THIEVES BREAK INTO HAYES

SELVES TO GOODS.


y What was one OF the most daring
burglaries ever happening in$ Marion
county, was perpetrated last night be-
tween the hours Of midnight and morn
Ing at the merchantile establishment
OF c. Hayes and Company who ope-
rate q store In the Samuel Dunn prop
erty5 at Barrackville.
Entrance was made into the store
by the thief from the front OF the
building. The glass from one Of the
show windows was broken out and
one OF the iron bars which had been
placed on the windows as a means OF
protection was removed allowing .
space large enough for an entrance,
and exit. ~ 5sff ~ 35 -Ssg
Mr.. Hayes stated that over sixty
dollars worth of shoes. were taken.
besides a good line OF half-hose and
some other articles. A thorough ex-,
animation OF the burglary was not
made as it was thought best not to
disturb the goods until the trail of the
robbers was taken up. The shoes
handled by Mr.. Hayes are the Sells
brand. z.
Officer Landis was sent for. who
went Immediately to the scene OF the
theft with his bloodhound. The seen.
was taken up at the store, and follow
ed for about an hour and a half. to 4
camp near where the large forty-foot
cut Is being made for the Fairmont
and Warrington street car line. Here
was found a crowd ot foreigners who
had their goods packed ready to leave.
When they reached = Fairmont they
were apprehended by a search war
rant;issued by Squire Amos. and serv-
ed byt OMcer Parker. None of the ar
ticles called for il the warrant8were
found on the persons searched.
1t is feared that the persons who
have the goods have made good their
hiding place, at least for a while.
Early this morning two foreigners,
both evidently I'M a hnrrysana hindared
with large boxes were seen to board
the train and 1t was thought that they
went on through TO Hammond. w.
Va. Officer. Lands and Mr.. Hayes fol-
lowed them and are working up this
clue which no doubt will lead to the
apprehension of the two persons. who
are said to be suspicious looking AMI
untrustworthy.
During the chase. the hound led the
officers past a place where the per.
sons had eaten a breakfast, and Ian.
dis picked UP what he thinks is dog.
button. which he will turn over to a
chemist and have analyzed. 4.
The hound worked fine this morn.
Ing. and showed the mettle that Is in
him. Mr.. Landis reports that the
two young hounds which he has in
training are showing up fine, ana
show promise Of developing into EN-.
Client trailers. 81
AS We go to press this afternoon.
Lands was seen and reported that
the two men who were followed to
Hammond did not leave the train. A
part OF the crowd of men who were
searched at the local depot this morn.
! ing, went to Hammond Oh the same
train with the officers and two OF them
came back with the officers and In.
quired OF the local ticket agent for i
train to Frostburg. The evidence as
gathered by the. officers shows that
| there is clique among these men,
and that possibly they will meet their
confederates at some city or town
which they have appointed as theis
rendezvous. The clue Is still being
followed. I.
