heap on The middle OF the floor. every
pocket. even 10 the small watch pockets,
turned inside out, and everything OF any
value taken. The members OF the divi-
sion are confident the mean thief was an
ex-member OF the organization, for en-
trance must have been made by a key.
as none OF the windows or shutters had
been disturbed. The matter has been re-
ported 10 the police. The men did not
leave much money in their clothing. and

sneak thief got for his trouble was a
small watch, which the owner prizes as
a keepsake.
