TILL ROBBED WHILE VIEWING PARADE
Sneak Thief Got Sl8 From the
Store of Mr.. Hdrdie Yesterday.

While A. T. Hardin was out watch
ing the circus parade yesterday and
his mother was in garden, thief
sneaked into his store on Fourth
street and tapped his till taking about
eighteen dollars in bills and silver,
leaving the pennies. The thief was
evidently an expert in the business
for it was done quickly. The thief,
at least the man supposed to be such
was seen to pass the store and enter
ther garden adjoining the store and it
is surm1sed that he entered the store
by a rear door and the same man was
subsequently seen retiring from the
opposite side. The officers have a
good description of him and it is hoped
that he will be apprehended before he
takes his departure from the city
should he be stranger. The Hardins
have been in business here many
years and it is the first time that
they have had anything stolen.
