ROB STORE
AT AMBER

At Amber Saturday night history
repeated itself when the hardware
store of II. NJ. Smelser was burglar
lied and considerable merchandise
carried off. Among the articles were
two shotguns, one of which about a
year ago was stolen in similar burg
larry and was later recovered.
The visitor entered from the back
door by use of skeleton key, when
he left in the lock. Tracks were in
evidence about the building, showing
that he had removed his shoes while
engaged in the operation, but had
later donned them before taking his
departure, thus making it impossible
fos the officers to get any exact mea-
surements of shoes for future refer
ence.
Two negroes were "ditched from
the Frisco passenger at Amber early
in the evening and suspicion has rest
ed with them. They have. however
made good their escape so far. if they
we're indeed the robbers.
A complete list Of the articles stoler
could not be ascertained without al
invoice, but It was estimated at abou
$50.
