Many Thefts Reported.
Within the last few weeks quite num-
Der of petty thefts have been reported to
the police and some have not been re-
ported. While the police have worked
diligently on the cases reported, the right
parties have not been located. In the
burslaries reported to the police 1t appears
that the thieves take only money, leaving
iewelry behind. Chief Briggs and other
! officers Of the police force think that
! young woman is mixed up in some of the
stealing, but they are not positive.
! In every case where houses have been
entered and money taken not the slightest
clue has been found to help the police.
! Oficers on regular beats do not get very
/ far OFF the main thoroughfares and
sneak thief generally has things pretty
much his own way in the residence district.
