G. AND S. SHOP ROBBED

Work on q trail between eight and
ten hours old, blood hound owned
by Bert Daley, followed the tracks OF
thief who stole five suits of clothes
from the shop of the C and S cleaners.
10 North Fourth street, Saturday
night, from the shop to the ticket Of
! fee at the union depot yesterday
morning.
/ The dogs work verified investiga-
tons made by Chief Of Police Kenney,
which resulted in the recovery Of the
lstolen goods and the police believe
will lead to the arrest of the thief
within a few days.
The hound was not placed on the
trail until 10 o'clock yesterday morn
F! ing The animal took the scent from
some coat hangers from which the
stolen suits had been taken. The
hangers were lying on the floor Of the
shop.
Dog Follows Trail.
AS soon as the dog got the scent
| it started for the back door of the
shop A leash attached to harness on
the dog was held by 200 pound man.
The dog dragged this man behind 1t
at a fast trot out through the back
door of the shop, across lots and
through alleys to the rear of house
in the block between Main and Blon.
deau next to Water. Here the ami
NAL circled the house, indicating that
the man had looked to see If the
coast was clear.
From here the animal went down
Main to the door of the restaurant
on the corner of Main and Water.
When the door was opened. it went in
the room, ran around between num-
her of men, stopped at a stool next to
a counter and ran around this stool
several times before starting for the
door. Once outside the door, the
dog ran directly for the union station
and when admitted, stopped in front
! of the ticket window.
Locate Goods at TT. Madison.
The police learned that the man
suspected of having stolen the clothes
had purchased a ticket for Fort Mad
ison and had taken two suit cases with
him. Communications by telephone,
located the suit cases containing the
stolen clothes at a Fort Madison ho-
tel. The man who had brought the
suit cases there, however, had left BE-
fore the telephone was put in service.
Considering the age Of the trail,
the work of the blood hound was con-
sidered by the police to have been re-
markable. The trail must have seeu
from eight to ten hours old and had
been crossed many times.
Entrance to the shop from which
the goods was stolen, was gained
through the front door. The door Is
equipped with an ordinary night latch
which had not been fastened when the
proprietor left the shop Saturday
night.
