that the two
keys that were found in the door were
old ones that one OF his sons had fixed
up to unlock the back door, in case OF
emergency
When Mr.. Harlow unlocked his store
he found that bicycle crate that he had
placed against the rear door had been
tipped forward. showing that an entrance
had been made by some one, and that
roll OF change containing " and about
dollars worth OF dimes and nickles had
been taken from the money drawer and
he was still further surprised when ne
found that another 81 roll of change that
lay beside one taken was left and In fact
whoever took the cash could nave taken
more. had they felt so disposed but ms
not take enough TO create any suspicion.
but would call again and make a larger
haul on another occasion.
Mr.. Harlow is quite positive that some
one who has access, 10 the repair shop
took the keys that had been fixed by
Enowins M r'tS that he he" r n 'f Harow GS was not
aware OF the fact that such keys were in
existence.
COVERED WITH BLOOD.
Capt. Rowe OF the Chaffee street station
has I'm his possession a wicked looking
pocket knife well covered with blood and
II is with this weapon that he and other
members Of the police department. believe
that Guno Campopiano assaulted Antonio
Cylon with at the Silver Lake district
yesterday. Campopiano has just return
ed from Cranston for a similar assault
upon one OF his fellow countrymen.
The police were called TO the home or
Cylon during tho afternoon, as some one
had reported that murder had been
committed there and when they reached
the scene they found Cylon nursing a
nasty cut on his left hand and the police
learned that Campopiano was the man
who welded the knife. but he was no.
whare to be found. and IL is presumed
that he is at Jericho

law. William r. Gilmore. on Pocasset
avenue. yesterday.
The young man was taken sick with
the grip short time ago and the dis
ease settled upon his kidneys But few
OF his age here were M popular as he.
and he was man who would have made
his mark In the world
FORCE TO BE REDUCED.
As further evidence that the mills Of
the American Wooen company did not
get any very great amount OF orders at
the opening OF the last seasons market
Is demonstrated by the fact that the
night shift at Manton is soon 10 be dis
charged and departments I'm the other
mills are to be cut down and this is no
more than has been looked for right
along.
The Atlantic and the Ernsclire mills
however. are booming along night and
day, and the prospects are that this will
be the rule for az least one year.
