Work Of Amateurs Developed on Main Street Tuesday Mornins-Suit Case Only Thing Missing.


 Some time Monday night burglars broke into the White Star Clothing conapany's store on Main street, gain ing entrance from the rear. but car rfed little away with them. The break was discovered when the store was opened Tuesday morning. The in- truders gained an entrance to the rear Of the store from Water street in the rear of the Bill property and climb ing upon single story ell to the Spler building owened window in the clothing store which had evident ly been left unfastened. The burglars paid visit to the office on the fret floor. The safe had been left unlocked over night and all they had to do was to turn the handle and open the door They pried open an inner inclosure where are kept the insurance papers and other documents of no intrinsic value, but the inner safe in the main safe was not damaged or opened. An attempt to open the cash register was made with the aid of a chisel which the burglars found in the store. but to no advantage. The chisel had been drawers There was no money in the safe and what money there was in the store was iE silver, and had been placed in the cash register. It is customary to keep the register open, but for some unAcccuntable reason 1t was locked Monday night. Several boys nlackinaws were removed from the rack On the second floor and were tossed about. It is not known wneth- CT any were taken as the number in stock could not accurately be deter mined on Tuesday. On the first floor the burglars arranged chairs so that they could peer out Of the front win doWs. Another chair was left direct ly under the display Of dress suit cases and bass. One of the best suit cases in stock was missing.
 The break was reported to the po- lice and they have investigated the premises. The work is apparently that of amateurs.
