ANOTHER BREAK.
Pettis' Store Entered, Monday Night
Small Amount Of Money Taken.

Another break was reported to the
police Tuesday morning it having been
made at the C. H. Pettis confectionery
store Monday night. Entrance was
gained by forcing the door to the base
ment entrance OF the building on Front
street, and then the rest was easy as
no other doors between the basement
and the street floor were locked. From
the tracks around the basement en-
trance the police are inclined to be-
lieve that the break was the work OF
boys. 1t is also thought the work was
done by someone familiar with the
arrangement of the furnishings of the
store.
The work of the thief was confined to
the office at the east end of the store
where Mr.. Pettis' roll-top desk is To-
Gated The desk was locked, but en-
trance was easily gained by Sitting
the canvas in the rolling top which al
lowed the top to slide up and out of
the way In the desk was a box con-
tanning a number of silver halves and
quarters, but just how much Mr.. Pet
tbs could not state yesterday, and this
was emptied and the money taken
away The desk was ransacked and
its contents examined, but it was not
learned that anything else was taken.
Nothing was missed in the way of con-
fectionery and it was not thought yes
terday that the front part of the store
was visited.

inasmuch as the agent gave a bond

further that if it were found that his

In the questions put to the witnesses
by Messrs. Milliken and Newbert it
developed that there is an apparent
difference between actual profits to the
city of Lewiston and the normal profits
made by other agencies in the State of
about $4,000 on $1,000 worth of bust

committee will probably be ready for
