BURGLARS AT BARLOW'S.
First Visit Such Success That They
 Came a Second Time.

Thieves entered the store of Barlow Bros on Grand street Saturday night and made off with about $5 in money, and not having much trouble perform ing the feat they paid the place an- other visit last night! They got no money the second trip, but they cap tured $8 worth of car tickets which they may be able to dispose of at half price. Sunday Oliver Barlow called at the store and found the rear door ajar. The cellar door was also open, but as he noticed nothing the matter he closed the doors and thought no more of the incident, thinking perhaps that some of the help had been there and went out forgetting to close the place. Mir Barlow was not around at all yes terday and this morning when the clerks opened the store they found the cash drawer ripped to pieces and other evidence that thieves had been active since they left there Sunday. The cash drawer was smashed with a hammer, the smooth face of the wea- pon being plainly visible on the boards where whoever did the job made a few stray shots and hit portions of the drawer above the lock. The show case was opened and few razors and knives lifted, but co z dering the large stock of valuable cutlery ill the case, very little was taken Entrance was effected last night by climbing onto the roof and removing a skylight. The facts were reported at the police sta ton and Detective Dodds visited the store and looked over the ground. Whoever did the job must have had a whole lot of nerve, and it was mira cle how so much hammering could have been done beside main street without somebody hearing the noise. Some Of the neighbors claim that they thought they heard hammering about 3 o'clock this morning.
 There is a great deal of petty thiev- ing going on in different parts of the town and it is wonder that there IS not more of it, for the town is be- sieged by gang of clever sharpers that manage to live by their wits and considering their numbers and watch kept upon them, it must take them all their time to find enough to live on.
