THEY STOLE SILVER.
Thieves Caught and 700 Pounds
Recovered.

Chicago, Feb. 13.-The Inter-Ocean
today says:
While digging for their stolen treas
ure on the shore of Lake Michigan,
Henry Germur, Is years old, and Geo.
Jensen, 10 years old, have been arrest
ed by South Chicago police for stealing
1000 pounds of silver bullion from the
National Smelling and Refining COM
pany.
A foot below the surface seven ingots
of silver. each weighing 100 pounds
were found. Confronted with this evil
dence Garmur and Jensen confessed
that they had broken into the strong
room and said that they had stolen ten
ingots in all. but had sold three of
them.
While passing the plant one evening
they had found one of the bars in a
widow opening into the silver room was
loose in its socket, so that it could be
pulled out and replaced. They used
this discovery in effecting an entrance.
When it grew dark they would repair
to the plant of the refining company,
lying in the shadow of a fence until
the Waterman had made his rounds.
Then they would remove the bar, open
the window and enter.
