The residence of John B. Smith
business manager of the Telegram, in
the Wine addition, was burglarized on
Thursday night.
The hour OF night that the burglars
entered is. not known and the clues are
few and somewhat indefinite, but suf.
ficient it Is thought to run the burglars
down and give them the punishment
they deserve.
The burglary was not discovered un-
til morning, the family sleeping up.
stairs, and no one occupying the lowei
part of the house.
Tine burglar or burglars entered the
dining room through one of the windows
The window was Fft hoisted but had a
screen over it. This was removed and
fastened by means of a big brass key
the burglar had to a post and wire on
the porch, so as to give them an op.
portunity to enter.
Inside they disturbed nothing except
the dining table so far as mas been
discovered. They divested t,of all the
silver ware there was on it and ate
some articles Of food and drank a pit
cher of buttermiIk.
The indications are that the burglars
are parties in that section OF the city
who are familiar with the house. Tn
police were notified and a secret nunt is
being made for the burglars.
The stolen ware was worth possibly
s25 or $50, but was more highly priced
because Of part of it being a gift.
