A burglary was committed at the

tered the store from Commercial street
mace their selection of such goods as
they wanted and made good their es-
cape. leaving no tangible clue behind
them.
The break was not discovered until
the store was opened. yesterday morn
ing, when II was noticed that the stairs
leading to the second floor were COW
cred with broken glass. from the light
in the door leading to Commercial
street, which showed where the thieves
had gained an entrance.
A further examination showed that
quite an amount of goods had been
taken. although it was impossible. with
the large stock carried. to tell at once
just was was gone. AS soon as possible
list of the property that was known
to be missing was made and placed in
the hands OF Deputy Marshal Hanks.
who had it printed and sent ont copies
on the forenoon mail to all the larger
cities and also sent telephone messages
warning the police OF other places to
be on the lookout. The list of goods
stolen is as follows:
Three pairs of Bismarck shoes. sizes
6, 6l2, :. stamped $3.50. patent leather,
freak toe. They wore one pair off.
one pair Fownes or Castor Gloves.
one hat (probably Young Bros.) size
Ga or G7s.
Three pairs drawers. two shirts J,:-

one shirt, size Az. Stag brand.

one pair Of light green with white
stripes.
gold plated.
One dozen stick pins, one-half dozen
button cuff holders.
One coat, 81 or 81 size. probably

name on buttons.
Pair odd pants, probably small size.
| The work of the thieves was evident
ly conducted in a very lelsurely man-
nor, and they apparently looked over
the stock before making 4 selection.
They even went to the show window
and took out some russell shoes to try
on, but as they did not fit. threw them
down. They also tried on other shoes in
the window. and from the shoes which
were taken they evidently had n pref
erence for patent leather. Both the
first and second floors Of the store were
visited. The money drawer was not
touched, although it was open at the
time. and contained about ~ in change.
The time at which the break was
made is not known, but it is thought
that it occurred at 4 time when one Oh
