ROFfMAh'S STORE ENTERED.
Thieves Effect Entrance and Get Away
With Large Quantity OF Goods.

The store Of M. Hoffman & Bro.
was entered by thieves between mid
night and day Saturday morning
and goods to the amount of from
$3.50 to 5000 were stolen. The rob-
berry was discovered by Sam Hoff-
man, member of the firm, and J.
A. Weathersbee, a salesman, when
they entered the store to open for
he.day's business.
An investigation revealed goods
scattered from one end of the store
to the other on the mems goods side.
Entrance to the store was made
from door in the rear through the
grocery department. A panel at
the bottom of the door was removed
by means Of an inch auger or brace
and bit, there being Sc holes bored
in order to remove the panel.
On the opposite side Of the store
from that entered an electric light
had been left in the front show wiz
dow during the night. and here
nothing was disturbed, the robbers
keeping on the dark side.
The only clue to the robbers is a
paper bag found in the rear Of the
store, upon which is printed the ad-
vertisement of a Richmond, Va.
firm Of wood and coal dealers, the
name Of which cannot be made out,
but the address is very plain-15O6-
$40 w. Broad street. Mr.. Hoffman
says he has communicated with this
address in the hope Of establishing a
clue upon which to work. The bag
is very heavy one such as is used
by hardware dealers. and is tied up
at one end, but along the side 1T IS
torn open, and Mr.. Hoffman thinks
the tools Of the robbers were carried
in this bag, at least a part Of them.
