TAILOR CHARGED WITH STEALING
VALUABLE SKINS.
Charles Hunker Arrested While Trying
to Dispose of His Alleged
Booty.
MILWAUKEE, Wis, Dec. 49, 1907.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Dec. 10, 1907.
The mysterious disappearance of many
hundreds Of dollars worth of valuable
furs from Gimble Bros, and other stores
several weeks ago, which has puzzled tie
police, was solved this morning by the
arrest of Charles II. Huuker, a tailor liy-
ing at 1886 Buffum street.
Detectives Fred Peck and Jacob Laub-
enheimer arrested the man on the west
side, while he was endeavoring to sell
a portion of a stock of furs valued at
nearly $1,000, which he admitted having
stolen from the fur department of Gim-
bel Bros store, while employed there
for a few days as a fur tailor.
At his nome. Huuker had many valu-
able fur sets, muffs, scarfs, fur over
coats and twenty skins concealed in
closets. One set alone. brown sable
muH and scarf is valued at S225. He
said that he took all the furs in one
night, having thrown them out of a win
dow into the alley just previous to quit
ting work. How he managed the heavy
load, and brought them to his home with
out attracting attention and directing sus-
piciOn to himself is a mystery.
Huuker also worked for the Hanson
Fur company for a time, previous to his
being engaged by GimbaIs, and it is be-
lieved that he may have taken furs
has lived in the city for two years, and
is fur tailor by occupation. His ia
miliarity with valuable skins enabled
him to select only the best. He will
be taken into district court Thursday
morning.
