BURGLAR TAPS TILL
OF SALOON FOR $36
Attempts to Enter Two Other Busi-
ness Houses Are Met
with Failure

Breaking their way into the Colum-
hia Bar on Main street last night
through the cellar, burglars smashed
the cash register and made away Will.
bout $50 in cash and several bottles Of
liquor, leaving no clew by which they
could be tracked. Indications are
that efforts were also made to bur-
glarize the Evans Cigar store and the
Delta on Saturday night
The robbery of the saloon was dis
covered this morning when Herman
Peters, the proprietor, opened for bus
mess. An investigation revealed that
the CRATE in the sidewalk had been
raised, the burglars thereby gaining
entrance to the cellar, from which ac-
cess to the saloon was easy. Secur-
ing the cab register, the burglars or
burglar had taken it into the cellar
where it had been smashed and the
money taken out. Several bottles of
whlskey were also missed from the
shelves
According to Doe Evans, proprie-
tor of the cigar store next to the
Clarke grocery, his place was prevent
ed from being burglarlzed Saturday
by the fact that he and his wife live
in the rear part of the building. He
stated this morning that his wife was
awakened in the night by a noise at
the back door and that when he at
tempted to ascertain the cause, heard
rapidly retreatins footsteps. In the
morning he found that a screen had
l,i
iron door pushed partly open. Also
he discovered that the screen had been
torn from a back window of the Delta
but thinks the wouldbe burglars were
discouraged when they found that the
window had been boarded up from
the interior.
