BOLD ROBBERY OF

ING AND $50 CARRIED AWAY
WORK OF PROFESSIONALISM
SMALL CHANGE TAKEN.

After an endeavor at suppression,
facts concerning the robbery of the
Tweeden pool hall Thursday morning
became known this morning. Possibly
v the aid of a door in the rear lead
ing up from the basement, the place
was entered after 2:3O o'clock Thurs
day morning, the safe opened. bills
and dollars amounting to sSs stolen
without clues left as to the guilty
parties.
1t appears that Amos Tweeden was
in the pool hall until $3.50 o'clock and
locked the place himself. He is pos
tive that 1t was secure when he left.
The outer door of the safe was locked
with a combination, while the interior
door was open. Evidently the outside
door was worked by the burglar after
which sailing was clear.
No small change was taken, there
being a considerable quantity found in
the drawer in the morning. No ar
rests have been made in the case as

The accident occurred at the center
