large pane Of glass in the show win

queen street clothing store Wednes-
day night and took from the window
a suit OF clothes. a pair ofsuspenders
and an extra pair Of pants. The stolen
articles We're worth about SIS. AS
vet there is no cue to the thief.
The act was committed between IL
and O'Clock. Mr.. Kirson's son
passed the store at the former hour
and noticed that everything was al
right. About the latter hour a passer-
by observed the broken window and
notified Mr. Kirson who v mt to the
store and took all the goods out Of
the window
This is the second time in a few
months that Mr. Kirson's store has
been visited By thieves. Last fall the
same window was broken and some
shoes and other things taken.
The thief last night had evidently
been to the Hub clothing store first
and tried to break the paddock and
remove the hasp on the front door,
but failed in both attempts. Then it
is supposed he went to the Kirson
store nearby and broke the window.
The act was certainly a very bold
