Hanging On the Barbed
Wi e-No Clue

The general merchandise store of
\. Pascuale was broken into Oh either
saturday night or last night, and arti-
eles worth in the neighborhood OF
'lOO taken. The entrance was gained
by taking out large pane of glass
in the rear door. The cash drawer
vas opened by the burglar, but moth
ing found therein. No attemp: was
rade to open the safe. Up to the
present time there is no clue to the
1arty or parties who did a very neat
and apparently professional job Of
turglarizing.
A. M. Latta, manager of the store.
itated to the Silver State reporter
that the discovery of the burglary was
made by himself on opening the store
this morning. No one had been in the
2tore-except the robber-since clos
ing up time Saturday night; hence
it is impossible to determine whether
t occurred on that night or last night
The yard back of the store is sur
-cunded by a high board fence, over
which the burglar climbed. Then he
found himself confronted by another
'enee, topped off with several strands
II barbed wire, which surrounded the
porch. He climbed over this with the
lid of high stool; here he evidently
encountered some slight difficulty, for
1 long strip about an inch in width
torn from a black sock, hung On one
If the unyielding barbs. He did not
AXE tie time to recover the rem
lant of his hosiery, but made his way
- the rear door of the store One
)ane of glass, large enough to admit
he body of pretty good sized man
vas removed, and he then found access
Easy.
In all probability the burglar had
oeen in the store at some previous
ime and located the show cases from
which he desired to take goods So
far as can be ascertained, the only
ase molested was the one containing
he watches and jewelry. From this
he following articles were taken:
Century watch, one ladys red enam-
led watch, one ladys oxidized silver
gatch, four gents watch chains, gold
lugget valued at about 81, nine or ten
.ings with imitation diamond settings.
one bosom stud and three black rib
con fob chains. 1t was found that the
ash drawer had been opened, but as
Ii the cash from it had been trans
erred to the safe Saturday night, lie
got nothing from it. Apparently no
.ttempt was made to open the safe,
o: the chair which Mr.. Latta had left
ltting against its door Saturday nigh
.emained in the same position this
ncrning.
AS soon as the loss was discovered
dr. Latta notified Deputy Sheriff Null
.er, who obtained a list of the miss
,ng articles, and at once sent out cards
Al all directions asking tie officers In
all parts of the state to keep a look
jut for any person attempting to dis
pose of the articles above described.
rhis is the only chance, apparently for
arpIehending the burglar. No clue to
mis- identity, wher he came from or
where he went is left; only one foot
print could be found, and that was OF
IN ordinary sized mans shoe, just out
side the rear fence He must have
worked quietly and quickly, for no
noise of an unusual nature was heard
in any of the other places of business
near the store. During he 'ine that
he was inside one electric light was
burning in the back part of the room,
cr the opposite side however, from
where the case was robbed
