Thieves Get Away With 107
Pairs of Shoes.
TRACKS ARE WELL COVERED
Shipment of Laces is Thor
oughly Rifled.
Local Merchants Start Box of Laces
For New York City and Before IL
Arrives 800 Worth OF the Finery is
Appropriated by Thieves.

One of the most successful robberies
which has been pulled off in Marion
for a number of years ocsurred i'm
the southwest part OF the city, some
time last Sunday night and was not
discovered until Wednesday afternoon.
This gave the thief, or probably
thieves, an excellent opportunity to
get away with the goods and thorough
ly cover up their tracks so that It
will be almost impossible TO follow
them and apprehend the men who got
away with the goods.
A car load of merchandise was be-
ing shipped through here on the Erie
railroad and among other things there
was shipment of fine shoes for n
firm in Indianapolis. It was neces-
sary for the car to 60 through the
yards and during the course Of switch
ing was shifted onto what is known
as the dead track" south of Davids
street. While the car was standing
on this track It was broken open and
107 pairs of Stetson shoes we're re-
moved.
There Is not q clew upon which
the detectives can work and the prob
ability is that the thieves will never
be apprehended.
Just now the different railways
and particularly the Erie find that
thieves are unusually active and arc
making quite decided inroads into the
receipts of the companies by forcing
them to pay for shipments of goods
which have been conflscatcd by thiev-
es. The detective forces of the diff
ferent railroads are unable to keen
watch on all points and the result is
that some very nice hauls are being
made.
A local firm recently made ship
ment of fine goods to dealer in New
York City. Tho box was quite a large
one and was filed with valuable lac
es. When the shipment arrived In
New York 1t was discovered that II
had been tampered with and laceS
valued at $4OO had been removed.
Detectives were put on the cases
and are now Engaged in trying tt
locate the persons who were judges
of good laces and who made such Q
successful haul.
