.ROBBER BROKE INTO
SHOP GETS $3497
Man Entered Mitchell's Meat
Market, East Main,
Early Today.

A robber jimmied his way through
locked window and a bolted door
this morning at an early hour at Pey-
street, and rified the cash register, OBJ
tanning $34.97, mostly in small change.
The man gained entrance through a
rear window facing on court which
is entered from South Sixteenth street
From marks on the window sash, it is
believed that he used a shovel to pry
the window up as the wood work
about the window is splintered and
the glass smashed. The heavy latch
with which the window was locked,
was torn from the wood.
A heavy wood door, separating the
rear room from a middle room, was
fastened with heavy staples. The sta
pies were torn from the door and the
casing. Marks of Jimmy are plainly
to be seen.
Patrolman Otte reported from the
place at II o'clock last night and
At two o'clock this morning he enter
ed the place and found the cash reg
lister drawer standing open and no
money in it He reported the matter
Immediately and a thorough investi-
cation was made. Foot prints were
found leading up to the rear where ac-
cess was gained. Other tracks were
found leaving and these were traced
as far as South Sixteenth street and
the first alley south of Main street.
Mr.. Mitchell stated today that as a
rule no money was left in the cash
register except a few pennies. This
being near the first of the month,
many small accounts were paid last
night and the nickles, dimes and quar-
ters were left in the drawer. He
stated that he believed some one who
has knowledge of the place commit.
ted the crime. The only money left
by the robber was a nickel which he
dropped while leaving the shop. This
Mr.. Mitchell will keep as lucky
piece
