ed up for lot of small change when
had been left there when the place was
closed at eleven clock last night.
Petersen and his bartender had re-
tired just after the place was closed
for the night. The doors of the place
were carefully locked and bolted be-
fore they retired for the night and
when search was made this morning it
appeared that none of the locks mad
been tempered with. The windows
leading to the saloon were also locked
and Sheriff Stahl and his men were I'M
able to discover any manner in which
the burglars entered the place.
Petersen and his bartender slept
peacefully all night long and heard
nothing either in the bar room or in
the bed adjoining. They feel certain
that no one could have been concealed
in the saloon at the time it was closed
Friday night and the mystery attending
the robbery is deep. 1t is claimed that
a number of Kenosha men who have a
police court record were seen al out the
saloon Friday afternoon, but all of
these men were properly accounted for
today and it is declared that they could
not have been connected with the
robbery. The robbery at the saloon is
very similar to the burglary of the
GIerum store on Wisconsin street
short time ago and it is thought pos
sible that the same men may have been
connected with the robbery at TrEesdel.
Sheriff Stahl and his men used an au-
tomobile and went as far north as Cor.
liss, but up to a late hour this afternoon
they had not been able to pick up any
suspects.

things in 1nind-frst, that in many in
