Billiard ParlOr
Is Broken Into

The billiard parlor of Cooke & De-
Witt on East Main street was broken
into Thanksgiving night by Stewart
Barney and Lynn Simpson, both of
this city. They had been hanging
around the billiard parlor for some
time and had learned just about
where everything was situated. They
stole three ivory billiard balls worth
$50 apiece, cigars, cigarettes and
some money from the till and shipped
them by parcel post to Gridley, Cal.
The total value was about S75. They
both departed for that place on the
next train.
Chief Porter, when notified, by
doing a little detective work found
that they had sent goods by parcel
post to Gridley, and he then tele-
graphed to that place to the police
there, who managed to pick up both
OF the boys and to get the goods,
which were then returned to the
owners via the route that they came.
Through misunderstanding in the
telegram both boys were released
however, and the last that was heard
of Barney was that he was in Sacra-
mento and that Simpson was starting
for home, all money having given
out. Barney was already out on
parole, and it would probably fare
pretty hard with him if he was
caught.
