THIEF LEFT some MONEY.
Wonder Is That He Didn't Take All
That Was Within Reach.

Burlington, July l9.-The New York
shoe shine parlors at l40 Church street
were visited by discriminating bur
glar during Wednesday night, who helped
himself to a nice little wad Of money,
but by no means took all in sight, al
though there was no reason why he
shouldn't have secured d big sum. The
amount taken was $20.l0, which was
in the cash register, and the amount left
in the same receptacle was over $50.
Entrance was made through a door
which leads from a yard in back to a
kitchen in the rear OF the parlors. The
door was fastened from the inside with
a hook, and nail placed over this
latch. A pane OF glass was partially
broken out of window some time ago
and was covered up With pieces of paste
board. The burglar tore the pasteboard
of, and inserted his arm, christening
the catches inside. then he had the pls e
all to himself The register had about
$50 in it, bills and change, but the
burglar was not inclined to take it all.
He simply helped himself to few bills
and some change and then left by the
way he came, making his exit by the
way he entered, through the old Hyland
barn in the rear of Jones & Isham's
store, the structure having been par
TALLY burned about year ago, making
it now easy to pass through, and out by
the alley north of the Burlington Fruit
eompanys store 10 Church street. There
doesn't seem TO be any explanation as
to why the thief didn't take more mon.
