ROBBED BY
CROWD At HOTEL
|Tazewell Visitor Found Strang--
ers in His Room and Let
Them Stay.
THEN He WENT TO SLEEP
When He Awokc Money, Re
volver and Jewelry Were Gone.
Police Arrest One.
THEN He WENT TO SLEEP

j. Y. Hurt, OF Tazewell county, a
guest at Murphy's Hotel, awoke yes
terday morning to find that he had
been robbed of money, jewclry and
other articles. supposedly by four men,
whom he claims to have found In his
room when he went there to retire
about IL o'clock on Wednesday be-
fore. Detectives were notified OF tho
robbery yesterday morning at Q
O'Clock, and at $50 o'clock o. Z. Bur-
rouShs was arrested on a charge OF
being implicated in the crime.
Hurt claims that he invited the
strangers to remain in the room after
finding them there, and says tina he
went to sleep, little suspecting that
he had been selected as the victim
of a conspiracy. When Hurt entered
the room Burroughs, as spokesman for
his crowd, made the excuse that they
got in the wrong room; but when in
vited to remain the four continued
their conversation, and apparently paid
little attention to their host.
Did Not Suspect Guests.
The crime is believed to have been
committed about l o'clock, as Hurt
says he remembers having been par
TALLY aroused, and dropped asleep
again, thinking hat tho confusion
was caused by the departure of his
guests. When Burroughs was arrested
he had Hurts watch, which Is valued
at SIS, In his pocket, md a diamond
ring was recovered on a pawn ticket
found in his possession. The ring Is
said to be worth s100, but the de-
tectives have failed to find u claimant.
Burroughs has refused to give the
names of his three companions. and
claims that he knows nothing of a
diamond scarf pin, a revolver and $12
in currency. which Hurt says was
stolen. All the articles were taken
from Hurts coat and trouser pockets,
except the pistol, which was hanging
on a hook in the wardrobe. Hurt
says the men We're drinking, and that
they had a quart bottle Of whiskey on
the table when he entered the oom.
No Clue to Missing Men.
Their is no clue to the identity OF
Hurts statement that one of them
cannot talk distinctly. When Bur
! roushs was taken to the hotel he
refused to enter the room, and in the
presence of his accuser denied that
they had ever met before. The detec-
lives believe, however, that the finding
of tho watch is conclusive evidence,
and they also believe the finding OF
the diamond ring recovered will un-
earth another mystery
Burroughs is about twenty-five
years old, and it was said last night
this L. his first experience behind the
bars. Hurt. with h four men. Is
said to have been seen in the lobby OF
the hotel on Wednesday night, but
burroughs docs not claim that he anG
his friends We're invited to the room
Burroughs Will appear In Police Court
to-day, but a hearing will be waived
until the detectives have been given
more time On the case.
Hurt is an Insurance man In Tazc.

for medical treatment for the past two
! weeks.

A Totally
Different" Store

Much favorable comment has
been heard during the past week
on the wonderfully successful
|opening of Tacoma's new credit
store, Lincoln's. In conversation
with Mr.. Alderman, the local
manager, some brief pointed
facts were ELECTED.
That the lincoln store intends
to be conducted on totally differ
ent lines from any of the credit
stores ever before seen in Tacoma
is best demonstrated by a glance
at their up-to-date windows, or,
better still, visit the store and
note the elegant arrangements to
facilitate easy shopping for Taco
ma residents.
"Our Methods" continued Mr..
Alderman, are used exclusively in
other cities by the Lincoln Stores
only.
Our prices are at all times as
low as those of the cash stores,
and no extra charge is made for
credit.
AS a matter of fact, it is gener-
ally known that nearly every store
in Tacoma gives credit, only most
stores insist on having their
money in full every first of the
month. The Lincoln Store, having
large capital at it's call, is enabled
to offer the Tacomans a different
kind of credit. Lincoln Credit
means creditable credit.
Besides all this, everything in
the Lincoln Store is new. You
can pick with your eyes closed
and you can't find any chestnuts
in our stock, for we have no old
or out of date goods to palm off.
Everything considered, contin-
ued Mr.. Alderman, every eco
nomical person that is posted on
values will appreciate the offer
ings of Lincoln's, and we want to
remind the people very emphatic
tally that we give credit, but do not
sell it.
Your simple promise to pay is
all the security we ask for.
Judging from present indica-
btions, Tacoma has been in need of
Just such an institution as Lin
coins, and our progressive people
will no doubt be glad to give the
fLincoln Store the patronage it de-
serves. 80.
