Stolen Papers Recovered
| Two weeks ago n sharp sneak thief
entered the little general store of r. J.
Loomis on North Fair Oaks avenue and
helped himself to the contents Of the
money drawer and disappeared. His
booty amounted to something like $3.50
In cash and number Of certified checks
and other negotiable paper. Today j.
G. Delbridge, an employe of the city
park department, discovered the wallet
containing the checks and other papers
lying among the bushes in Central park,
where It had no doubt been thrown by
the fleeing robber as discriminating evi-
dence. The papers were somewhat
damaged by the rains of the past weeks,
but were still valuable, and tonight Mr..
Loomis is congratulating himself on
their return. Nothing has ever been
discovered leading to the identification
of the robber. although he was supposed
to have been Los Angeles crook,
possibly the one who performed a like
sharp trick in a small store in the Angel
City about the same time.
