MANY ROBBERlES.

| Since the circus left town many rob-
| berries have been reported to the police,
all evidently having been committed by
gang following the show, for it APP
pears that in every town the circus Wis
tied in this state people were robbed.
At Fond du Lac the police locked up
about fifteen suspects, one of them
being recognized as one who has "done
time" in number of prisons for burg
larles committed. 1t is evident the
Fond du Lac police did not catch all of
them, for there were no less than half a
dozen houses entered here and valu-
ables stolen
A lady, in passing the residence of r.
Goodrich, at SIG Sixth street, Saturday
afternoon, saw a man 90 up to door
and unlock il and enter and lock the
door behind him. When Mr. and Mrs.
Goodrich returned home they found the
house ransacheG from top to bottom,
and everything IN the way of valuables
stolen. Among the I'll ngs taken were
two rings worn by Mrs. Goodrich's
mother, now deceased, and which were
OF priceless value as heirlooms
When Mr.. and Mrs. Paul Kickbusch
returned home in the evening they
found that burglars had rummaged
their house, and it was ascertain ed had
stolen number of articles of iewelry.
-Four watches were taken, among them
one which had belonged to Aug Kick
busch and was left to Paul upon the
death of his father. The Kickbusch
home is situated at the outskirts of
town and the robbers had plenty of OPP
portunlty to ransack the house
Burglars also entered the home of w.
ID. KOllock, at 803 Franklin street, and
carried off all the vfsluables they could
find.
Sunday morning VIM. Cawley was
going to drop piece of money into
savings bank, which is owned by his
two children, when he discovered that
1T was empty. Previous to Saturday it
had contained four years accumula-
ton of nickels, dimes, etc, perhaps $50
in all. This discovery led to search
OF the house, and it was then found that
Mrs. Cawleys gold watch had been re-
moved from its plush case and the case
closed and put back in its place. After
prying open the doors of the bank and
removing the contents the robbers had
carefully closed the doors again. 1t
was found that they had gained en-
trance to the house through basement
window.
In these four houses the following
articles were stolen:
lady's gold hunting case watch.
! gents gold watch with gold ring as charm.
heavy gold ring marked G. w. X.
gold ring, pearl setting.
l lady's gold watch, set with small diamonds.

Besides the above several dollars in
money was taken, Sl5 being secured in
the Goodrich home. The house of Ernst
HOff on Third avenue was also entered
and a number of articles taken. While
Mrs. Hoff was standing out in front of
the house viewing the parade the thieves
entered at the rear, robbed the place
and took their departure before she re-
entered. There are street rumors to
the effect that other houses were burg
larized, but no reports have been made
10 the police department.
A young lady in the employ of Mr..
and Mrs. Otto Mathie as a domestic
lost her gold watch, it probably having
been taken by pickpockets. There were
evidently other robberies, for in the
morning two empty pocketbooks were
found at the Northv ,slorjI depot.
While lady was aligtolng from a train
a thief snatched her pocketbook and
passed it to man behind him, and We
in turn passed it to another. The act
was witnessed by railroad man, but
before he could interfere the three had
in the crowd Capt. Cor
man, while passing the Northwestern
work train, saw two men carrying
away from the dining car large box of
cured meats. When they saw him COM
ing they dropped the box and ran
away. The police later discovered an
other box that had been carried away.
No arrests have been made and it is
quite likely that the thieves boarded
a train and were on their way to Min
neapolis before the various burglaries
were discovered. 1t is quite probable
that they are connected with fence
in some of the larger cities, and thus
dispose of their goods.
