Breaks into Store

Wednesday night, between the
hours of eleven p. M. and Thurs
day morning the store of Frank
Boles was broken into. The cash
register was pried open and about
fifteen dollars in cash was taken.
Three suit cases, some mems
shoes, shirts collar buttons,
lewelry and other things we're
taken by the night visitors. En-.
trance was gained from the back
of the store by prylng the window
from the bottom and breaking the
catch at the fastenings for the
sasbes. A piece of flattened out
iron was used to pry open the
window and to gain entrance to
the cash register the bar for
opening drygoods boxes was
brought into service.
Matches instead of a flash light
we're used and the surprising thing
is that the whole store was not
set into a blaze. Yesterday
morning force of authorities
were out on the trail of the per-
sons who did the work, but up to
last night nothing was, heard of
them.
Last summer the Cash Depart
ment Store was broken into and
it was some days before the loss
was discovered. The class of
goods taken was much the same
as that secured from the Boles
store. There has been several
petty attempts at this kind of
work and it looks as though the
work was not done by profession
