ENTERED AND $40
STOLEN
No Clue to Robberies in the
City During the Past
Few Days.

After opening the safe in the Of
flee of the Schwabacher company's
store last night, unknown burglars, al
though they succeeded in securing be-
tween $50 and $40 in cash, overlooked
the sum of $125 that was contained in
a cigar box, leading the officers to
believe that the trick was turned by
amateurs, probably boys. Manager T.
r. Eastman said this morning that so
far as he had been able to determine
no articles were taken from the store,
the burglars having been after coin.
Entrance to the building was OBJ
tanned by raising the skylight on the
roof of the grocery annex, and by
means of an old electric light wire,
which had not been in use for some
time, the intruders dropped to the
counter in the hardware department.
annex was left open. the sly-fight was
not closed when the police made an
examination of the precises this morn
ing, and the door on the balcony lead
ing to the elevator had also been left
ajar. probably for the purpose of of
fering ready means of escape in case
the burglars were interrupted.
