THIEVES ROB
WESTERN UNION

Unknown parties broke in the West
ern Union offices at late hour last
night and robbed the cash drawer of
about $40 in cash. No evidence Of
anything about the doors or windows
being broken could be found and it
is thought that the thief was armed
with a pass key and calmly unlocked
the door and walked in, and helped
himself to what money was in the
till. The management of the West
ern Union are very reticent about the
matter and. are unwilling to talk but
no clue as to the Identification of the
midnight marauders has been discov-
cred by the officers who have the mat
ter in charge. If any have, they have
been kept secret and not disclosed
to the public.
