"Absolutely no blame whatever at

this city for the robbery of Saturday
night. In the first place this city is

this number of men to properly police

I have seen splendid flowers raised in

tasteful planting from dumping

have a professional assistance or

BOLD BURGLAR.
sMASHES GLASS FRONT IN FRED
sCHNEIDER'S TAILORING
ESTABLISHMENT
Snatches Several Articles OF Hama
some Wearing Asparei and Makes
Coed His Escape.

A bold. bad burglar afforded Bar
raque street sensation Sunday morn
ing by smashing the large plate glass
show window in front OF FREQ
Schneider's tailoring establishment
and making away with three coats,
pair of pants and a fancy vest.
The robbery occurred at precisely
g O'Clock in the morning, according
to the best calculations of the police
department, and several persons heard
the smashing of glass when the rob-
ber effected his entrance into the
building The clothes were on eXhl-
bition in the show window. and all
the robber had to do was to break the
glass. grab the clothes and run Off,
all of which he did in very salts
factory manner to himself, for he
made good his escape. and so far as
advices to the contrary are concern
ed is running yet.
Fred Schneider's shop is located in
the middle of the block opposite the
Hotel Trulock. and Manager Habner,
who had retired for the night. heard
the blow that smashed in the plate
glass window He ran to the window,
and declares he was not two minutes
getting there: but he saw nothing.
The night clerk at the hotel also
heard the racket. and police head
quarters got it's first information of
the occurrence in this manner. Some
delay was occasiOned because those
who heard the occurrence thought the
regular officer of the beat. Policemen
Blakelv, had doubtless heard the
noise and would make his appearance
But it so happened that Mr.. Blakely-
who. by the way. is one of the best
men on the force-had been sent out
to the railroad crossing with the pa
troll wagon some time before the rob-
herv occurred. He returned nearly
about the time it happened. however
and was on the ground investigating
the matter when Night Chief Perdue
made his appearance, just twenty
minutes after 3 o'clock.
The delay enabled the robber TO
escape. Running around the corner
at Chestnut, he made down the alley
at the rear of the postoffice. where
he hastily discarded his old clothes
where they were later found by the
police. The police also secured the
hammer used in breaking the window
glass. These are the only clues upon
which the police department was able
to work on the case Sunday morning:
but they were used to the best advan-
tage. and it is said to be quite likely
that the articles will be identified and
the fugitive captured later
Chief Stewart of the police depart
ment was on the ground early Sunday
morning, and kept every man OF the
entire police force at work on the
case. including even the night men,
who had been up all during the pre-
yious night. for several hours. until
he had become convinced that the rob
Der had cot out of town and that fur
tber search here would be useless at
this time
It is believed that the work was
that of a negro, and there is a rumor
cut to the effect that the police know
more about his identity than they will
tell for publication yet.
