BOLD ROBBERY IN FRISCO
JeweIry Stores Losses Will Amount
to $4,000.

San Francisco, April 13-Some
time during the night and in the best
patrolled district of the city thieves
entered the jewelry store of T. Lundy
at 744 Market street and robbed it of
diamonds and other jewelry amount
ing to $4,000.
Entrance was made by cutting a
hole through the partition that sepa-
rates the store from candy shop.
This was done without disturbing the
lights burning in both stores. The
hole was made large enough to allow
the thieves to crawl through. Once
inside, they set to work on the main
undertaking.
Two three-eighths inch holes were
bored in the safe near the combina-
ton so that one OF the handles could
be forced back. The second lever was
next forced and the doors opened with
nitro glycerine. The vault was then
cleaned.
The robbery was discovered at $50
o'clock a. m. by Policeman Mcdonald
and Waterman in the neighborhOod.
Two months ago an attempt was made
to enter this store by cutting through
from the same store beside it.
The crime was one of the boldeSt
in the history of police annals, for the
cracksmen, working under the eyes
of a special Waterman employed by
| the merchants, accomplished the rob-
| berry without detection.
Save for a short handled sledge
hammer, a pair of blacksmith's tongs,
| which could have been of absolutely
no value to the thieves, and an oil
cloth cover, such as is usually worn
over dress hat in stormy weather,
the men left no clew as to their iden-
tity. Every compartment in the safe
was gone over by the robbers, but
they took nothing but jewels of value,
set and unset. No watches were stolen,
the operators carefully avoiding any
article that might carry a mark Of
| Identification.
