Mr.. Work let in the till that even.
ing. How the thieves gained an. en-:
trance. to the meat market Is not
!: known, but the supposition is that
b they had a skeleton key which un-
R locked the front door. One Of the
windows in the rear part OF & the
butcher shop was not fastened shut,
n but, Mr.. Work is confident that the
burglars did not enter the place by
that window, inasmuch as number
of utensils. which We're left standing
on the window sill the night before,
were not disturbed in the least. Mr..
Work stated that even the dust on
the outer window sill was not brushed
off. After completing their work in
the business section of the city, the
night visitors Wended. their steps in
the direction Of the Illinois Central
depot. Shortly after train No. 8,
which is due in Manchester at nine
O'clock in tie evening, had left, two
men rushed to the ticket window, ana
when told that the eastbound train
had just left, expressed some sur
prise at missing their train. Both
seated themselves near the stove in
thetmen's waiting room. Just at this
time Mr.. Esler received an important
message, which he delivered to par
ties at the restaurant near the depot.
Refore leaving the office Mr. Esler
closed the ticket windows and locked
the doors, little realizing that the
two men seated in the waiting room
We're only too anxious to have him
leave for a few minutes. It is sup
posed that one Of the men raised
the blind In the. entry way where the
train crews receive orders and crawl
ed through the opening, while the
second one stood guard. When Mr..
Esler returned to the station some
ten minutes after leaving the same,
the two men had left. This, how
ever, did not arouse any suspicion in
Mr.. Esler's mind, inasmuch as he
supposed they had gone over town
to wait for a later train. Shortly be
fore eleven o clock he sold ticket
to Cedar Falls, he went to the cash
drawer to get change, and discovered
that the office had been robbed, and
only a 25c piece was left: He at
once notified Station Agent H. G..
Pierce Of what had happened. All
stations and nearby cities were noti-
fied Of the burglary, but no clue has
been found. 5s
