THIEVES GET NEXT TO MANKATO
MERCHANTS.

The largest amount of booty ever
secured by thieves in the city of Mankato
at any one haul was stolen early Sunday
morning about 2 o'clock from Carlson
Brothers fur establishment on the corner
of Walnut and South Second street,
when thieves pried open one of the win
dows and stole ST, 500 worth of fine fur
garments and dressed furs, making a
clean getaway with the same in an auto
mobile.
The theft was not discovered until
about 8 o'clock Sunday morning, when
Mr.. Carlson, who had worked in TIE
factory until late hour Saturday night,
went into the building, His attention
was first called to the theft by seeing a
number Of fur coats and other fur gar
ments missing from a line which was
strung across the main show room.
Further investigation showed that
the thieves had used jimmy to pry
up one of the side windows, and from
all indications after securing their plum
der they left by the side door to the
rear, going through the alley between
Second and Broad streets until they
reached the rear OF Captain Andrews
property, where they crossed the lawn
and placed the stolen furs in an auto
mobile left standing in front of the Blum
residence on South Broad street, across
the street from the public library.
AS soon as Sheriff Osten was notified
Of the robbery, he got busy on the tele-
phone and called up all surrounding
towns. The only clew that might lead
to the direction taken by the thieves was
the fact that an auto drove through
Mortified at 5 o'clock yesterday morn
ing going at top speed.
Among the loot secured was valuable
fur lined coat belonging to Judge w. L.
Comstock, which he had left stored there
over summer. Mr.. Carlson took an
inventory of his stock yesterday and
finds that the following articles are
missing:
Thirteen ladies' fur coats, one gentle
mans coat, IL beaver skins, 10 mink
skins, 10 fitch skins, one grey squirrel
coat lining, 2 grey squirrel plaits, 2
Alaska seal skin, ID inches long, 6 otter
skins, natural, and 6 otter skins plueked
6 red fox skins, 2 black fox skins, 1G
electric coney skins, 80 or 40 while weasel
skins, beaver sets melon shape muffs,
black marten sets, 2 mink muffs,
mink scarfs, 8 Jap mink muffs, 2 yellow
opposum scarfs and mufs, 1 black
marten muff pillow shaped, American
grey squirrel muff and one scarf of the
same material. The latter is rare fun
and should be easily recognized. In adj
dition to the above were two second
hand mink sets and one muskrat set with
brown and black stripes, and one yellow
skunk throw.
Mr.. Carlson states that about three
weeks ago someone tried to, break into
his place by raising the window, but a
wedge at the top of the same prevented
it going up.
Had the thieves gotten into an ad-
joining room of the building, they would
have secured larger booty. In that
room is stored several thousand dollars
worth of valuable dressed hides ready to
be worked up into garments.

MUNICIPAL PLANT FOR SALE.

By vote of almost seven to one the
citizens of Tracy at an election held last
week decided to dispose of their electric
light plant. There were 256 registered
in favor of selling and only 36 against it.
The plant has never been success
since the city has been operating it,
hence the overwhelming vote in favor
of the sale. A Mr.. Erick of Candy
is negotiating for the purchase of the
plant and the deal will no doubt be
closed at an early date.
