Some time during Friday night last
burglar entered the candy store of John
Stark, on Third street, and secured an
amount of money. When the store
was opened for the days business Sat
urday morning, papers, bills, stamps,
etc, were found lying on the counter
near the cash register, but about 81 in
change left in the register the night be-
fore was missing. The burglar was
thoughtful enough to ring up "No sale"
on the machine so that it did not need
be reset for the days business. The
burglar gained entrance by opening a
back window which had been left un-
locked. 1t has been customary for Mr..
Stark each evening to snap the sash
locks, but on the evening of the burg
larry, he forgot to do SO, and the burglar
found himself in luck. The alley back
of the store had been raked the day be-
fore and the intruder's tracks were
plainly visible next morning. They
showed that he had tried other windows
in the alley before finding the one that
yielded. So far as can be seen he did
not molest anything else in the store.
