BOLD DAYLIGHT ROBBERY
Mrs. Van Croft Loses Five Hundred
Dollars Worth of Jewelry.

The boldest daylight robbery in many
years was committed just before noon
today, when a we'll dressed young man
awlked into the home of Mrs. N. Van
Croft at 125 East Tenth avenue, and
walked out again with jewel case
containing over $500 worth of valuable
gems and heirlooms.
The robber walked in at the front
door, and spoke to Mrs. Van Croft who
is seriously i'll. He asked where her
daughter was, and was told that she
was down stairs. Mrs. Van Croft
thought nothing of this procedure, as
they keep roomers, and she could not
see the man plainly. Her daughter, who
was down stairs, heard the mans foot
steps as he entered bedroom on the
first floor, and started up to investi-
gate. The robber. hearing her on the
stairs, walked out of the house. and
up Tenth toward Kansas avenue.
She got only a back view of the man
as he walked away, and before she had
investigated and discovered the rob-
berry.
At the alley back of John Rhodes
second hand store. the robber turned
south and ran through the alley to the
curve in the alley, where he started
through the home of Mrs. E. J. Gordon,
1912 Kansas avenue, to reach the street
outside. Mrs. Gordon saw him at the
back door, and his appearance frighten-
ed her. He seemed greatly excited, and
carried a large knife in his hand. She
did not unlock the screen, and the rob-
Der crowded between her house and
the building on the north through a
space about 10 inches in width. Mrs.
Gordon walked to the front of her
house, and saw the man run across
Kansas avenue, where he stood a mo-
ment on the corner in front of Kohrs
drug store.
The police have been searching for
the thief, but have no trace of him.
They think he is the same daylight
worker who robbed two houses on Tay
lor street earlier in the week. He is q
small man, very dark complexioned
and wore a black suit of clothes.
The loss of the jewelry is keenly felt
by the Van Croft household, as many of
the pieces were priceless heirlooms.

THEY WILL WAIT.
Reformatory Board and Governor
Hoch Take No Action.

After considering the charges against
Superintendent E. E. Marshall of the
Hutchinson reformatory for several
hours on Friday afternoon, Governor

that some conclusion will be reached.
1t is said that a good deal of effort
is being made to get the board to take
no radical action against Mr.. Marshall,
but to allow him to resign sometime
before the first of the next year.

The lady was highly pleased with the articles of warmth and adornment. but being bothered with moths in her home, requested her fiance to secure a suitable box In which to keep the furs so they would not be damaged. After visiting all the lumber yards and cabinetmakers in the ward to get the lowest cost of a suitable case, he finally decided on the purchase of slightly damaged cedar outer case made for an infants coffin by an undertaken in Green lane. He got the undertaken to put hinges and a lock on the case and slipped 1t over to his lady love under cover of dark ness.
