furnished and the city was in dark

newspaper store OF James ]. Lawler.

pane in one of the side windows and
then raising the sash. After getting
into the pool room it was found that

locked. So one of the glasses in the
door was cut out and then the bolt
was slipped back. The cash register
was robbed Of 50. Whether cigars or
tobacco were taken could not be ascer-
tanned. Two attempts to break into
other places were frustrated.
