ROBBERY IN GADsDEN.
Much Mystery Surrounds Breaking Into Frank & Hagedorn's Store.

Gadsden. September (special.)-A bold robbery was committed some tiIne Sunday night in the heart of the city, and the policemen knew nothing of it until notified Monday morning about o'clock.
 Burglars entered the store of Frank &q Hagedorn after midnight and stole there from some $500 or $70O worth of fine cloth ing, shoes, hats, etc. It has been proven that the light which is kept burning was all right about 12 o'clock, but after that time nothing definite can be learned, all though policemen claim that they made the regular rounds and found nothing sus- picious. The burglar entered the store by prying the iron bars apart at a rear win dow and turning off the light near this window and proceeded to take what he wanted.
 The robber was familiar with the stock and was very choice in what he took, as only the highest priced goods were taken. The robbery was discovered the next morning by T E. Paschall, who Is in the adjoining store lie notified the proprie- tors and MT. Frank came down and no- tifed the police. There is absolutely no clue to the robber and no one seems to know where to commence.
