HELENA, Mont, Dec. 23-M will
take them ALL" said diamond robber
tonight at 7:40 o'clock, after having
asked to look at diamond IN JacQue-
minis jewelry store when Mr.. Jac-
quemin placed a tray Of diamonds on
the counter, valued at between $4,000
and $4,000. With this remark, he
grabbed the tray and disappeared
from the store.
But three people were present at
the time, Mr.. Jacquemin, girl clerk
and an old man.
The work was evidently that of ex.
perienced crooks, as the robber was
we'll dressed and had a companion
with horse stationed near by
Both made their escape.
The horse which they had hired at
local livery stable was returned by
boy, who stated It had been turned
over to him by two men. When the
robber entered the store he wore gog-
giles, and a bandage about his chin
running over his head was apparently
for the purpose OF coying up a large
scar. The boy who returned the horse
said the men had nothing Oh their
faces and he saw no scar. The clothes
and goggles were afterwards found.
Sheriff Shoemaker and several dep.
uties and the entire police force are
searching for the men.
Mr. Jacquemin was asked If he was
not suspicious in regard to the man
partially disguised and replied:

shown him the diamonds"
