An Old Soldier Was Relieved Of over
Eight Hundred Dollars While
Asleep in South Fourth
Boarding House.
TIE STRANGERS SKIPPED
TWO Boarders Have Not Been Seen
Since the Old Man Missed His
Money and Money Has
Not Been Found.

| One OF the biggest robberies that
mas occurred in broad day light in
This city in a long time came to light
today when a lady boarding house.
keeper on South Fourth street, divulg-
ed the fact that one of her boarders
on Saturday was the victim of a theft
worked by two young men, neither OF
whom she knows, one of them hav.
ing been in her house for only three
days. The other man she had never
seen before in her life.
The old man who was the victim OF
the theft does not remember when
the money was taken from his clothes,
he having gone to sleep in a chair
in the sitting room of the Crumley
| boarding house at 90 South Fourth
street, on Saturday afternoon
The old man came to the boarding
house on Friday night and spent the
night there. Next morning he went
to a hat store and purchased a hat
and paid for 1T with ten dollar bill
and put the change back in an old
sack in which he carried book
which he claims has been in his pos
session for over sixty years. AS near
as can be learned from the old fel
low who is an old soldier and not
much of talker, he had between
eight hundred and a thousand dollars
! in the sack which he carried on the
/ inside of his vest pocket, in checks
and currency.
| After dinner on Saturday he was
talking to one of the boarders in the
SITTING room and dropped off to
sleep. Just at this time, the boarder
with whom he was talking went out
and returned -hortly with the strang.
or.
The boarding house keeper and hel
daughter heard the two leave thehouse
4 a little later and thought nothing Of
\ it until the old man came into the
/ kitchen about supper time and told in
an excited manner of losing a lot OF
money Not much could be gained
from his talk by the landlady but he
told her that due hill for several
hundred dollars and a lot of en-.
dorsed checks were in the book which
was taken from his pocket.
A search was Immediately made for
the book but Il could not be found
and the old gentleman was advised
to stop payment on the checks at
the Lancaster Mo, bank, on which
| nh nr6p-Q1
He left yesterday for Lancaster
and said on his departure that he
would be back in severa. days to look
again for hir book. Nothing has
been seen of the two boarders since
the money was missed by the old
man though no suspicion is attached
| to them.
The police were not notified of the
theft and it is probable that the mon
ey will never be recovered, the old
nan refusing to tell his name, only
saving that he lived at Lancaster, Mo-
and that he has a lot of rich relatives
1 there.
The book in which tae money was
kent was an ole. note book that he has
had in his possession sixty years and
contained notes, etc, al c diary. The
old man is a soldier and told that he
was going to Quincy soon to entnt
/ the S. & S. Home at that place.
