1t seems as If a wave of theft and
burglary Is sweeping over Mesa coun-
| ty this week. Within a period of is
hours three burglaries have been re-
ported TO the sheriff's office in this
city. All strange and tough looking
characters are being looked upon
with suspicion.
This morning when the panitor of
the Grand Valley Bank building was
making his rounds of the building
doing his morning work he found
laying in the upper hallway of the
building a fiat oak drawer in which
were pieces of bridge work and fill
ings. The janitor at once realized
that the drawer was from n large
cabinet in the dental offices of Dr.. L.
C. Clark. He entered the offices and
at once ascertained that robbery had
been committed. DR.. Clark was noti-
fed at once and the well known dent
ist was not long in realizing that he
had suffered a heavy loss at the
hands of the burglars.
There were no marks on the door
of the front office opening into the
hall and 1t is believed that it was
not locked through some mistake in
the evening. After entering the front
Office the burglars of burglar climb
ed over the high glass partition, into
the work room of the dentist. DR..
Clark has a large dental cabinet in
this room in which he keeps his
bridge work, filings, Instruments,
etc. The burglar tore off a strip OF
oak that successfully fastened at once
all of the compartments and drawers
of the cabinet.
The contents of two drawers only
were disturbed. The thief was evil
IDENTIFY after gold only. In one of
these drawers DR.. Clark had much
/ fine bridge work. some completed
and some in course of completion.
All this reached an intrinsic value
of between $500 and 5000. DIR. Clark
states that 1t was worth far more tc
l him for he will have all of the work
to do over, consequently is out the
value of many days labor besides be
ing out the monetary value of the ma
terial.
This was the drawer that the THE
carried out into the hall with hin
and left 1t to be found by the jani
tor.
The second drawer ransacked con
n hnxau of
All the boxes but one were taken
These goods were worth about $50
The thief overlooked a bag con
tanning about $50 in silver money an,
sixty ounces of silver which DR.. Clarl
had put away in the bottom of tn,
cabinet and which was easy to ge
at after the cabinet had once beer
opened
Dr. Clark notified the sheriff's of
fee at once of the burglary.
This is the third time that DR.
Clark has had his dental parlors rob
bed, the last time prior to last night
depreciation was about three year
ago, large quantity of valuable ma
terial being stolen at that time.
Early last evening, probably be
tween six and seven o'clock a THE
or thieves entered the dental par
lors of DR.. George r. Warner Il
the Canon Block and appropriate
two fine. practically completed gol
bridges which had been left on
shelf in the work room, as one of DI
Warmers ASSISTANTS expected to re
turn to the office later in the even
ing and finish the work on them. Tn
bridges were worth about 500.
1t was very bold piece of bushes
as the hallway in which there
frequent passing, was not dark tina
early in the evening. Entrance wa
gained to the offices by forcing
! Yale lock on the door to the receI
tion room. Evidently the burgla
made TO effort to get into the bi
safe. 1t was too early in the evenin
Y for such a move, and contented hin
self with the two fine bridges. II
then escaped undetected. DR.. Wa
. ner on returning to his office abot
seven O'Clock In the evening discove
q ed the robbery. He at once repor
ed the same to the sheriff's o
4 flee. Sheriff Schrader searched a nun
4 ber of men In local saloon but foun
= nothing discriminating. However. or
H of the men searched proved to be or
of the boys who was suspected Nv
years ago of robing the Warner o
hces. He was arrested on suspicio
and lodged in Jail.
