BURGLARS ROB STORE
OF STOCK WORTH $4,000
Robbers Cut Hole in the Floor
of Wolfe & HawIey'S and
Rausack Premises

Some time between Sunday morning
and yesterday morning the store Of
Wolfe & Hawley, 1928 Van Ness ave-
nue. near Sacramento street, was en-
tered by burglars and stock valued at
$4,000 was stolen. Goods from every
department in the store were taken.
The stolen articles consisted of fancy
silk waists, messaline silks, fancy
bags, sterling silver bags, gold purses,
feathers and necklaces. 1t is thought
that a wagon must have been used by
the burglars to carry away the loot.
The building is wooden one erected
shortly after the big fire and under
meath there is an open space. The bur-
glars had crawled into this open space
and had cut a hole in the flooring In
the rear storeroom. Crawling through
this hole, they had cut hole in the
door between the rear storeroom and
the front store.
One of the partners visited the store
on Sunday morning, leaving about IL
o'clock, and everything was intact at
that time.

Found on Main Street

suicide of Charles B. Ostermann. a
commercial traveller, whose body was
found at the end of Main street wharf

6S1 Howard street Ostermann, who
lived with his wife at 1S4S Polk street,

that death was due to natural causes,
but the autopsy last evening revealed
the presence of a considerable quantity

stomach. He was 35 years of age.

TOMALTY NEXT
Grand Jury Will Begin Investi-
CATION Monday

The grand jury met yesterday after
noon, but adjourned without having
transacted any business. The next
meeting was set for next Monday af-
ternoon, at which the Tomalty case
will be investigated. The reason for
the speedy adjournment yesterday af-
ternoon was because the grand Jurors
were needed as witnesses in Judge
Murasky's court in the hearing of the
petition of Attorneys Murphy and New
burgh for the dismissal of the indict-
ments returned against them on the
ground that the grand jurors who re-
turned, the true bill were biased.

Every store owned and con-

behind it the buying power Of
eight other great stores and
buying power is THE power
that makes for lower prices.
This great chain of nine stores
combines its orders with man
ufacturers in immense quanti-
ties and has its goods made to
order at prices lower than any
individual concern in the coun-
try could hope to secure. You
save as we save, for we sell as
we buy-give YOU the benefit
of every advantage which we
enjoy. That's something worth
your consideration.
For instance, our buyer who
does nothing else, placed an

Athletic Club Trustees Meet.

A meeting of the board OF trustees
of the Lewistown Athletic Associa.
ton was held at the gymnasium last
Friday night, all the members OF tine
board being present. The reports OF
the various committees showed that
the affairs of the association, financial
and otherwise are in very promis-
ing condition and the prospects tor a
successful winters work Of the best.
Plans we're discussed looking to the
securing Of the adjoining sample
room for the use as basketball court
and at present there seems little
doubt that such an arrangement will
be made by September l. This will
make it possible to carry on all de-
partments Of the work simultaneous
lv and without interference. Already
considerable interest has been shown
in basketball and it is believed that
this sport will occupy very prorl-
nent part in the work of the gym
nasium during the winter.
