 One robbery and the attempt to rob another place is the story of crime in the city last night The robbery of the store was the second attempt to get in the building in the last two weeks. and even though the thief was successful last night he was hardly paid for his work, as he only succeed ed in getting a small sum of money. The attempt to rob the other place was probably the third one in the last three months and again last night the thief did not succeed in effecting an entrance into the place, as he was scared away by q guest of the Hotel Albert.
 This morning when the grocery Nknre of w. Fl. Williams, at the cor ner of Selma and Lawrence Streets. was opened 1t was discovered that du- ring the night some NQne had entered the place. An entrance had been made through a rear door to the store on Lawrence Street, the chain that held the door having been sawed and the door prized open. After the thief had entered the store he made his way to the cash register and opened 1t.
 Before closing last night MT Will Hams had taken all Of the money out of the register and put it in his safe with the exception of about $3 in one
  All of the money left in the register was taken by the thief, which he fsuc- ceeded in getting away with. Wheth- CT the thief took anything else is not known but it is thought that he did not, as he was probably looking for what money he could find. although there may be missing some light groceries.
 The other attempt at robbery was ou the gun store run by P. c. Keipp on Dallas Street. and took place at about 2 o'clock this morning. About that time a guest of the Hotel Albert who was sleeping in the fourth story heard the breaking in of window glass and on looking out of his window saw negro standing on the sidewalk in front of Keipp's gun shop and attempt ing to open a shutter of the window, so that he could get in the shop. The young man yelled at the negro and the latter broke and ran up Dallas Street to Broad. where he turned
 The robbery of the Williams store is thought to have taken place at about 1 o'clock this morning and leads to police to think that the thief who en- tered the Williams store is the same one who attempted to get in the Keipp gunshop.
