of loot and the apprehension of rob-
bers who stole furs and silk wearing
apparel to the value of 1900 from
the store OF Julius kohn, at 341
State street, early yesterday morn
ing. Circulars bearing description
of the stolen articles are being print
ed for distribution to police and de-
tectiVes in several cities. 1t is hoped
to thereby gain some trace of the
loot, and perhaps secure some clue
concerning the whereabouts of the
robbers.
Broke Through Windows. -
The Kohn store was entered @s5y
removing two large panes of glass
from the upper sash Of a rear win
dow. Before doing this the robbers
carefully tied a stout rope to the
knobs OF the rear store door and
back door leading to the apartments
on the second floor Kohn says that
only the most valuable silk dresses
and waists and fure were taken. He,
states that between forty and Sky
silk dresses were stolen. The other
loot included three boxes of white
lawn waists, plush overcoat, a
dozen silk shirt waists, a yellow
sweater and the following furs: A
black wolf set, a white fox set,
mink set, two red fox sets. two rae
coon sets and white fox muff The
total loss is roughly estimated by
Mr.. and Mrs. Kohn at about 81 200.

1t is the opinion of Kohn that the
robbery was committed by boys, who
reached the rear of the store through
driveway entering from Fayette
street. There has been talk that
wagon was driven behind the build
Ing and that the stolen goods were
carried over back fence to the We
hicle and driven away. Both The po
lice and the owner scout that be-
lief The latter says the loot was
probably thrust into bags and car
ried away. He says it was light in
weight and could be pressed into
small space.
Easy For Thieves.
According to the belief of Mr..
Kohn, the robbery was committed
some time after l o'clock in the
morning. He says no light was left
burning in the store, thereby making
it easy for the thieves to work un-
observed. They ransacked a case on
the southerly side and near the front
of the store, from which they secured
the most valuable part of the stock
of silk dresses. Nearby they found
the most valuable furs. In their
search for the best goods, boxes were
torn open and thrown about. so that
| when the store was opened yesterday
morning the floor and part of the
hack yard was Uttered with paste
board boxes and shirt waists, dresses
and other wearing apparel of the
cheaper grades. Two silk dresses
were also left behind, having been
dropped in the rear yard.
