WAS
SURPRISED.

He Heard Noise and Found the Store

there shortly before 10 80 o'clock last
night to make light which is kept
burning every night, he heard noise
as of snuffling of feot, and thud as
of a heavy weight falling to the floor.
Upon striking light lie saw no one,
but found the store in state of dis
order. A bundle of five suits of
clothes, sizes "a to 39, was found part
ly done up, and several suit cases aud
two straw hats were lying OH the floor
in semi readiness for the thieves de-
parture. There were missing five
watch fobs valued at SO, and stick
pins and other jewelry valued at $25.
The front Of the safe had been
tampered with until it looked like a
picture puzzle. No explosive was
used, however. In their haste the
thieves left an iron jimmy, about
twenty inches long and three-quarters
of an inch in diameter, brace and
bit with peculiar CROSS on it, which
may serve as clue, smaller bit,
and an aluminium comb. The man OF
men who entered the store must have
been very slim in stature as they
gained entrance through small
aperture. The noise heard by Harrigan
us he entered was che striking OF 4
large dummy figure, knocked down by
the intruders in their rush to escape.
Harrigan notified his employer.
Patrolman Long was also told of the
affair. Detective Huff is working OH
the case.
